#3 No charges will be brought against the unamed boy or his mother.

Some interesting civil suits might follow, depending on how well insured she is, though.

And what on earth is a 4 yr old doing up and out alone late at night?

#8 Walked into my grandparents house once around this age and said, "Cars go boom." Caused all kinds of excitment, lol.

Apparently I'd gotten into one and pulled it out of park, letting it roll into another just a few feet away. Good thing for me that they didn't live on a hill. :)

#10 # 3 True Nuff

Kid's do the most amazing thing's , stunt's etc.
the little guy, obviously snuck out of the house
and perhap's has ONLY a Mommy- absent father. Mom was sleeping. The car door's need to be locked
and the car keys OUT OF REACH- just like the chemical's under the sink. When I was 6 I got the chicken pox- my scalped itched so much , I grabbed my father's shaver and shaved my entire head and went to school bald for awhile!

All kid's do these types of action's/behavior's
Why sue civil?? Nobody was hurt- simply pay for damage to the car's that were hit. Case's like that CLOG THE COURT'S.
