Whatever about where you stand legally, how about where you stand morally?

Your kid damaged other people's cars. Man up and pay for the damage.

No, no, your spelling. ("they're"when you mean "their").

According to someone else.

I could say the OPs kid damaged my car too, am I allowed a hand out off him?

morally i would pay up if it was beyond doubt, i've explained this earlier on, basically the first chip that has been shown to me i do not believe was caused by my son and i have been backed up by autoglass as being "very unlikely" and needing a "substantial velocity" which instantly puts doubt in my mind towards the entirety of the incident,

How can you be sure of that if you never saw throw the stones?

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?

Have you inspected and evidenced the damage?

The chip is easy to do and cheap to fix - get them to fix it through their insurance and re-imburse them. The new screen is a different matter, but you'd need to confirm with an expert if it can be repaired.

How did he get to the neighbours stones then?

How sure are you that he didn't do it? 50/50? 75/25?

Can you not take away your child's I Phone 6, I Pad Air/whatever, PS4 and Xbox 1 and sell them all to pay for the damage. That'll learn him !
