Dad sues to teach daughter about polygamy

[BVS]

HALLAM, Pennsylvania (AP) -- Tracey L. Roberts isn't trying to stop her ex-husband from voicing his support of polygamy, a belief that broke up their marriage.

But she doesn't want him teaching their 10-year-old daughter, Kaylynne, about the practice or exposing her to it in any way. She's won her point in a lower court but now her ex-husband, Stanley M. Shepp, has taken the case to the state Supreme Court.

It will be interesting to see how the "right to privacy" will apply in this matter

If that's what he chooses to believe, that's his right .

But I definitely believe his wife has the right to stop him from imposing it upon their daughter. The interests of children have to be protected in my opinion not only by parents, but also by the govt/courts to some extent.
