  • so if someone is trying to claim for a chip that in all probability was already there and they know this in my opinion, why would i entertain anything they say being the truth?
  • You're in denial aren't you and you're looking to excuse your bad parenting.
    lol you really are out to paint me as a bad parent lol, weird when you don't know me, i've explained the incident yet you're more than happy to disbelieve me and harp on about my apparent bad parenting because i didn't strap my child to me and i can't promise that i had my eyes on him for every second that day, each to there own, seems as if you wanna push this and get into an internet argument about it,
  • Now you need to insult my grammar, i think that's how we evolve this further.

    Indeed. We only know the circumstances as you've described them, with the best possible gloss that you can put on them.

    simple question, if you had doubt would you pay up?

    I wouldn't be in the position you're in, so whether I doubted my neighbours would not be an issue.

    Incredible. Let me ask the majority of people on this thread a question, do you watch your child every minute of the day? I didn't think so, so wind your necks in a little and be realistic.

    You all seem to be suggesting the OP should have told his son not to throw stones at cars. How on earth do you think to tell a child that without it happening first? They need to do wrong to learn from their mistakes and learn right from wrong.

    If there is damage on the car, the OP has no responsibility to pay for it. Morally, that's another question and that comes down to whether the OP believes his child caused the damage or the two people are chancing it because they saw it happen and think it's an easy way to make some money (which is potentially the case if they have submitted this to a court already, fear tactics).

    I think some of you need to chill out a little. I bet your children have done things they shouldn't have without you seeing.

    We're talking about a 4yo, next to a road.
