Whoever enacted this lawsuit against the city of New York is a real “blockhead.”
NEW YORK, N.Y. (New York Daily News) — Twenty-three years after a pint-size kindergarten bully threw a block at Fatima Bowles and permanently injured her eye, she may finally get her day in court.
A Brooklyn judge has ruled that even though more than two decades have passed since Bowles was hurt, she can move ahead with her long-dormant lawsuit against the city.
She gets hit in the eye with a block when she was in kindergarden and she’s suing the city? Why not sue the bully that caused her injuries or even the manufacturer of the block? Those things are practically “Stones for Kids.”
The city tried to get the case dismissed due to inactivity but a judge recently ruled the case can move forward again. Rewarding someone for inactivity? That should only happen in the White House.
The bully in the story could not be located by the Daily News, but if she were to win this case, it could be a bigger victory for victims of bullies since the famed Supreme Court case of “Poindexter vs. Atomic Wedgie.”

Are you friggin’ serious?? If the case was really that frickin’ important, why wasn’t this case settled 23 frickin’ years ago?? F**K that, that needs to be thrown out. On what grounds is she suing the city in the first place??? I love stupid people, they give me something to laugh at.

If I am correct the satute of limitations for minors injured is to allow the child to become an adult to sue on their own behalf, if their parent(s) does not file one for them. Some states allow an adult who was injured as achild to sue 7-10 years after the age of 18. (part 2) the state is responsible for a childs activity just as the parent would be if it happend
at a residence (where were the teachers?; Did he or she fail to prevent it? ; why were 4-5years old left alone?). Did the injury cause scars?. I uderstand everyone view. me peronally i have forgiven childhood injuries (but I am not everyone)

How can anyone sue a city for something one person did to them over 20 years ago. I guess this is up there with the “twinkie defense”

What the hell, she can’t bring the charges. New York’s Statute of Limitations state that for personal injury you have three years to bring the charges.
