On the news: Four year old being sued for negligence. Riding her bike she knocks down an elderly woman and now she is being sued. What is wrong with this picture?

Read the last book in the Bible.    There is hope. You can find it in the Bible, too! Read on!

I'm sure she won't get much from the four year old.

If daddy has money, he has a lawyer.

If not, then good luck getting blood from a turnip.

What's she gonna do? Steal the little girls Halloween Candy?

and I agree, bout the only hope I have left is the good book.

for me its not the issues of who has money and who doesnt (and my daddy uses the turnip comment  ) but about SUEING a FOUR year old. How freakin rediculous. And I agree about the bible.......think I am going to go crack that open.....

But Justice Wooten rejected a motion to dismiss the case, pointing out that Juliet was three months from becoming five when the pensioner was hit and old enough to be sued.

In his decision, he wrote Mr Tyrie 'correctly notes that infants under the age of four are conclusively presumed incapable of negligence'.

He added that 'Juliet Breitman, however, was over the age of four at the time of the subject incident. For infants above the age of four, there is no bright-line rule'.

I guess for particularly heinous "crimes" or if the accused is a particularly bright toddler, the prosecutor will move to "get them tried as a four-year old" compared to the notion of getting teens "tried as an adult" now LOL

Can we please instruct the bailiff to put a high chair in, so the accused can take the stand? I hereby sentence you to serve three consecutive days in timeout without the possibility of parole. However, with good behavior, you can have a "candy-full visit" on Halloween

I'm sure she won't get much from the four year old.

"Judgments last forever", as they say. If she grows up to win the lottery or invent a cure for cancer, the judgment will be there waiting to collect.
