Judge rules mobile ban is NOT child abuse

A 15- YEAR- OLD took his mother to court claiming child abuse after she confiscated his mobile phone in an attempt to make him study.

But a judge who heard the case in Almeria, southern Spain, came down firmly on the side of the mother, declaring that she was “well within her rights” and took “the correct action” as a responsible parent.

“She would not be a responsible mother if she allowed her son to be distracted by the mobile phone and fail to study,” said the court ruling from magistrate Luis Columna.

He added that a parent is responsible for their child’s education, which is exactly what the accused did in this case “without taking it to unnecessary extremes”.
