This is the fault of the PARENT. Hope Wal-Marts lawyer looks at that possibility.

It won't matter whose fault it is.Unless Wal Mart has a film of the parent actually pushing the mirror onto the child,the family will get big $$$$....most likely as the result of a private settlement.

After all,can you imagine the river of tears that would be shed during a trial? And can you imagine the effect that these tears will have on the jurors when they deciding just how to punish "big,bad Wal Mart"?

I know. But if the child was crawling all over something he should not have been, and the mother was not watching him, maybe, just maybe, someone like me would be on the jury. I believe in personal responsibility, no matter how sad the situation is.

Here is a thought. Being judged by "peers" has been so tightly defined in todays courtroom, that if a black person is on trial, they have to have a black jury, if a hispanic is on trial, there must be hispanics...etc.

Wal-Mart should have "big" businessmen and women on their jury. Seems fair.
