VIOLATION OF STATUTE BY CHILD

     The rule regarding the measure of care by children applies even when a child may have violated a specific statute. A statute of Ohio requires . . .

Generally, when a statute imposes a specific requirement as this one does, a violation is negligence as a matter of law; however, whether such a violation, if any, by the plaintiff constitutes negligence is an issue of fact to determine by you according to the measure of care applicable to boys or girls as the Court has just instructed you and not by the specific terms of the statute.
