Stalwart when did you live in Plano? I grew up there and graduated from Plano Sr High in 1977. I left Plano in 1978 when I joined the USAF and settled in East Texas when I got out.
PSHS class of '87. Congratulations on your class' state championship. We got ours ten years after yours... right after the class of '86 got theirs. Rah! Rah! Wildcats!~ hehe
Back on subject... The neighbor calling the police on the kids for playing outside is the problem. I can't believe they made an arrest for child endangerment, even if the mom was not watching the kids play in the street on her block, which she claims she was. If that had been the standard in my day, me and all my mates, and all our moms would have been serial criminals. When we went out the back with our bikes, mom would holler "Be home before dark". That was the standard.
I hope this lady wins her suit and humiliates her rotten neighbor, exposing her for what she is, a no-good busybody. If she had a problem with the kids, why didn't she just walk across the street and speak to the mother? No, instead she calls the cops. She's not just mean spirited, she's a coward. I hope she gets all the ridicule she deserves from the rest of the community.
Whoa... gotta take a breath. Why am I so fuming mad over this?
