Subject: RE: [Sndbox] FL. Boy fined on
bike
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
