New York, Dec 29: The mother of a 2-year-old boy who hurt himself in a playground in Stamford, Connecticut, is suing the city for income she says the toddler is losing because the injury prevents him working as a model, a local newspaper has reported.
The Advocate said Deena Mader filed a claim last week saying she wants compensation for her child Konrad's medical bills, pain and suffering and a "lost wage amount due to his inability to audition or take modeling or commercial jobs while his head heals".
The child, who lives in affluent Greenwich, Connecticut, received stitches after crashing into a railing at the public playground, the paper said on Friday.
Mader said the green-painted railing had sharp edges and blended in with the shrubbery. "A design flaw or oversight at this new playground" was to blame for the injury, she said in her filing.
