US music student wins stalking order against her own parents Aubrey Ireland, 21, a senior at the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati, went to court to complain that her parents, David and Julie, would drive 600 miles from their home in Leawood, Kansas and turn up unannounced. Julie Ireland told the court: "She's an only child who was catered to all her life by loving parents. We're not bothering her. We're not a problem. But her daughter, who has achieved high grades and is due to graduate in the spring, said it was "like I was a dog with a collar on." According to the Cincinnati Enquirer the university hired security guards to keep the parents away from their daughter's music performances. After she cut all contact with them her parents stopped paying the tuition fees, but the university gave her a full scholarship for her final year, the newspaper reported. Kenyatta Mickles, a University of Cincinnati law professor specialising in civil protection orders, told the Enquirer, it was "controlling behaviour." The professor said: "A 21-year-old with social networking, a cellphone and laptop, that's the way they control her at this point."
