In a time when you constantly hear about teenagers getting into trouble with the law, I find it truly sad to read about some crusty old biddy who feels its necessary to sue these two teenage girls who simply wanted to do something nice for their neighbors.
You couldn't resolve this without taking them to court? I'm sure a conversation pointing out that the girls needed to consider all possible consequences of their actions (regardless of how good their intentions were) would have sufficed. Their parents agreed to pay for the medical expenses, after all.
What incentive do kids today have for being neighborly and respectful when someone does something like this? Unbelievable.
Lady, you should be ashamed of yourself.
