What ever else has happened in the interim has no bearing on the case.

I have to say that when I first read this story I thought the same as everyone else.That is until I reread it and noted how old he was when the accident occured.
And I would like to point out that at the age of 9 I was not out of sight of either my parents or a responsible adult. Perhaps he should have sued his parents (when they are released) and take away the money they made from their coke dealing?

9 years old... can't be expected to be responsible? Then he shouldn't be out on his own.

Jeeez, whatever next? "He ran out in front of a car, so the driver was negligent in knocking him over"?

He should get nothing.
