10.05. Ordinary Care-Minor-Definition

10.05 Ordinary Care--Minor--Definition A minor is not held to the same standard of conduct as an adult. When I use the words "ordinary care" with respect to the [plaintiff] [defendant] [decedent], I mean that degree of care which a reasonably careful [person] [minor] [child] of the age, mental capacity and experience of the [plaintiff] [defendant] [decedent] would use under circumstances similar to those shown by the evidence. The law does not say how such a [person] [minor] [child] would act under those circumstances. That is for you to decide. [The rule I have just stated also applies when a [minor] [child] is charged with having violated [a statute] [or] [an ordinance].]
