Woman Sues 12-Year-Old Nephew for $127,000 After He Gave Her a Hug

Connell’s lawyer William Beckery told the newspaper that Connell took no pleasure in suing her nephew, but believed that he “should have known better.”

Sean’s lawyer, Thomas Noniewicz, said what everyone else was thinking: “Kids should be kids. He was an 8-year-old boy being an 8-year-old boy… Sean was not negligent.”
