IANS, 31 May, 2017 12:39 PM

    Five-year-old Jacob just happened to accompany his dad to the court. His dad was charged for parking his car in the wrong spot. When the judge spots the little one inside the chambers, he decides to invite him up to his bench.

     

    After a few minutes of friendly chat with Jacob, the judge asks for his help to decide punishment for a traffic violation by his father. He presents him with three choices.

     

     

    "I can fine him $90. I can charge him $30. Or I can charge him with nothing. What do you think I should do?", the judge asks.

     

    What happens next is truly remarkable. The boy's answer surprises the entire court house including the judge himself.

     

    "You're a pretty good judge," he says.

     

    The video already has over 8 million views on Facebook in less than a day. Watch the video to find out what he said.
