A 15-month-old boy was rushed to a hospital after he was accidentally served alcohol in a kids' meal at a Michigan Applebee’s, MyFoxDetroit.com reports.
Taylor Dill-Reese, the boy’s mother, said her son started acting strangely Friday at the Madison Heights restaurant after drinking from his sippy cup what she thought was apple juice. When Dill-Reese tasted the drink, it turns out it was margarita mix, according to MyFoxDetroit.com.
The boy was taken to the hospital, where he was examined by doctors. The family later learned the boy’s alcohol level was .10 – over the legal limit for an adult driver. The boy was later checked out of the hospital.
"Nobody at the table ordered alcoholic drinks," Dill-Reese told the station. "So, he definitely shouldn't have received one."

Psh. I drank my first beer at the age of 2. Voluntarily. That baby just needs to learn to handle its booze.

Unless they can somehow prove this was done purposefully these parents deserve nothing more than an apology and the hospital bills paid for...

Agreed. Accidents happen and just because they happen, doesn't mean people deserve anything. A small place doesn't need to get sued just because of it.

Can you imagine the world if everyone just sued people to death? Shit happens, and we can condemn people to life in prison, or give them permanent records, but really...suing doesn't do much besides compensate for what...stress? This isn't the situation for suing. As a parent, with my two children, I taste everything that goes into their mouth, at least when they were under 2 years. Parents need to know what their kids are drinking, not the people in restaurants.

Needless to say that it's not unheard of that some people would deliberately change the apple juice for a margerita they snuck in to later claim fat damages in court. Especially in the US where you can initially demand some absolutely ludicrous amount like 46 billion dollars, only to settle for 3.5 million later. Seriously, that always seemed to me like what it would be like when two 4 years olds play fantasy legal system in kindergarten.

They should definitely sue, and go for large punitive damages. They will settle out of court and come out better for it. This is Applebees, not some mom and pop shop. Major corporations don't learn their lesson until large punitive damages are awarded, or threatened in the lawsuit.

Large corporations don't learn shit except they have good lawyers and a big spending budget. It's the stupid young person that served the child alcohol. In order for a business to be a business, they need competent workers and strict regulation. The one idiot that served an alcoholic drink to a child is the fault, not the company. Either that or the parents who just wanted to sue the fuck out of someone like GK suggested. Parents need to regulate what their kids get, not fucking Applebee's.

I agree that parents should regulate what their children intake. That said, your point is irrelevant. The only relevant issue is whether Applebees was negligent in serving alcohol to the minor, as alcohol was ostensibly not ordered.
Suppose Applebees had served food made with peanuts to an allergic person who specifically asked for food not prepared with peanuts. Suppose the child had a disease which rendered him dead as a result of the alcohol. Would either of these events be worthy of a lawsuit?
Finally, the fact that one employee committed the error does not mean shit in terms of torts jurisprudence.

As the child is incapable of regulating his own food/drink, it is in the best interest of the parents to provide healthy food for the child. The company should pay, but so should the individual if you think justice is on the line. The child was not served peanuts, nor allergic to them. The child was not dead as a result. "What is" and "What can be" are not the same thing. You really do *HAVE* to accept that life isn't always perfect or fair, and children do die as a result of neglect. This is not that case, the case is, people served food and drinks and the child received alcohol. This article is neither full in recognition of responsibility or accurate information. Parents should taste/try most foods that their children get, if anyone is responsible for the child winding up in the ER, it's the parents. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Well, you stick to your story, I'll stick to reality. In this reality, Applebees is going to be sued if these people have any sense. I think they were grossly negligent to serve alcohol to a minor, and their lawyers will probably agree with me on the way to a nice settlement for the family.

I guess I can't speak the truth. Poor kid, I agree, but it was NOT fully the Applebee's employee's fault. If you have a child in this life, you need to test their food. We have been doing that for centuries and it saves lives.

I normally would say that they should sue, but this isn't one of those cases. Applebee's should pay for hospital bill and figure out why this happened. Maybe it was a mistake, or maybe it was on purpose. Oddly enough, if they checked ID then this could have been prevented.
