Best Answer

A minor can't execute a binding contract, sign a complaint or hire an attorney because they don't have legal capacity. For that reason, a guardian must be appointed by the court to act on behalf of the minor in legal matters.

Can you sue for assault if the children were 12 and 13 or can you sue the parents of the offender?

The short answer is no - the long answer is yes, depending on the circumstances. If you sustained injuries, you can sue for punitive damages regardless of the child's age. Parents of the child cannot necessarily sue the parents unless they were negligent in the care or restraint of the child. For example, you cannot sue the parents of the child if they weren't present, however, you can sue the parents if they were present and did nothing to restrain the child from assaulting you.
