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.

At the age of 9 I was wandering all over the place and out of sight of my parents.I was allowed out to play and I range far and wide,climbing trees,wading in streams and generally being a kid.However I was reminded time and time and time again about going near the stream....Kids don't always listen.However my gran always knew I'd been in the stream because her coven of local 'witches' knew who I was and reported in....Not every child in this day and age lives in such a tight community.
Luckily I never came across a place in my travels where I could get into trouble like this lad.Now you can say my parents were negligent but I think they allowed me the freedom to be a child,unlike today's children who can't even go out to play a game of footy....
