Children are seldom made defendants in actions for negligence. Most of the discussions as to the standard of care required of children are to be found in cases where the children, or their parents or representatives, were plaintiffs seeking to recover for damage to the children alleged to be caused by defendant’s negligence, and where the defendant contended that the action was barred by the contributory negligence of the child. A good discussion where defendant was an infant may be found in Briese v. Maechtle, 146 Wis. 89.
