Perhaps he should have been playing somewhere that wasn't close to a road.� Perhaps the parents should have been keeping a closer eye on their children when close to the street.� Also, regardless of whether it was an accident or intentional, the boy and/or his parents *are* responsible for the damage.� If I accidentally scratch a car in a parking lot, I'm responsible for fixing the damage even though I didn't do it on purpose.

If my child were playing basketball with some friends and passed the ball and it went through a window in a parked car, at the very least I should offer to pay for the damage even though it was an accident.� So yes, even if something is an accident there is always a consequence.

Well depending on the circumstances Jackie.� Yes sometimes an accident needs punishing, if for no other reason than to reinforce the lesson that you don't put yourself in the same situation a second time.� For example in the example I used of me breaking a window.� It was an accident that I broke the window, because I wasn't throwing the rock or ball or whatever it was at the window.� However, I shouldn't have been in the position where I could hit the window either.� So, yes, I got punished.� Rightfully so.
so he shouldnt have been playing with his friends? i dont see where this applies in this particular situation________________________________
