The defense is not intended to claim contrib on the part of the one year old. It's intended to claim contrib on the part of the other plaintiffs, adults, who were present at the time of the raid.

Should the defense have excluded the baby from a contrib affirmative defense paragraph? Technically yes, the baby was not negligent, BUT technically no, defense counsel doesn't have to exclude specific plaintiffs from affirmative defenses for notice pleading.

Did you even read the defense? The defense specifically said "Plaintiffs," which be a catchall to include the parents of the minor bringing suit. It did not say, the "minor plaintiff's actions.....," C'mon man.
