If the parents were watching the child throw stones at cars and not stopping her could they be made liable? I merely ask the question. I don't have an answer I'm afraid.
Maybe You could get your grandchild to ride their bike in a wobbly manner on the pavement near their parked car unt they pay up.Wink

Some info here. Dunno if that helps or not.

Why would you automatically believe what the parents said the police said?

Call them yourself, bet they say the parents are liable.
