That may be true, but I do remember that the parents were
contesting paying the ticket.
Same thing? I
dunno.....

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
