A young woman has dragged her own parents to court over what will come across as a rather flimsy excuse.

The young woman identified as an 18-year-old woman from Carinthia, Austria, has shocked people with her recent action.
The yet to be named girl, is currently suing her own parents over the 500-odd childhood photos they’ve posted of her on Facebook without her consent.
According to The Local, an English-language Austrian newspaper, she said: “They knew no shame and no limit and didn’t care whether it was a picture of me sitting on the toilet or lying naked in my cot — every stage was photographed and then made public.”
She went on, “I’m tired of not being taken seriously by my parents,” who, despite her requests, have refused to take the photos down.
The woman’s father reportedly believes he’s in the right to post the pictures because he took them. But her lawyer is adamant that if he can prove the photos violated the woman’s right to privacy, her parents could be forced to pay damages and legal fees.
The trial date is set for November, unless the parties involved can settle the whole thing with an allowance raise.
