Ex-wife destroys 14-year-old daughter's $2.7k gaming laptop, refuses to reimburse ex-husband's wife who bought it: 'Time for small claims court'

For a ton of people, the most expensive thing they own is their laptop. (Most people in my generation don't own houses and maybe never will). It's an investment that we feel we must make, and a necessary one if we're in school, and if something happens to it it can feel disastrous. They're fragile, important, and expensive… a tricky combination. But what about if someone else breaks it? Are they solely responsible for the damages? Accidents happen. And what if the laptop owner is a kid?

That's the sticky situation one blended family found themselves in when a teenager's mother broke a gifted gaming laptop in an effort to teach her daughter a lesson. Commenters were torn on who was to blame, who should be held responsible for the money, and if this was justified in the first place. Read on for the story and see what you think.
