Take her to court... Teach them a lesson... End of story

@philosophicalharmonics3470 3 года назад

Yeah, if you just let it go you're sending two messages: 1) that the kid can do bad things and get away with it, and 2) the parents can lie and cover up their kid's wrongdoing and get away with it. -- this is less about punishment and more about grooming people in your community to be upstanding neighbors.

@too-da-loo 3 года назад

It actually costs very little to file in small claims court. Also, finding out she has money is not retribution, it is investigation. Stuff like this is hard.. it is not about forgiveness because the woman is not asking for it.. it is about doing what is right, taking responsibility and ensuring it does not happen again. The money is minor. Knowing that the woman and her child might walk away from this having learned nothing and not done the right thing is hard to accept. Pay the $35 and take her to court.

@Stormy_Dawn 3 года назад

Make him pay for it. This is not this man's responsibility AT ALL. Also, if this guy is low income he could get a waiver & not pay for small claims court, usually.

@nobuenotaco 3 года назад

I think this is really bad advice. He should press charges against the child. The child broke the law and what he did was VERY serious and VERY dangerous. It’s only LUCK that there was merely physical damage as a result of the very dangerous thing the child did. Once charges are pressed against the child, part of having them resolved often times includes restitution that the courts WILL enforce. I would also file in small claims court. It’s cheap to file, usually less than $50, and a day in small claims court is not as heart wrenching as they are making it sound. He will be doing this child and their community a big disservice by letting this go. If the child doesn’t receive any consequences for this type of behavior and thinks it’s acceptable, the next rock he throws into traffic may hit a windshield and cause a head on collision...

@Joss31 3 года назад

Exactly !! It’s the $900 dollars it’s also the behavior of the child. He could kill someone next time doing that and the mom takes no responsibility. Wow

This boy is being taught by the mom that when you break the law, there are no consequences. Bad parenting. She should see this as a gift from the Lord. He is allowing her an opportunity to teach her son a cheap lesson. $900 is nothing compared to where this kid is heading. He is probably begging for her to guide him but its easier and cheaper to let it go. Well, one day this kid will end up in a situation where he can't just walk away. He WILL have to talk to a judge then. My guess is she has never allowed him to suffer consequinces. Thats why he thew the rock in the first place. Parents need to parent.

There’s no expense and heartache and drama with small claims court over $900.

@dgriffinctc3834 3 года назад

Bad advice this time. First, Christians forgive your sin against them, they don't absolve you from responsibility for your actions. Second, in nearly every state, small claims allows you to add your court costs and a fixed rate of interest to the damages so that you're never stuck "paying $100 to sue for $150". Third, you sue her AND her husband with his "great job" so you can then garnish his great wages. Finally, there's another pressure to excerpt. "Ma'am, I'm not only worried about my car, I'm concerned that your son isn't learning about being responsible for his actions. So there are two options. A: You pay for the car and you make sure your son is present and understands he is responsible for this money being lost. B: I sue you in small claims court AND I file charges against your son in juvenile court. Which will it be? "

I think the reason they are saying forget about is 1. In some states the parent is not responsible so you would have to sue the kid. 2. Even if you get a judgement she still might not pay and then you would have to go back to court to garnish their wages. They are just saying the headache, the time, the energy might not be worth it because even if you get a judgement that just means she owes it you still have to find a way to collect.

@dgriffinctc3834 3 года назад

Do they need to be held responsible, no question All they were trying to say is it’s not as easy as it looks and it takes time and stress, and money with no guarantee of a win and I think all they were saying is $900 might not be worth all the stress it will take preparing for court.

If someone else/their children destroys your property, you have every right to ask payment for repairs from them. If they are not able to pay- your emergency fund comes into play. What's bigger is depending on the age of the child throwing the rock that damaged someone's vehicle- a police report should be made. Young vandals should be held accountable. I'm surprised this wasn't discussed.

being forgiven and being absolved of responsibility are two different things. It's unfortunate the mother did not take responsibility for her child's actions but that is why we have courts.

He can place a lien against her house in the amount of the $900. She’ll have to pay him once it’s sold

Horrible advice. Hold them accountantable for their actions..

After finding out whose child it was you should have went to the police and filed a report. The kid thinks it's all right to throw large objects at moving vehicles. This kid could potentially harm someone.

Lol @ the mom saying she can’t afford but going on facebook bragging about how much her husband makes. Mother AND son both need to be taught a lesson, otherwise they won’t be held accountable. They seem like they are use to getting away with this type of behavior.

I haven't read all the comments so this may have been previously mentioned, but why not have the kid take responsibility? He can't pay money perhaps and it doesn't fix the vehicle, but have him do chores at your house until he has "paid back" $900. Wash the car, mow and rake the yard, if there is a garden help there or with livestock. Age appropriate chores of course. Helps to teach consequences and who knows what everyone could learn in the process and how it might better the boy's future.

Very poor advice....filing in small claims is only a few dollars and you can’t get pain and suffering compensation...also you can get a judgement against her and decide not to follow up on collection.....forget her...this could be an important life lesson for her son

I was in a similar situation some years ago, I took them to court. They needed to pay for the damage to my property.

So, their opinion is let the kid continue as he is. 😂😂🤣😂

@raymondares8951 3 года назад

It seems like they all have a "one size fits all" response so I knew their answer before listening to their response. Not everyone has the means to have an emergency fund either but they seem to tell everyone to go out and make more money as if it was that easy. The caller doesn't want drama but if the mother doesn't take responsibility, its not his fault for subsequently taking them to court.

Dave’s answer would have been completely different. Love both of these guys though.

@clairem3543 3 года назад

How about offer the boy “work off” his debt? Snow shoveling? leaf raking? Yard mowing? Or help you collect food for the homeless. As a mom, I would jump at that! Hope it all works out.

How Is that kid going to learn the lesson if we simply forget it? whats stopping him form doing it again?

@kurtusdoss6220 3 года назад

Ive followed dave Ramsey for years and have done his baby steps. Now I listen and watch his show and it's all political which destroys everything it touches.

@kendavis8647 3 года назад

Turn it on insurance and they will go after the person. They have resources to deal with it.

@edb484 3 года назад

Yes but it still affects your rates. My insurance put a lien against the house that hit me in 2010. Insurance did go up some after the years and it’s on my insurance report. The guy and wife still in live the house. I’ll get my deductible back whenever they sell. I’ve been waiting 10 years now lol. I’ll get it back when they die because I don’t see them ever leaving
