No. This is a tough one. If a child does something that injures or kills someone, then someone should be held responsible. Its not fair that associated cost falls on the victim’s family. Here we have an 87 year old so I can’t imagine there are too many consequential damages, like loss of income to a family. I can see good arguments on both sides:
On the one hand, the old woman’s family is putting the child and her family through a traumatic experience where there aren’t any tangible losses.
On the other hand, the child did something that resulted in a death and you can’t just tell the woman’s family to get over it.
Wht “should” some one be sued?
