Best answer: "GS: Are young boys a nuisance because they are so rough? Should they be legally liable if they injure someone?"
No and no!
"A couple of days ago a woman in New York lost her lawsuit against her 12 year old nephew."
She's looking for a pay day from the liability section of the homeowner's policy of her nephew's parents.
"He needs an spanking and a grounding, not a jail sentence."
Actually he doesn't need either of those things. He didn't intentionally hurt her...he was excited to see her, and jumped into her arms as a result of that excitement.
He was 8 years old at the time...he's 12 years old now. If he still gets excited like that, the only thing he needs are his parents to teach him to be mindful of the way he interacts with people.
He doesn't need to be punished for accidentally hurting his aunt.
