Adrianna TanGerman tourist sued a New York taqueria for salsa that was too spicy. Judge says ‘the spice is often the point’
He should keep this up and keep suing people, he will become American in no time
I hope he never goes to Thailand

Your comment about suing is so sad — and so accurate. Our youngest — almost out of high school now — was bit on the calf (ugly bite) by a small dog on a leash, years ago. We — Mom, Dad, sibs — weren't there at the time (he was bike riding in a local park). The woman at the other end of the leash told our son to wait, she'd put her dog in the car and come back to help him. She never returned. He came home crying and bleeding.
We tried to find the woman so we could get info on...

... the dog's rabies vaccine status — sounds silly (it was a house pet) but that was the local vet school's and our pediatrician's advice. When we couldn't locate the woman, both pediatrician and vet school said to get the rabies vaccine series. That sucked.
Anyway, the nurse at the E.R. asked what happened, and when we told her — and that the woman whose dog it was disappeared, she remarked something like, "Oh, she probably thought you'd sue her."
Next day, when son returned

... to school — must have been 3rd Grade — he was asked about the large bandage on his calf. When he concluded his story, a bunch of his classmates — ~8-9 years old — asked if he was going to sue the lady if we found her. 😳😕

Solitha@RunRichRun Lawsuits are for when someone causes undue harm, and then refuses to take responsibility.
A dog bite can easily fall into that range.
But even if the child provoked the bite, the fact that she *abandoned* the child without any help likely goes beyond, into criminal behavior. A police report would not have been amiss, and if she walked her dog in the area, she probably would have been found.
Have to consider that this might not be the only child she'd done this to.

We went back many times — it's a relatively nearby park. Never saw her or the small white dog who bit. We really only wanted info about the dog's vaccine status so as to avoid the hassle of the rabies vaccines for our son. There was a police report filed – a policeman found our son crying in the park. Legal issues aside, really bad behavior.

@RunRichRun Oh, good to know. I understand what you were going for, but as I later edited in, you also have to wonder if her dog regularly injures people.
I was thinking that the police report would put them on the alert to look for her in a wider area. Sounds like they didn't find her either, sadly. She really needed a hard lesson in decency.
