If you gave him a reasonable amount of distance for the speed you were doing in which to brake I don't see how it's your fault. Part of driving is being alert to what's going on around you so if something out of the ordinary happens you can avoid running up the back of somebody else. Which I have done and I swear I'm never driving that tired again.
There was one other girl riding with the kid that rear-ended me, and only they really know if they had sufficient time to stop. The problem is, I barely know the other girl, so it does her no good to help me out, and my friend who was driving is the type that can never admit when he's wrong.
When they said "sit down", I stood up.
