Jamie, a 12-year-old child, is playing soccer in a neighborhood park. During the game, she accidentally trips and falls, sustaining an injury. Considering the standard of care in negligence, how should Jamie's age be factored into evaluating her actions?
Jamie's actions should be compared to the standard of care appropriate for her age group.
Jamie's actions should be compared to those of a reasonable 12-year-old with similar experience and intelligence.
Jamie’s actions should be assessed based on the behavior of children her age.
Jamie's actions should be compared to those of a reasonable adult in the same situation.
The correct answer recognizes that the standard of care for children is based on what a reasonable child of similar age, experience, and intelligence would do. This accounts for their developmental stage, distinguishing it from the standard applied to adults.
