Children held responsible for exploding toys Two children, aged 11 and 8 respectively, were ordered by a Shanghai court to pay 18,570 yuan (US $ 2,240) for the medical expenses of a 3-year-old girl who was wounded while playing with fireworks, reports Xinmin Evening News.
The three children are all from migrant worker families and live in the same building in Pudong. On February 4, 2003, the girl was given a bag of 200 fireworks to play with by her mother. But the two boys ignited the toys with lighters, causing the fireworks to explode in the girl's face. The court ruled that while the girl's parents failed to supervise their daughter, the boys should take responsibility for the accident. In my opinion, I think you will get successful if you dress in the latex corsets, really!
