Speaker 2 (00:05):
This is the most twenty twenty five thing I have
ever heard. Okay, today the crazy train is headed over
to Ghana, where a fourteen year old just took his
parents to court for sending him to boarding school.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Why and he won?

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Really so, a fourteen year old boy who grew up
in London said he was tricked into flying to Ghana
in Africa by his parents under the pretense of visiting
a sick relative. And when he got to Ghana, they
were like, just kidding, there's no sick relative. We're sending
you to boarding school over here. Oh no, And the

(00:44):
kid was like, no, you're not, so I don't know
how he was able to find some lawyers, but this
fourteen year old found lawyers and took his parents to
court and said, they tricked me into coming over here
to this random country, sign me up for boarding school,
and I do not want to go. That's crazy. And
initially the courts in London said, okay, but they're your parents,

(01:08):
they can do what they want. They have your best
interest at heart. But he kept fighting and a court
of appeal said no. They sided with the teen and
they said that his freedom of choice had been infringed upon. Wow,
And so they cannot send him to boarding school, especially
under the false pretense of visiting a sick relative. Does't
say what happens to the parents. They have to let

(01:30):
him come back home to London. Woh no, you're not
gonna sue me and then try and come back to
my house. Okay, that part that's crazy. That is crazy.
