You wouldn't want that right taken away from you, would you?

I believe there needs to be a preemptive measure taken with civil suits such as this. There need to be a panel of circuit judges that read over a brief of facts from both sides to determine whether the case ever makes it to court. Not all criminal cases make it past the arrest... the same should be true with lawsuits. You file a suit and the suit is found to be frivolous, you are responsible for a fine for court costs. This will keep only those truly serious about it from launching such cases that cost tax payer dollars and slow the system down to a squeak.
Yes, there should be a right, but there should be checks and balances within the judiciary itself to prevent such utter wastes.
Also, why do parents feel the need to give their FOURTEEN year old children cell phones? WTF? I have an 11-y/o. I've debated giving him a cell... the requirements being that only specific numbers can call it and it can only call specific numbers (I wonder if the Migo has BOTH features). A teenager has no business with a cell phone for the sake of having it. And as mentioned above, I agree 100% 100 times over that American parents need to step up to the plate and start taking responsibility for the children. This isn't a communist country... we're not "all in it together" so to speak when it comes down to everyone else's welfare. While it sounds lovely, it isn't the case...
