مسؤولية الأبوين عن أفعال أبنائهم القصّر

أعيش في بناية في حي النهضة بدبي، وقد كسر أحدهم زجاج الباب قبل ثلاثة أيام.

يقول صاحب البناية والأمن أن ابني كان على مقربة من الباب وأنه قد كُسر بسببه.

ويقولون أن عليّ دفع ثمن الزجاج وإلا سيحيلوا الأمر إلى المحكمة.

يبلغ ابني 6 سنوات من العمر، وأود أن أعرف ما إذا كنت مسؤولًا عن دفع تعويض عن الضرر الذي لحق بالزجاج.

The parent or the guardian has vicarious liability over the minor child for any damages or detriment made by him, whether with an intention or in negligence.

If the damages can be proven, you are liable to reimburse your landlord for the damages.

As I understand, for that liability, the kid's age should be above 10 years. Is it true?

No. It is about who would be liable to pay the damages.

As he is your child, under your custody and responsibility of supervision, you are liable for the damages.

My 6-year-old son was standing far from the window when the incident happened and according to the police, his hand is moving so they concluded it is him.

My son is only 6 years old and the glass is toughened one so I doubt how 6-year kid can break the toughened glass.

According to you should I pay the compensation they are asking or should I challenge the police report and go ahead with a case?
