Today, my neighbor showed me footage of my 7-year-old son spraying his beloved rose garden with weed killer. The whole garden is dead as fuck, and I'm now being taken to small claims court. FML

How would a 7 year old get access to weed killer?

He's 7. He should know right from wrong and to stay out of other people's property. Rose gardens aren't cheap and the neighbor probably spent a lot of time on it. I'd be pissed too, 7 year old or not.

Plot twist: Neighbor bought the weed killer, thinking it was going to only kill the weeds not the roses. After realizing, in fact it destroys everything around it. See's 7-year-old, asks the child to help with the garden, gives the child the weed killer, casually taping while smirking, so he doesn't pay for his mistake.

I think this kid took practical jokes too far, but if this kid isn't smart enough to know who he's messing with and what he's messing with, he's probably not as smart as you try make all 7 year olds seem. Plus with all the time it took to do this no one bothered to check on him, and that's concerning if he's constantly misbehaving like this. I think in end everyone has a valid point, but it's all in the eye of the beholder.

why did the neighbor just sit and record instead of stopping him? Who's really at fault here

Probably has some security camera system around his house.

There are these nifty things called security camera's. They show film footage, so chances are OP's neighbor had one.

I want to know why the neighbor just stood there and filmed it! He deserves to have his garden destroyed if he didn't want to do anything about it ?

He didn't have to be "standing right there", it could very easily be security camera footage.

I'm sorry but as a gardener... CONTROL YOUR CHILDREN.

Well, I'm assuming that the garden was most likely more than halfway dead by the time the neighbour spotted the kid, and he probably got there right in time to take physical evidence of the act at the very least so it would be easier for him to provide proof in court.

I get that the child is 7, but I also agree with the neighbor taking the case to court, as OP's story says, the WHOLE garden was ruined, not just a few flowers. On top of the monetary costs of what the kid did, and the killing of all the bushes, there's also the possibility of health implications if the neighbor is allergic to the chemicals.

Well your 7 year old was able to find weed killer....and you left him alone long enough to not only find said weed killer, but then to go spray it all over your neighbors stuff. I'm gonna say this is your fault.
