6 year old girl is allowed to be sued for causing the death of an elderly woman... The little girl was 4 at the time of the accident and hit an 87 year old woman while racing her bike, fracturing the elderly woman's hip and causing her death 3 months later...

What say you?

I don't really understand how you "sue" a child since she isn't even old enough to have a job or money. What are they going to take from her? Her barbie collection?

So this is what the world is coming to, suing children :| It doesn't sound like she did it on purpose and she's already going to feel bad enough, let alone getting sued at 6 years old.

I'd like to see the elderly ladies medical records. If the hip fracture caused death 3 months later, I wonder what they did directly after the incident to supposedly remedy the problem.

You can't sue minors.Quick-Time

Not according to this judge:

"He also wrote that the Juliet's lawyer had presented no evidence as to the child's lack of intelligence or maturity, nor that "a child of similar age and capacity" would not have understood the danger of riding a bicycle into an old woman."

I doubt that judge is going to be a judge come next elections.

That old lady and her family should be ashamed of themselves for bringing the suit against that girl. They just want money... greedy bastards. Good thing they won't win the suit.

My grandmother fell and broke her hip at a similar age. Her mind was fine before it happened, but afterwards you'd be lucky to get more than a smile and a "hi" out of her. 7 or 8 months after the accident you could barely speak to her at all.

She just completely deteriorated. At that age, a broken hip is a lot more than just a broken bone.

Here is another murderer who was a child: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Bell

But she was 10, and the kids in your example were 10 as well.

10 is long way in learning and maturity from 4.

Still not enough... Human's can't even percieve depth until they are almost two (which is why you don't allow infants that can crawl to be on top of things, as they can't tell they are above something as they have no idea of depth and will simply crawl off the edge)... So I don't see how this judge considers a 4 year old able to judge morality 2 years later... 10 year olds either in the case of those examples... The human brain isn't even fully developed until you are well into your 20's....

Right, but federal judges are elected for life. I'm not sure what kind of judge this is and what kind of term limits he's under, but he may never be up for re-election again.

10 is long way in learning and maturity from 4.

Those cases usually are caved in by public demand rather any kind of rationale research, or thought.

This is bull, back when I was 4, I was riding my bike, and I crashed. I'd admit that I wasnt aware that bikes cant go up 90 degree angles. Maybe that girl thought that the old lady would move out of the way, or maybe she was distracted by something. After all, kids, epecially kids younger than 6, have very poor attention spans.

The children isn't getting sued, the parents of that children are. I am pretty sure any child under the age of 7 can not be held responsible for a crime.

Wait....this can't be serious???? You have to prove to a judge that a 4 year old lacks intelligence and maturity?

The parents are the ones who end up paying if the child is found negligent--the parents are usually sued at the same time or later, either for negligent supervision or on a theory similar to respondeat superior (the tort doctrine that makes employers responsible for the negligence of employees in some situations).
