Textbooks aren't cheap, nor are computers. If she wants to spoil the brat, she should have the funds to cover his damages....

Not to mention the stress caused by losing all your notes the week before the exam

But the aunt sure is old enough to sue

Dose the matter how old the cousin is, if the aunt is refusing to punish them then she is taking full responsibility for her child's actions and should be made to pay the full cost of the damage done both physical and psychological.

#50, even a four year old should know not to grab someone else's things, run outside with them & throw it in a pool. Especially if it's a heavy something like a backpack.

Obviously why would you sue a 7 year old the responsibility falls on the parent and OP's aunt deserves it for not teaching her child right from wrong

My 4 year old son would never think this is ok. And if he did I'd beat his ass

A 7 year old should know damn well not to throw a backpack into the pool..

Beat his ass like he stole it

You can fix a wet child but not a wet laptop or wet textbooks, sadly.

That depends, can the kid swim?

What an evil sense of humor #26...I like it

put water in her gas tank

#26 Hopefully not

How do you know it's a he? Just wondering...

I was with you until that bit about kissing him on the lips.

#22, do you need an excuse for incest that badly?

Absolutely. He needs his ass beat

The aunt needs her ass beat
