This happened on Friday, the suit was filed on Tuesday. NOTHING happened to the child.

[NoKoolAidforMe]

Like you can’t see the difference between apple juice and a margarita?

Were the parents brain dead?

[kbennkc]

5 bucks says it was a set up by the alleged parents.

[Dr. Sivana]

Reimburse for medical expenses, name the new procedure to avoid goofing up again after the kid, and give the family a choice of numerous gift certificates for either Applebee’s or a comparable “casual dining” alternative of their choice. Keep the lawyers out.

Who puts booze in a child’s sippy cup? Didn’t the person who was poring it notice? Just askin’!???

[cripplecreek]

Show me da money.

[KoRn]

Was there REALLY $25,000 worth of harm done here???

[dblshot]

Their first clue was when the kid started hitting on the waitress and trying to bum a cigarette.

Here’s some advice - don’t feed your child garbage! I wouldn’t eat there, bacteria vacationland...

[trumandogz]

How awful!

You take your son and your Baby Daddy to Applebee’s, the finest restaurant in town, and your 15 month old son drinks your margarita!

“This could have turned out very badly.”

And if it had, you would have grounds for a lawsuit.

I’m sure Applebee’s would pay your medical bills if you drop your suit and limit their liability to that.

[org.whodat]

Lawsuit lotto, if I was on the jury the kid would get his hospital bill paid.

[Uncle Miltie]

“Hey, honey! The kid looks totally conked out. Let’s go hop in the sack!”

Never let an opportunity like this go to waste!

[Atlas Sneezed]

The corn syrup or sugar in the margarita mix would have done more harm than the alcohol.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I had this happen to my four-year-old daughter on one occasion at a restaurant. A round of drinks was ordered, with a coke for her--she ended up with rum-and-coke, or something similar. I noticed her making a face when she took a drink, and immediately became suspicious.

I brought the drink back to the bar, offered some critique, got an unspiked Coke for my daughter, and then got on with life.

[Conan the Librarian]

Why would you take a child to a bar and grill? Take the child to McDonald’s where they can have some fun.

If you want to eat at a bar and grill, get a babysitter.

[Responsibility2nd]

Parents are stupid.

 

2-year-old mistakenly sips white Russian at Boston eatery - He’s no tea toddler

 

 

[Kieri]

The local news said his blood alcohol was .10.

[vpintheak]

Sueing. What a crock. I would have demanded free meals and put my kid to bed, I would have been PO’d for sure, But sue? Give me a friggin’ break!

[jagusafr]

“This could have turned out very badly.”

IOW, nothing happened, there were no damages except the inevitable “negligent infliction of emotional distress”, and that means this attorney’s just an attention whore looking for a quick score.

Not surprising at all considering how ridiculously prudish some Americans can be about alcohol. Nothing happens to the kid, but he's a 'victim'? Puuhleeze ... just an excuse for a frivolous lawsuit.

In a way, though, maybe we can't really blame the parents ... they're probably CYA-ing against some nanny-state loving p.c a$$wipe reporting them to CPS for 'allowing' their kid to consume alcohol - the results of which would be them having the kid taken away and being prosecuted for child abuse.

I really wish that Americans would wise up about alcohol and stop being so damned puritanical about it. That's one of the few things the Euros get right ... maybe we should take a lesson from them.
