That Dad had every right to ground his child for bad behaviour. I say kudos to the dad for actually trying to be a parent. What a stupid judge and what a stupid mom.

The mother suggested taking the father to court since the school required both signatures on the permission slip. I believe the father has now relinquished custody, on the basis that he no longer has control of his childs behaviour. This was part of an ongoing custody battle.

If the state will control everything, then I have no say, and I won't be around to take the blame for their mistakes. It would certainly be an aweful thing, but in such a case, the state has already taken custody, so you might as well formalize it.
