Some men work at night and this woman was alone it seems. If the teenagers had responded to her, maybe she wouldn't have been so scared.

The truth is always somewhere in the middle.

I'm a 58 year old woman who lives alone. I don't go into anxiety attacks when strangers knock on my door. Before I retired, I worked the 3-11 shift, so it's not just men to who work evenings and nights. But we don't know if he was working. It's a possibility, but we don't know if that is where he was because we've never been told his whereabouts at the time of the alleged cookie caper. He could have been home sleeping, or he could have been out bowling with the boys, or with his mistress. We can put him anywhere, but where he was at the time the two girls showed up at his home.

You're claiming the girls didn't respond to this woman based on her claim that she called out. However, we only have her word that she called out. We don't know for sure that she did.

Here's a link to an article on the story:

The article says she called the Sheriff's Dept. and they determined no crime was committed. So instead of accepting that as fact, she has an anxiety attack and has to leave her home and go to her sister's for the night? It also says she was at home with her 18 year old daughter and elderly mother when the girls knocked on her door. No husband mentioned. So where did she leave her mother and daughter when she went to her sister's? Home alone? Or did she drag them out in the middle of the night? We don't know. Then the next day, still being so distraught over it all, she has to go to the hospital? Sorry, but this woman is a whack-job.

No mention is made as to when she discovered the cookies sitting on her porch. Was it right after the girls left? Was it when the Sheriff showed up at her door? And how did she know who to sue since the only info included with the cookies was a message that said: "Have a great night" and signed the T & L Club which stands for Taylor & Lindsey. Perhaps she'd already gotten cookies from them in the past and knew who the T & L Club was.

It also says that the girls left the cookies at nine homes that night, and that they only went to homes that had lights on. None of the other homes they went to that night complained about their cookie delivery.

The article mentions that Young thought it might be burglars or neighbors that she had "tangled with in the past." Burglars don't announce their presence by knocking on your door, so it all comes down to the neighbors she fought with previously. The neighbor problem is also mentioned in the text of the photo of Young posted earlier on this thread. It's obvious that this woman had a confrontation with some of her neighbors, but we don't know what it was over, or who is at fault. But whatever it was, it appears to me that these girls were sued based on the anxiety of Mrs. Young over apparent on-going hostilities with some of her neighbors. Very sad indeed.
