Last month my son and several of his friends were playing in the alley. They were playing basketball and throwing walnuts and rocks at each other. All of the boys are between 10 - 14 years of age. While playing, another boy aged 8 came out of his yard and threw a handful of rocks at the boys in the alley. When this happened, one of the boys picked up one of the rocks and threw it back at the 8 year old. By this time, my son was behind the 8 year old. My son did not throw the rock that hit the boy. The child who did throw the rock later admitted that he did throw it. The 8 year old had to get two stitches along his eyebrow. I have now received a poorly written letter from the mother of the 8 year old, telling me that if I don't pay 1/4 of his hospital bill, she will sue me for his pain and suffering. The boy who admitted throwing the rock has already paid this woman $113.00. Two days after this incident occured, the 8 year old was in the alley again, and threw rocks at my friends van and doing over $600.00 in damage. We live in the state of Pennsylvania. Am I obligated to pay this woman? I feel that paying her says that my son is guilty of hitting her son...and he did not. What do I do about the damage done to my friends van?
