| Oct 1, 2022 at 9:54 | comment | added | nvoigt | @Someone While a kid below the age of 7 can buy something, if it is more expensive than the kids allowance, the parents have the right to cancel that deal, give back whatever was bought and get the money back. While a single donut is probably below the actual allowance and not really refundable once eaten anyway, if the kid buys an expensive box of fancy donuts and not eats them immediately, the parents can give the box back and must get their money back, undoing their childs "contract" of buying them. | |

| Sep 30, 2022 at 8:47 | comment | added | Jörg W Mittag | @JonathanReez: Juvenile criminal records are in many jurisdictions automatically sealed and sometimes also automatically expunged, because we assume that mistakes one makes as a kid should not necessarily define ones whole life. (A friend of mine was a prosecutor right out of law school and often remarked that he feels really bad prosecuting young adults for the exact same things he did just 10 years prior and which, had they been prosecuted, would have prevented him from becoming a prosecutor. He was an amazing prosecutor and is an amazing judge and law professor now, by the way.) | |
