Rights of child trump Mom's

Just a little follow-up to a previous discussion about Jane Doe wanting to have a baby without her live-in boyfriend being involved in any way.

Turns out that the Supreme Court denied her request for an appeal.

So baby, Mommy & Daddy make three; even though John Doe doesn't want any part of parenting.

And Junior's rights trump Mom's. Nice to see for a change.

From the Star:

"So one of the messages is that we treat children differently from property."
