breaking legal news - you can sue 4 year olds

Imagine this:

2 kids ride bikes with training wheels down the street of Manhattan, with their parents supervising. One of the kids, 4 year old Juliet, hits an elderly woman causing her to fall and break her hip and require surgery. The woman later died 3 months later of unrelated causes.

Her estate SUES the children and their parents for negligence. And yes, apparently the children can be held accountable, says Justice Wooten:

Mr. Tyrie “correctly notes that infants under the age of 4 are conclusively presumed incapable of negligence,” Justice Wooten wrote in his decision, referring to the 1928 case. “Juliet Breitman, however, was over the age of 4 at the time of the subject incident. For infants above the age of 4, there is no bright-line rule.”

Now those little rascals will be held ACCOUNTABLE for their actions!
