Weird Fact

Did you know that in Canada it is possible to sue a 7-year-old?

I'm taking an intro to law class and last night we learned that 7 years old is, legally speaking, considered the age of reason. This means that if charges are brought against a 7 year old, the judge has to decide whether the brat actually understands the difference between right and wrong, and that there are consequences for his (or her, I suppose) actions. If the judge decides the kid is competent, off to trial he goes.

Anyone with kids approaching this age (you know who you are) should remember this.
