[EDITOR'S NOTE: This case is unpublished as indicated by the issuing court.] MEMORANDUM OF DECISION The defendant, Nirrael Montalvan, Jr., exercised the degree of care which children of similar age (7), experience and judgment would reasonably be expected to use under the circumstances of this case. The defendant, Gladys Montalvan, exercised the care that an ordinarily prudent person would have used under the circumstances. Consequently, the court finds in favor of both of these defendants.
The plaintiff, Vanessa Micci, incurred medically related bills as a consequence of this incident in the amount of $1,132.60 and lost wages in the amount of $900.00.

Total Award $ 17,032.00
