The parents of a high school student in Pistoia were ordered to pay 85,000 euros to the family of another student after their daughter pushed the latter, causing her to fall down the stairs and have a head injury, resulting in a long gash from hitting a corner. This marks the second ruling in Tuscany in recent months holding parents accountable for their children’s misbehavior, particularly when injuries to other adolescents are involved, requiring them to compensate for the damages caused. Following a bullying incident in a Florence garden resolved in court last summer—where a family was compelled to compensate a boy who suffered double fractures to both arms after being violently shoved by their son—this new case from Pistoia has now emerged.
