You are not going to believe this story at all, but here it is:
I have no words to describe this. Perhaps someone can come up with the proper words to describe New York's actions without being banned from DP? Good luck with that.

So how does New York City respond to the lawsuit? By suing the victim's grandmother, charging her with negligence.A little girl from Queens spent a week in the hospital, after severely burning her feet at a New York City playground.
So, why is the city suing her family?
Isabella Kern is 4 years old, and once again feels comfortable playing at Annandale Park in Forest Hills. When she was 1 ½ years old she was at the park with her grandmother, took off her shoes to play in the sprinkler and when she ran toward the slides her bare feet touched the black rubber matting.
"As soon as she had put her feet on this mat, ultimately the second that her feet had touched that ground it immediately melted the skin on her feet," said Chris Kern, Isabella's father.
Isabella spent five days at the Cornell burn unit and couldn't walk for nine days. Her parents are concerned about other kids getting burned on these mats that can reach temperatures of more than 160 degrees, so they sued the city.
