When I was in law school, we read lots of lawnmower cases for torts. You’d think parents would know to keep kids away.

My stepfather was an attorney and I guess he’d read some of those same cases because we were never allowed out on the lawn when he was mowing.

How sad for this little girl and her family.

My father a defense attorney and as such was equally cautious about a great number of things (sometimes obsessively so). His lawnmower reference was about someone who had a piece of wire discharged into his heart from a tractor. That story stuck. I NEVER let our children come out while mowing, EVER.
