Negligence: Question 2

Tommy, 12 years old, is riding his bicycle down the street. He is momentarily distracted and does not see his neighbor's dog walking out into the street in front of him. Tommy collides with the dog, causing his neighbor, Bob, to incur thousands of dollars in vet bills. If the neighbor sues Tommy for damages, will the case be governed by the child standard of care or the adult standard of care?
