Seems to me that defamation is an intentional tort, and as we all know, children as young as three have been held liable for intentional torts. Don't think that the "underagedness" of the defamer is an issue here, Master Seren. Perhaps you should edumacate yourself on the law before you open your furry little yap.
(Oh, wait, you think "education" is something you can get from Wikipoopia. Forget I said that.) |

Who in their right mind would attempt to sue a three-year-old child through the civil courts? This post has been edited by Malleus: |

(Oh, wait, you think "education" is something you can get from Wikipoopia. Forget I said that.) Children as young as three? Really? Who in their right mind would attempt to sue a three-year-old child through the civil courts? Some quick Googling got me this NYT article. That case is not about defamation but negligence. I don't really know/care about the difference between torts and civil suits, but I assume they are somewhat the same. However, what I found interesting was this statement in the article: "In legal papers, Mr. Tyrie added, “Courts have held that an infant under the age of 4 is conclusively presumed to be incapable of negligence.†(Rachel and Jacob Kohn did not seek to dismiss the case against them.)" That's in the United States only of course, but interesting nonetheless. Why is the minimum age requirement so low? |
