TTfT1485, Damage done by a child has special considerations. This is based on the idea that children have limited intelligence and self-control. And so, in a poetic sense, the Talmud states, “Encountering a child is bad. If they damage they are not liable. But if an adult damages them he will be liable.”
What about parents? Are they liable for the damage done by their children?
Another angle to consider is: When the child becomes of age (Bar/Bas mitzvah) will the child be liable for the damage that they did as children?
