Girl 4, neglect of faces, judge gives following the OK

Although most 4 - year-old probably can not say the word "negligence", apparently, they are old enough to be sued for it.

This is good, 4 years.

In April 2009, 4 years old pals, Juliet Breitman and Jacob Kohn, were races bicycle on a sidewalk in Manhattan, New York Times reported. failing to harness their newly developed fine motor skills, they crashed into a woman aged 87.The injured woman needed hip surgery and is died three months after surgery.

His estate proceeds to sue their mothers for négligence.Juriste Juliet, James P. Tyrie and clearly experienced cyclists, has argued that "courts have held that a child under the age of 4 is expected to formally be incapable of negligence" and that "infants less than 4 years old are formally presumed incapable of neglect."

Judge Paul Wooten has decided that these decisions do not apply to Juliet Breitman because, after all, it was a whopping four-and-three-quarters at the time of the accident.He found that it is sufficient age to be required and allows the prosecution against him to move forward.

Tyrie stated that his young client should not be held liable because his mother was supervising the race.Yet once judge Wooten purchase him apologize.His reasoning, according to The Times, is that "everything 'reasonably prudent child,' which has probably been informed look both ways before crossing a street, should know that killing without looking is dangerous, with or without a parent it."Because, of course, children only need to be informed about the things a fois.Sure judge Wooten.

However, Wooten added if parent to encourage dangerous behaviour, the child would responsable.Mais because Juliet's mother does not appear to have an "active" in the accident, it is off the coast of the hook and his 4-year-old is blamer.Et because there is no evidence of "Lack of mature Juliette", trial continues.

If Juliet is found guilty, we wonder if it will have to declare a criminal record in his application for kindergarten.
