BUT
while reading it this line jumped out at me

The distraught parents, who have four daughters, are now suing the supermarket giant for negligence
Now forgive me for being a little naive, but if I'd just lost my child, the last thing I'd want to do is see a laywer about suing - that would surely come AFTER the grieving process, not during?
Smacks of 'ambulance chaser' to me.......

karlo:
"His devastated mother was shopping just yards away when the tragedy happened."

Obviously not supervising the child properly!

trecfive:
Lack of parental guidance, he was swinging on a rail. [-X Sad at the loss of a youngster, but parents are responsable for their kids not the shop. we see it all the time, no don't mean no nowadays.

age:
ambulance chaser???  - you might level that at Rex Makin - I could not possibly comment.......... (but the name will be very familiar to many defendants........)

Didn't really cotton on to what the store was supposed to have done, sounds like a dreadful accident that may happen to any of our kids swinging on any rail, branch, climbing frame etc etc - mine don't get wrapped in cotton wool I'm afraid.

V8MoneyPit:
Mmmm..... first thought.....

Here we go again  :roll: It's never their own fault. Blame must always lie with someone else. Of course, sometimes it does, but all too often the sueing process is assumed to be the way to go. I wonder if there were any outside forces in play to push the family down the legal action route?
