Moving into more detail he was playing some games on the street and in one moment threw a stone and accidentally broke the front window of my car. It was a very serious crash

after
this
unpleasant accident. I hope it was an accident and the boy didn't do it on purpose. I don't want to cause you additional problems, but unfortunately, you will have to pay for your son's damages. I have already checked how much the new windows does it cost. It will be 400$ for the window and
