A Jester that's not funny?

yeah I love how the mother says "she has taken balls from my kids before" Sorry... having a ball kicked into her yard over and over and her refusing to return them is not TAKING a ball from your kids. maybe you should teach your kids to KNOCK IT OFF.

I know accidents happen. I have certainly accidently hit a ball over my neighbors fence during my childhood... but I had to go to the door and politely ask if I may retrieve my ball and if they said no it would be tough tooty for me (not that any of my neighbors said no but still... my mom would have said "Oh well... should have been more careful")

Indeed. I could understand the parents being upset if the kid had only lost that one ball over the fence and the old lady was just being mean but from the sounds of it the kids had been pestering her garden for quite a while.
Buy another ball and go play somplace else I say. Besides what is a kid who is old enough to have a job doing playing around another persons yard anyway?

They finally dropped the charges on this lady. It shouldn't have even
come to that if police had used good judgement in the first place.IMO.

Anyhoo, seems she's become a hero of sorts.
