It's a Little Thing I Like to Call...
...
...Personal Responsibility.

And I quote:
"We all know that walking and texting is a tough combination -- but a Staten Island teen learned the hard way when she fell into an uncovered sewer manhole while trying to send a message.
Now, the family of Alexa Longueira, 15, intends to sue.
The girl suffered a fright and some scrapes on her arms back after she dropped into the hole on Victory Boulevard."
Seriously? What if she'd walked into traffic while texting and been hit by a car, would they sue the driver? What if she'd been driving and texting and hit someone else, would they sue the pedestrian? Does texting somehow relieve one of their own resposibility to their personal safety or the safety of others?
I think not.
Here's a crazy thought for her sue happy mom. Ground your kid from her phone for not using it responsibly and safely instead of blaming someone else for your kids mistake. While you're at it, be glad she didn't get herself killed because she couldn't be bothered to pay attention to what she was doing.
