Stockholm -- A Swedish boy who caused smoke and water damage to a home when he was 9-years-old has been ordered to pay $276,000 in damages.

The Stockholm boy, who is now 11, set fire to some paper in a house he was visiting two years ago and the flames spread throughout the building, The Local reported Friday.

The family's insurance company covered the damage and sued the boy to get the funds back.

A court in Stockholm ruled the boy is responsible for the fine and it cannot be collected from other family members.
