The outline of the offence is as follows. The mother of the boy believes the daughter endangered her son, and wants compensation his medical bills and her car. The car was driven without the permission of the mother and therefor, stolen.

The car wasn't technically stolen imo, because she handed over the keys. If we think of it that way, then both the boy and the girl stole the car and are equally at fault. The mother cannot sue on on the basis of theft if the son was present, since he asked for the keys originally...(unless she wants to cry kidnap, which she probably would, because she's an idiot.)

The boy claims that the mother lets him drive the car sometimes around their property so he says its okay for the girl to drive it. You cannot give permission on behalf of someone else, especially if that person isn't aware of what that is. The girl drives the car when she isn't supposed too.

If I were the defendant I would be suing the f*ck out of the mom and son who gave the girl the keys. I will play the "just because game" and say: Just because the boy drives the car on the property "with permission" does not mean that it is okay for a 14 year old to drive "on the property" and that the car is "not stolen" --> Just because the boy asked for the keys to listen to music does not mean that he is actually going to listen to music and not drive the car--> just because the girl asked for the keys and the boy thought is was okay since he does "on the property", does not mean that the boy should have given her the keys, and that she wouldn't kill her damn self in the process. <-- The lack of this kind of thinking is why she is ultimately at fault.

The defence (Which seemed to be made entirelly up from judge judy) was as follows.
-Shouldn't have left your keys in your car
-What did you think was going to happen.

If I give someone the keys to my house to watch TV it doesn't mean they aren't going to steal all my belongings "with permission" to enter my home. What would I say then? "I didn't give him or her the permission to steal my stuff?"

Sure, I agree that theft is theft regardless if I'm giving the person easy access but this is just bad parental logic.
