This old hag sounds like a waste of carbon.

Tanis brought the law into this first when she had her neighbor arrested instead of telling her kids that it was their fault for leaving their stuff in their neighbors yard. Pull the dogs tail you better watch out for the teeth. The lawsuit was silly, but so was having their neighbor haled into jail.

Kelly Tanis calls the suit "very silly" but says she and her husband also worry because they have five children and can't afford a lawyer.

Then teach your kids to stay off other people's property, it's that simple.

It really irks me that parents today just let their kids run wild and neglect to teach them such things as basic manners, respect for other people's property and how to behave in public such as at a restaurant.

I'm not saying my kids are perfect, but they stay off the neighbors lawns and out of their yards, will ring the doorbell and ASK to retrieve something if it's flown into their yards, and don't run around restaurants raising all kinds of hell while other people are trying to eat in peace.

I mean geez, what the hell is this world coming to when parents instill in their kids that they can act with impunity then harass an old lady because their own kids don't know how to behave?

No wonder this country voted for Obama. (heavy sigh....)

If something lands in your yard, it’s yours, yet Barney Fife hauls you in anyway.

Cops and lawyers are out of control.

Oh good grief. I usually side with the poor little old person, but this is stupid. If she doesn't want everything that goes with living in a neighborhood, then she needs to buy some acreage and put her a trailer out there. With a couple of pit bulls an surveillance cameras.

Crotchety old bee atch.

Woman, 89, who kept boy's football, sues parents

At 89 she needs to take responsibilty for her life and stop blaming her parents

[skr]

Since she didn’t take the football from the neighbor’s possession, she didn’t commit petty theft. I’d be suing the police department for false arrest and putting up a sign warning that any unauthorized items from the neighbors would be turned over to either the police or to a charity, if permission wasn’t courteously requested for retrieval.

[Kimmers]

Sounds like a wake up call for mom and dad. They may have a cranky neighbor because she is tired of their kids not respecting her property....

IMO these parents need to teach their kids respect for other people and their property.

It is too bad it all had to come to this.....

[Carley]

No different than the dumbass judge who sued the dry cleaner because his pants came back late.

[Kevmo]

So the lady is filing a civil lawsuit but she’s committing a crime. All they need to do is press charges. And countersue...

[Tijeras_Slim]

It’s probably a much deeper seated issue... the biddy is still ticked Knute Rockne never called her after that one night stand in Kokomo.

[CindyDawg]

Several times a month the boy next door will ring the doorbell asking to get his ball that went over the fence. It doesn’t bother me at all. I’m not a Mr. Wilson. That said, the momma brought this upon herself by calling the cops on the old lady.

Morons of a feather, flock together. They deserve each other.

What happened to REAL neighbors?

[mkjessup]

The Tanis family needs to contact that guy with the Fox Urine in his super-squirter water gun, I’ll bet he could make the old bat see things their way.

[TigersEye]

LOL Perfect pic for the story.

[Clock King]

Are cops so g-d damn stupid that they just follow the law like Nazis?! Sick of hearing this garbage!
