If he's liable for any of this his parents are, too. He's a minor and as such his parents take partial responsibility for his actions, legally. From a less legal perspective, this is an obvious case for "WATCH YOUR FUCKING KIDS". He's 10 years old and was completely unsupervised. The kid should be under house arrest (state mandated grounding) and the parents should be fined $20,000.
I'm not asking for an unreasonable penalty from the child or the parents, only that they're held responsible.
