I let a kid use my PlayStation Portable and he dropped it.  Should his parents help pay the repair bill?

Absolutely! If that kid broke his game, then his parents should be taking responsibility for paying for getting it fixed or even replacing it.

It depends on the child, when mine are 13 or 14, if they are responsible enough to handle keeping track of the minutes, and text messages, or maybe work to pay some of the bill, I would be happy to get them one.  Plus I would like them to have it for emergencies, or for me to be able to get ahold of them if they miss curfew.  However, if they are getting bad grades in school, sneaking out, getting caught drinking or any other misbehaving acts, I see no reason why I should reward them with cell phone. \n\n Perhaps it would help convince your mother if you explain to her the good reasons you should have one, like getting stranded somewhere, her being able to contact you easily when you are out with friends etc. And prove to her that you are responsible enough to handle one by showing her good grades, and other things you have been doing well.

No you shouldn't...You should only sue if there is a monetary loss in my opinion.  Too many people are quick to sue because they see it as easy money.  I'm glad to know that your son wasn't hurt!

Most stores require a "restitution" payment, regardless of the criminal outcome of the case. Whatever they charge, someone has to pay. I suggest you pay it and have your son work to pay you back in some way.

you could do a system restore if you can find that and restore to a point before your nephew messed your computer up.

I just bought one for my soon-to-be Step-Son (STBSS) ... ;-)\n\nHe loves it and it's seriously coolio.  They are FRAGILE though ... drop it on the sidewalk and it's hosed.\n\nThe graphics and games are great and the controls are way more "thumb-friendly" than the Gameboy things ... It also serves as an MP3 player and Lord only knows what else.\n\nIf you have a teenager at home, you'll forever be the best person on the planet if you get them one.  It's like crack for teenagers !  LOL.\n\nSeriously, it's a solid game device and it will be around for a while.  Don't drop it ... remember, they are fragile.  There's a lot of punch in that little box !\n\nIf you're thinking about getting one, look on e-bay ... I saved at least $100 there on mine.

I wouldn't say anything unless I was asked.  You could drop a few hints to your parents, like you want an iPod too, or something to that effect.  That way it takes the monkey off your back and puts it on them.  You still have your relationship with your bother, he's in trouble, and all is well again.

Yes but just make it payable to cash. And then the minor can go to the bank with his or her guardian and get cash for it.\n\nIts the easiest to do.

If he is in preschool...buy him a PS2. He's not going to be aware of the difference. Those are about $150 or less.

swears she never had problems with it? theres your answer. you got scammed buddy. i suggest you throw it out tha window. theres no hope. you could buy a brand new one for cheaper than what it will cost you for the computer nerds to fix.

maybe give it to someone if it hadn't been opened. i don't really have time for games and stuff.

Sure thing, contact State Child Support Services, they'll track him down and make him pay.

First see if the kid is really your kid and if so sorry but your going to have to pay!

Best bet is to throw it away and get a new one. \n\nTry bringing it to a place like Best Buy. then maybe they can save the data.

Ok i am not sure who "he" is but if it is your brother or son it would be good to get him an iPod, that way he can have music where ever he goes.  Yugioh  are pretty easy to pick up but sit and think what he wants the most has he expressed great desire to get Yugioh Dawn of Destiny or does he yearn for a iPod more.  \n\nThe Yugioh Dawn of Destinay may be cheaper then a iPod if you are on a tight budget but is it possible to layby? (layaway)\n\nGood luck and whatever you decide I hope he likes it.
