4-Year-Old Can Be Sued, Judge Rules in Bike Case
By ALAN FEUER
Published: October 28, 2010
Citing cases dating back as far as 1928, a judge has ruled that a young girl accused of running down an elderly woman while racing a bicycle with training wheels on a Manhattan sidewalk two years ago can be sued for negligence.

she killed a lady? damn.
Soon it will be ground for lawsuit if a kid is walking down the street and someone trips over him or her. They'll file a lawsuit on the grounds that the child is too short and cons utes a hazard in the natural movement of a person walking.
This lawsuit happy country makes me sick.
I'm curious what the point of suing a young child is. It's not like a child has any assetts from which to claim a settlement/award, and the parents are already being sued.
That's just ridiculous.
I have to wonder if this judge has any children given the ridiculous statements he made about the capacity of 4 year olds.
Four-year olds can not be prudent.He added that any “reasonably prudent child,” who presumably has been told to look both ways before crossing a street, should know that dashing out without looking is dangerous, with or without a parent there.
"see you in court" is part of America's history as a made-up, inorganic, legalistic/moralistic country, created out of nothing, and totally dependent on laws and Cons ution for its sense of self. Other countries change the Cons utions, sometimes completely, and no great shock.
But if the US threw out the Cons ution for a Cons ution II, there would be no more America, and there would probably be mass psychosis. This is what the "Christian" theocratic American Taleban intend to do by installing the Bible and 10 Commandments as the law of the land.
Lawyers will mostly do any old , trivial lawsuit as make-work, and judges mostly comply by accepting the suits.

Maybe it's just a tactic to get the parties to the negotiating table. I'm sure the parents don't want their kid to be subject to depositions by opposing counsel.
Some events are so irrational they defy a rational explanation.
This cant possibly be real.
YES WE CAN . . . sue four year-old kids.
You can sue a four year-old kid here in Texas for intentional acts. I'm not entirely sure about liability for negligence. Where's FWD when you need him?
State's rights at work is all. Nothing to see here.
First they take away their lemonade stands, now they sue them. No wonder we have so many gangs. What else is a kid to do?

You can't believe what you read in the New York Times. Only Faux News speaks the truth.
What else is a lid top do?
LOL...
Kid to do.
I'll go back and edit that.
http://www.counterpunch.org/2017/02/...-their-courts/In recent decades, the nonsense about our society being too litigious (except for business vs business lawsuits) has become even more extreme. Not only do we file far fewer civil lawsuits per capita than in the 1840s, according to studies by University of Wisconsin law professors, but jury trials have been declining in both federal and state courts, with trials down by 60% since the mid-1980s.
has much to do with "justice" becoming so expensive, and RIGGED, that citizens have had the court house doors slammed in their faces, except when BigCorp goes after citizens, patients, employees.
I love how the group that es about our society being too litigious elected a president who sues everybody.
That's all there is on commercials now. Either suing people, or, people with diarrhea problems.
They'll put some good looking girl on there and then she confesses that her ain't right.![]()
