Regarding the letter from the small business owner....it reminded me of a case I saw on the People's Court when Judge Wapner was still presiding. The plaintiff was a gift shop owner and she had signs posted prominently that stated that if customers broke her merchandise, they bought it and for parents to take responsibility if their children cause damage. The defendant was one of these idiots who thought nothing of turning her kid loose and letting him do whatever he wanted. The defendant had entered the plaintiff's shop, immediately turned her kid loose, and the kid proceeded to destroy items made of crystal and porcelain! These items were quite expensive! When the shop owner pointed out the signs to the defendant, the defendant basically stuck her nose in the air and told the plaintiff to suck it up and get over it because kids will be kids. In the defendant's view, no one was allowed to say "No" to her child! Judge Wapner set the defendant straight and ordered her to pay for ALL the damages!
