I am a lawyer in CT. Generally, it depends on the circumstances. Who was watching the child? how old is the child? In CT, there is a statute that says that the parent is responsible for the childrens's intentional acts that cause damages to persons or property. However, it shouldnt matter is a statute is on point as the parent is usually responsible for supervision their kid. If the parent was not properly supervising the kid, the parent should be responsible. I would have to know more details about the supervision and the who was in charge to help guide you more.
