"Aunt tries to sue her 12 year old nephew for hugging her". The case failed in court. It can only happen in the USA! (or can it).

Jennifer Connell, who claimed the 8-year-old boy was negligent when he jumped in her arms, knocked her down and broke her wrist, testified last week the injury made it hard for her to hold a plate of hors d’oeuvres.
At least one juror wrinkled her nose at that explanation.
“We just didn’t think the boy was negligent,” said the juror, who declined to be identified as she left the courthouse.
It only took 20 minutes Tuesday for six Superior Court jurors to decide Connell, 54, deserved zero in her civil claim against the boy.
The lawsuit Cornell filed in 2013 sought $127,000 in damages from Sean Tarala, now 12. He was the only defendant named. His father, Michael, accompanied him to court. His mother, Lisa, died last year. (Connecticut Post 13 Oct

$127,000, That's a lot of pocket money. I hope she has to pay the court costs

Frankly its a shame he didn't kill him .
