EN BANC.

BANKS, Justice, for the Court:

This appeal represents the consolidation of three cases wherein we are asked to revisit and overrule our decision in Hewlett v. George, 68 Miss. 703, 9 So. 885 (Miss. 1891),1 adopting the doctrine of parental immunity for negligent injury to children. We accept the invitation, abolish the doctrine and, consequently reverse the judgments entered in favor of defendants.

I.
