I do not understand the black/white thinking. The parent made a mistake, I don't think that makes her negligent. Again, how many good parents have lost their child in a grocery store or a mall?
If you are a great parent, and you are outside while a neighbor is preparing to paint his garage, and your 3 year old manages to grab the paintbrush in the bucket and slaps it on the guys Mercedes while your attention is momentarily diverted, guess who is financiallying responsible for the damage?
Yes, things happen. AND truly good people admit their mistakes and do what they can to make reparations. If a child caused a pet to die on accident, there are still financial penelties. Shouldn't this have something similar?
