Related: About this forumFlorida man claims he's his own sovereign state and doesn't have to send his daughter to school
A judge has ordered a Central Florida man to enroll his 8-year-old daughter in school.
The man is claiming he is a sovereign state and not bound by U.S. laws.
Joseph Rosa, 37, refused to answer questions during his trial Monday.
Social workers said that the girl stopped attending school last year. During visits to the house, Rosa and his wife never showed proof that their daughter was attending a private school or being home-schooled.

When I was eight, I sometimes wished my own parents would've done this.

If he's a sovereign state, he can build his own!
