Judge Judy - Moore Vs. Bailey

Andrew Boettner -- 23-Apr-2013 04:50:16 pm -- So if I'm driving down the highway and some idiot kid runs in front of my car, dies, and totals my car I'm just supposed to live with that? No f'ing way. I'm suing that family for the damages. Sucks for them that their kid died but that's just natural selection at its finest. Zach Perdomo -- 23-Apr-2013 01:38:12 pm -- *from Reddit* Let's say the exact same thing happened but the girl hadn't been killed. Let's say she hadn't been hurt at all, and the boy's mother was left with a massive bill for both the car and her son's medical expenses and rehabilitation. What happens then? As far as I can see, from what was presented in the video, the girl took the car without permission and through her own actions killed herself, injured the boy and trashed the car. AFAIK it's perfectly legal to leave keys in the car, and perfectly legal to drive on private property at 14. So while I agree that it's not the most sensitive move in the world to sue the mom of the dead girl, I don't think it deserved the response from Judge Judy (whose show I've not seen before). It's terribly unfortunate that the girl died, but as far as I can tell, the whole thing was her own fault. Peter Shierloh -- 23-Apr-2013 01:33:13 pm -- Isn't that what care insurance is for? If it was her child she would be screaming. Kenny Sosinski -- 23-Apr-2013 01:20:09 pm -- But what if the daughter hadn't died? A lawsuit would be totally plausible. Alex Herron -- 23-Apr-2013 01:06:01 pm -- Figures Judge Judy would follow her Emotions over a fair trial, she is a woman after all. Nick Chavez -- 23-Apr-2013 12:45:53 pm -- I can't even fathom suing this woman, this mother who lost their child. Sociopath. Jeff Tavolieri -- 23-Apr-2013 12:26:53 pm -- I don't get it. The girl jumps in the car, takes it without permission of the owner, totals it, and it's the owner's responsibility to pay? ZzAnthony Nguyen -- 23-Apr-2013 12:12:00 pm -- representation or not, this should not have happened.. this is disgusting. James Webb -- 23-Apr-2013 12:08:17 pm -- Judge Judy puts this nut in her place. Connor Spaulding -- 23-Apr-2013 11:59:53 am -- This is disgusting. That woman and her slack-jawed pig of a son deserve to have a whole lot more than the counter-claim taken from them.
