Answer 1

The law can hold Leslie liable for multiple reasons. I believe all except "strict liability" are possible. By failing to supervise her children, they chose to do something they would most likely not do with her around--battering Mrs. Timmons' plants. This was an act of laziness, which lead to negligence.
