Father jailed for calling daughter "she"

[Moksha]

Back in the 1600s, wouldn't conservatives have burnt this young person at the stake for being a witch?

Ajax, in many locations, it’s an outdated use. I’ve never heard a teenager referred to as an infant in my legal practice. Minor? Yes. Juvenile? Yes. Child? Yes. Infant? No.

But I don’t think you intended to use it any sort of legal sense.

Isn't the term infant used in one of the first court cases you do in law school. Remember the one with the kids trespassing at the depot turntable that led to one kid losing a leg.

But I don’t think you intended to use it any sort of legal sense.

Then you're wrong.

Gosh, things are getting really interesting, aren't they?

The father should just cut the kid out of his life. He'd be doing everyone a favor. Look. If one of my kids were living in a manner that went against my values or ethos, and we couldn't find resolution, then going no contact would be best for everyone. More people should give that a try instead of being craps to each other.

Ajax, you're so silly. It would be cute if your worldview wasn't a swirling cesspool. Here, allow me to tell you what you meant. You meant to equivocate. You used an unnecessarily obscure term for hyperbole, not clarity; to exaggerate the youth of the subject, while staying technically correct.

"I can't believe you'd allow an infant to smoke marijuana! Hey everybody, Rick has just admitted to giving his infant son a pack of zig-zags!"

"That's slanderous, Steve! I would never do such a thing. I said I gave a pack to my seventeen-year-old son who came home high. We got in a fight, and in order to stop him from heading for his car to hit the store and buy some, I gave him a pack on agreement that he stay home."

"But Rick, I mean the legal definition of "infant". According to the legal definition, your son is an infant!"

He's probably under court order to pay for the sex change.

If he had been, it would have been included in the very sympathetic piece of writing in your OP. But it wasn't, so until you can find a source, what you claim is implausible.
