LENDING TO A KATAN CHILD CUSTODIANS BORROWING AN ITEM FROM A KATAN SHELICHUS FOR A KATAN DAMAGES CAUSED BY A KATAN

Week 3 Focus: הלואה, שומרים, וקטן שהזיק LENDING TO A KATAN CHILD CUSTODIANS  BORROWING AN ITEM FROM A KATAN SHELICHUS FOR A KATAN DAMAGES CAUSED BY A KATAN

Introduction

Beyond buying and selling, there are other areas of commerce that need to be reassessed when children are involved. Money lending, agency, and torts, don't necessarily fit within the special enactment of Chazal to allow children to engage in commerce, and thus one must consider whether and how these things apply to children.

Points to Ponder

• If someone lent money to a child and the money got lost, must he repay the lender when he grows up? • Can a child be an agent to buy or sell things? • Is a person obligated to pay for damages they caused while they were a child? What if he only caused indirect damage? • If a child stole something, can it be reclaimed from him while he is still a child, or must the victim wait until he reaches adulthood?
