Uhm? A+1
The “neighbor” would have a series of unexplained, bizarre, and tragic accidents occurring on or about their property if it was me.
The kid should have been provided a key for the house. But felony charges?? One day my sons teacher sent him on the bus home on the wrong day instead of to after school day care. My son new it was the wrong day but she sent him anyway. We weren’t home so he went to our neighbors house and called us. Seriously wtf these things happen.
The nosey neighbor should be put in the public stocks with about 6 bushels of rotten tomatoes nearby. When this case is settled, the family should move or the neighbor will be snooping on them 24/7 and turning them in at every chance.
Apparently the neighbor thinks an eleven year old needs to be kept on a leash.
Welcome to the new Amerika where your neighbors are informants to the STASSI local police. I know which direction I'd place "front toward enemy" (if I had any of course)
Used to be that a neighbour would tell the boy if he needed anything before his folks got home, all he had to do is ask. Then offer him something to eat and check the odd time to make sure he’s ok.
The parents could have been involved in an accident, or had a sudden illness or emergency. A good neighbour would consider that and be helpful.
THESE things need to be rejected and fought
I don't care if there IS a frikkin' law ..... somewhere along the line the fascists must be stopped .....
Let THEM hit a brick wall.
My parents would have been in prison long ago if that same PC had existed in my childhood.
If it had been this way in the 70’s my parents would be serving eight consecutive life sentences.
From the article:
“He had no bathroom, but the responding officer found our yard good enough to relieve himself in while our son sat in a police car alone.”
The police state has no respect for private property.
Good grief. At 11 myself and the kid who lived across the highway would spend hours wandering through the woods, shooting at water snakes in the swamp with our bb guns from up on the railroad tracks, and bombing minnows in a small creek with cherry bombs. We’d head back at mid-day for dinner and then go back out for more exploring, all by ourselves!
We were also allowed to have firecracker fights and even go in the back yard and shoot at blue jays circling the persimmon tree with my .410. Enough to give a liberal a heart attack.
Where in Florida did this happen?
Of course the “neighbor” is a Left Wing Nutcase who should be “educated” by the other neighbors through constant dead end phone calls, garbage at the front door, rotten eggs thrown on the side of the house, etc.
Felony?
If this is to be the case, then the government must publish clear laws. The laws must state the length of time for each age that constitutes felony neglect.
For example
Age 11, 45 minutes
Age 12, 75 minutes
Age 13, 120 minutes
Does that mean that letting a 13 year old walk down to the 7/11 will get you thrown in jail? How about walking to a neighbor’s house? And how long a walk constitutes a crime?
The end goal is taking control of children’s minds and actions, while leaving financial responsiblity in the hands of the parents.
My parents used to leave me at home all weekend while they went gambling, drinking, and smoking meth.
But that was okay because they were Democrats. :-/
Just a guess-
Neighbor hears kids playing basketball in the yard next door. Pissed about the noise. Goes to ask them to be quiet. No parents. Kids play for another hour or so. Pissed off neighbor calls police and says kids are unsupervised.
Or something.
