Question
Regarding the continuation of the previous question: if four children unlawfully entered a non-Jew's attraction, concerning theft from a non-Jew. My question was whether the theft is on the child who entered the attraction or on the parents who paid.
Answer
Shalom Rav,
If the child is below the age of Bar Mitzvah, the theft is on the parents.
If the child is above the age of Bar Mitzvah, the theft is on him.
As I already wrote in the previous question, according to Halacha, there is no obligation to pay for what was stolen.
