What should i do?

My neighbor was mowing his lawn today and shot a rock into our glass storm door and it shattered. I didn't know it at the time I was gone part of the day. I didn't find out until i saw my 13 month old son playing in the glass. I don't know if i should say anything to my neighbor. I know that they know they broke the glass. I don't want them to replace the window or anything I just want them to know we have a child and to be more careful. What do you think?

    Hey.. You are the best example of a good neighbour arround the world. now a days we can not find any such person who will not shout on the neighbhour for doing anything wrong. but as you are a smart and educated, you had shown your concern of mankind and insted of shouting up on him, you just had asked us to help out. First of all, I tell everybody to learn from you that how to treat with your neighbours.

    Well, as for your seek, I think, if that person is also good and not intentionally made this action and that is just an accident may be he can appologise if he knew that. If he is a bad person, or his activities are not so good as a gentelman, then he may be knowing this matter as it may sounds up when a stone flew to your window glass. If he is a nice gentelman, and due to the sound of his machine he may not realise that its had such action there, when you see him, just say him that your child had holded a glass on his hand and GOD save him by hurting more, so he may ask you whats the matter, then you can say him that story. if he is a good person. immidiatly he pledge you sorry and will visit your place to check and see the baby. if he is a bad person, then he can not appolojoice insted he may skipp the matter by saying this and that... so when he reacts like any stupid one, then warn him about such misbehaves should not repeat as for your childs safety and for you well. I hope you would understood that how to solve the matter easyly. Thanking you...

    ALL the Best and GOD Bless You...

    How is someone supposed to be careful about NOT running over rocks with a lawn mower? If the grass is thick, maybe he didn't see it. Rocks show up in odd places.

    Unless the rock you're speaking of was HUGE that you think he would of saw it...

    My family has had 2 different incidents with rocks. We never throw rocks in our yard either. We would be mowing it like usual & suddenly we hit a rock that wasn't there before. The rocks always just broke our mowers though.

    I have seen cases like this all the time on Judge Judy, etc. I know it sounds dumb.. but there is nothing you can do about it. There is no proof that your neighbor did it even though it is 100% sure he did. If it was my door.. my situation, I would say NOTHING. I am sure that he knows what he did. I really do not think it would be worth it to create neighborly problems.

    this dosen't add up to me. You weren't there but you know your neighbor did it while mowing the lawn? Anyways I doubt they even know that happened. Its pretty loud when you are cutting the lawn and stuff flys around a lot.

    first and foremost at least your son wasn'hurt!

    you should arrange a come over and let your

    neighbors know that you dont expect for them to

    repay this ,but your childs safety has no cost.

    just be resonable and ask if they can be more cautious

    about your childs safety.and if it helps any

    remember "THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOR".

    GOOD LUCK

    I would definitely mention it. Your child is your first priority. Since you aren't asking them to pay for the damage, the have absolutely nothing to be mad about.

    first i would confront them. for one it is their responsibility to replace it, 2nd it is very dangerous because of your son. what if he would have swallowed a piece. if they know already that just makes them a bad person for not stepping up. so yes confront them and try to have them pay for it

    I wouldn't ask them to pay for it and talk to them about my child and his safety
