No. Unless the child knew the ditch was there before the accident. Even if the child knew about the ditch ,odds are the child would not be guilty of any negligence.

Compare and contrast Contributory negligence and Comparative Negligence?
Contributory negligence is a legal defense that completely bars a plaintiff from recovering damages if they are found to have contributed to their own injury, even minimally. On the other hand, comparative negligence allows a plaintiff to still recover damages even if they are partially responsible for their injury, with the compensation reduced by their degree of fault. Thus, contributory negligence is more strict and less forgiving than comparative negligence.
