The answer

Those who have suffered harm have the right to demand compensation from the perpetrator, for "there is no harm nor reciprocal harming," and "harm must be removed." And whoever damages something from people's property, whether intentionally or by mistake, must guarantee it. The fact that the one who caused the damage is a minor does not prevent the necessity of guaranteeing it for him; rather, the right remains his responsibility. If no mutual agreement is reached, then the competent authorities are the arbiter in the dispute.
