It sounds to me like you have a personal problem with the elderly. Try reading the full article in post 88. The brat been harasssing the elderly neighbor for THREE YEARS. His grandparents have his cat so it's not as if it's out of his life with strangers.
And again you bring up a red herring. They got rid of the cat so it is no longer bothering her garden. We are now talking about a kid saying meow to her.
Yup. The 78 yr old can't even go out in her yard without the brat meowing so it's NOT a red herring. She has a right to use her yard without being harassed.
Apparently, you don't believe calling the police because someone says meow to someone is an overreaction.
No I don't think calling the police after 3 years of harassment is overreaction. And the full article states that it's harassment carried out in front of his parents.
No, it is not that apparent. They got rid of the cat because the neighbor complained and SAID it was their cat (probably called the police about that, too), not that they knew for a fact it was their cat.
The Loughners gave the cat to the grandparents so I believe that's admission enough that it was their cat. It IS apparent to everyone else except those who dislike the elderly.
We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I believe this elderly woman is a royal PIA and I'm glad she's not my neighbor. I also think this kid has got mental problems, but I don't think his actions rise to the level of getting the courts involved.
We all have people that we don't get along with, young and old, but I don't believe anyone has a "right" not to be harassed by someone that doesn't like you. Those that are older and wiser should act it.
