The Boy Who Sued His Mother
Disagreements between parents and children are common and can lead to some almighty rows and fallings out.
In most cases, they are resolved and later laughed about and/or brought up as examples of awful parenting once the child involved is older. However, in some situations it can turn nasty, leading to serious rifts that take years to heal.

The reason? She confiscated his mobile phone in an attempt to get him to study.
