Model, 2, Seeks Lost Wages in Mishap

STAMFORD, Conn. - A 2-year-old model and actor who cut his head at a playground is seeking unspecified lost wages and other compensation from the city.

Konrad Mader of Greenwich was running toward a treehouse at a playground Nov. 4 when he crashed into a railing, according to a claim filed last week by his mother and reported Friday by The Advocate of Stamford. The blond toddler received several stitches.

I can't believe the mother. What she's doing to that child is criminal. It should be considered a form of child labor.

:wow:

seriously.

She's suing b/c the fence was painted green, and therefore blended in with the landscape.

Um...I don't think ANY paint could blend in *that* well.

What happened to kids being kids, getting knocked around and bruised from playing on swingsets and jungle gyms?

This lady is a fruit from the word go.

When I was in 4th grade, I was on a school field trip, playing after lunch, when I was pushed off a plaything by another kid. I fell off and broke my wrist.

Did my mom sue? No. It was an ACCIDENT. Kids push kids. Kids run into fences. Kids get hurt. That's what being a kid is all about. That's what playing is all about.

Perhaps if his career is so thwarted by bruises and 'boo-boo's', she should just keep him locked indoors forever and ever, never letting a nestle settle in his beautiful head </sarcasm>

Or, even better, she should have been keeping a better eye on her kid so she could have warned him "Hey! Look Out! There's a Fence"...

:shaking head in sadness and disbelief:

Quick, someone file a really stupid and frivolous lawsuit that we can use against those muck-raking libs next year.

Why can't the kid do band-aid commercials?
