Possibly more to this story, one would think. A 15-year old eighth grader? His mother posting online that he’s a “sweet boy”, and referring to him as a “child”? Quite a few rather snotty young folks running around these days, and I can see someone reaching their limit. Ten bucks says this was not their first ‘encounter’, and that the sweet children had previously traipsed across her property and caused some kind of damage. (Note: I am speaking from the experience of an actual, 13-year old, eighth grader who was once shot at —a shotgun at long range— for trespassing. “Get the Hell off my property!”, then BOOM. One more shot was added as we high-tailed it out of there. The story was shared with my friend’s father, who simply responded “Well, don’t trespass and you won’t have that kind of problem!” We could only agree.)
The right move is to call law enforcement and let them handle it.
For boys who like to fish, a stocked body of water is very tempting. Mine usually found someone in the neighborhood and asked permission if anyone said anything to him.
The video gives the impression that she thought she was teaching them a lesson about trespassing. But she took it too far.
