Mother Sues Town After Child Steps In Dog Dropping
Conn. Woman Claims Entire Day Was Ruined When Her Toddler Stepped In Dog Feces
NORWALK, Conn. (AP) ― A New York woman has filed a $100 claim against Norwalk, Conn. saying a family outing to the Maritime Aquarium was ruined by dog feces.

The woman claims her child's shoes, along with the entire outing, were ruined when her 1-year-old stepped in dog feces outside the Maritime Garage.

City attorney M. Jeffry Spahr said the official response is that her claim is denied and, in his words, "poop happens."

Kelly DeBrocky of Mahopac, N.Y., wants the city to reimburse her for $54 she spent replacing her toddler's ruined shoes and the expenses for parking and aquarium admission on April 5.

Can we have $1K+ fines for wasting the court's time, yet?

I wonder if the stupid *^)(&*%$ has ever heard of soap and water?

I wonder if her brat has ever blown a diaper and gotten crap somewhere in her house where it's not supposed to be? Whom does she sue then?

I JUST STEPPED IN DOG POOP! I'M GOING TO SUE!

Oh, wait. It was Mason's poop. I was cleaning up the back yard. And if there's one great truism in the American legal system, it's that you shouldn't sue poor people, including yourself.

The town of Londonderry, NH owes me a FORTUNE.

On a related note, the closest I have ever come to shooting an unsuspecting stranger with a paintball marker was due to the same issue.

Conn. Woman Claims Entire Day Was Ruined When Her Toddler Stepped In Dog Feces

I think there is a typo there. It looks like they added an extra "n" in the first word.

I think Mike Irwin got it right in saying has she ever heard of soap and water.

Ruined shoes? What, her washers broke?

I'm surprised she only spent $54 on his shoes instead of buying him a $150 pair of Nike's.

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #10 on:** May 10, 2008, 06:22:14 PM »

Why is she spending 54 bucks on shoes, anyway? For a toddler?

Declaration Day · « **Reply #11 on:** May 10, 2008, 06:37:44 PM »

The $54 was for the shoes, parking, and admission to the aquarium.

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #12 on:** May 10, 2008, 06:46:19 PM »

She's suing for 100 bucks, so I think the fifty-four just covers the shoes.

Declaration Day · « **Reply #13 on:** May 10, 2008, 06:55:08 PM »

If so, that's ridiculous. I wouldn't think of spending more than $30 for a pair for me. My kids are limited to $20. But then, anyone who would bring a lawsuit for such a petty amount of cash probably has little if any fiscal responsibility / understanding.

Ben · « **Reply #14 on:** May 10, 2008, 06:57:02 PM »

Seriously, who buys $54 shoes for a one year old? How long do they fit, like a couple of months?

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #15 on:** May 10, 2008, 06:57:28 PM »

My kicks are about 160, which is more than I've ever paid for a pair of boots. But I expect them to last a few years. Of course, I bought those a few years ago, before I became dirt poor.

Honestly, Ben, I suspect there are a lot of people paying that much. I mean, you got have your kid wearing Sean John and Abercrombie, right?

wmenorr67 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 10, 2008, 08:09:18 PM »

Kudos on at least letting a 1 year old walk. But she should have at least been watching where the child did walk. Like to see the area in which the child stepped in it. Was it covered in feces or was there just one large pile, and she was too stupid to lead her child away?

SomeKid · « **Reply #17 on:** May 10, 2008, 09:54:28 PM »

I tend to drop about $50 for a pair. Generally steel toed boots. Which I then make last until they are quite literally falling off my feet.

Josh Aston · « **Reply #18 on:** May 10, 2008, 09:58:01 PM »

I don't get why she's only sueing for $100. The emotional trauma caused by her day being ruined should be worth at least a couple million, right?

wmenorr67 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 10, 2008, 10:02:16 PM »

It is for the children.

MicroBalrog · « **Reply #20 on:** May 10, 2008, 11:15:34 PM »

WTF.

$54 shoes?

The ones I am wearing now cost me $40, and half of that was shipping.

wmenorr67 · « **Reply #21 on:** May 10, 2008, 11:18:06 PM »

Hell the boots that I am wearing right now cost me nothing. Of course they are tan in color and the tax payers paid $74.34 for them.

Ah, she only lives in Norwalk. If it said "Greenwich Woman" they would have been the $150 Nikes. grin

How soon before they fall apart?

wmenorr67 · « **Reply #24 on:** May 11, 2008, 02:21:24 AM »

The ones I am currently wearing are a year and a half old. Started wearing them end of November of 07 and wore them almost everyday during my last deployment and train up for this one. Started rotating boots everyday once I got to Iraq this time. So from Nov 07 to Feb 08 they were my everyday boots.

Still going strong. The only issue is broken laces.
