Aunt Sues 12-Year-Old Nephew for $127,000 Over a Hug Gone Wrong
In a bizarre twist of events, a New York aunt took legal action against her own nephew for an incident that occurred when he was just eight years old. Jennifer Lane, 54, claims that during an exuberant birthday greeting, her nephew, Timmy, jumped into her arms with such enthusiasm that he accidentally caused her wrist to break. Fast forward four years, and Timmy, now 12, found himself facing his aunt in court.
The Incident
Lane described the heartwarming moment when Timmy shouted, “Auntie Jen! Auntie Jen! I love you!” before launching himself at her. However, she decided to wait until after the tragic passing of Timmy’s mother last year to pursue legal action, feeling the need for compensation for the pain and suffering she has endured since the incident.
The Legal Battle
She argued that the injury has made daily activities challenging, like climbing to her third-floor apartment and even holding a plate of snacks at parties. According to reports, Timmy sat in the courtroom looking a bit bewildered by the whole situation. In her testimony, Lane expressed her love for her nephew but insisted he needed to face the consequences of his actions, demanding a hefty $127,000 in damages.
The Verdict
Fortunately, after just 40 minutes of deliberation, a jury dismissed Lane’s lawsuit. One has to wonder what kind of lawyer even took on this case. This aunt is now facing public scrutiny, and she’ll likely be remembered as the one who sued her grieving nephew over an innocent hug.
