 Children & criminal damage - CGNorwich
You would normally have to sue the child for negligence not the parents and there is no point in suing a young person who does not have any money. (They might have insurance.)

In theory you can sue a child and wait till they start work to recover the money.

A parent can be held liable for their child’s actions if the parent failed to take reasonable care to see that the child did not cause harm to others.
