A mother sought specified access to her 15-year-old daughter and access to the daughter's school records.
The daughter, who had disclosed physical abuse by the mother and had run away from her care, consistently expressed that she did not wish to have contact with her mother.
The court dismissed both motions, finding that specified access was not in the child's best interests and that the child's school records were privileged under the Education Act and should not be disclosed.
The court emphasized the child's views and preferences, the mother's volatile and verbally abusive conduct, and the child's privacy interests.
