Who and how can I sue for my son being stabbed?
My 2 year old was in the play place at McDonald’s playing with the other kids when an older boy about 7 stabbed my baby in the head out of nowhere.
McDonald’s staff were pretty rude, a manager was in the bathroom when I went in to clean my son’s blood covered face and she looked so annoyed that I was in there. She actually sighed that I was in the way. And the manager complained that the employee would have to clean again now. The parents didn’t apologize or even acknowledge my bleeding baby. I have the parents
information from the incident report I asked to file. We had to go to the ER, and he did end up needing stitches. It was a McDonald’s toy that was used.

You can sue the parents of the atacker. Parents of minor children are liable for the criminal acts or other intentional wrongful acts of their children; they are also liable for their own negligence (carelessness) in not properly supervising or monitoring their child.
McDonald's is NOT liable: a person or business is not responsible for someone else's deliberate wrongful act, because they did not cause or command that act and are not obligated to control that person.
