A 12-year old boy is currently being sued by his aunt for injuries caused to her.

What a horrible Aunt. 12-year-old Sean Tarala , whose mother died last year, appeared confused as he sat with his father, Michael Tarala, in court on Friday, October 9, while aunt Jennifer Connell, 54, (pictured above) testified against him at Connecticut Superior Court in Bridgeport.
The human resources manager from Manhattan is suing her nephew over a leaping greeting from the then-8-year-old that left her with a broken wrist. The woman believes little Sean Tarala, now 12, should have known better than to jump into her arms as a means of welcoming her to his birthday party in 2011.
She is seeking $127,000 in damages for suffering a broken wrist when the two fell to the ground in the rough reception.
The aunt, who has no children of her own, said her life has not been the same since the 50-pound bundle of boyish energy bounded into her open arms.
