14 year old boy being charged for "Meows"

What law did this kid break?? He didn't go into her yard, he has a perfectly good reason to be in his own yard, and how can they even prove he was "meowing" to her?? Maybe he has some weird form of Tourrets Syndrome.

I think it's a ridiculous law suit.

Also, unless you live away from people, I don't believe in letting cats run loose. Or, at least be outside with the cat.

I tend to agree with you Valerie.If you've ever raised boys, especially
boys around the teen or preteen age, then you know they can be awful
little brats sometimes. Most grow out of it.Heck, who knows maybe her
flower garden is all that brings her joy in life. Let the old woman be and
keep your animals out of her yard & on a leash.when outside.

Yes, on a more serious and more mature note than I posted earlier, I would think that if he knows that it bothers her, he should have stopped doing it. We don't know the whole story---there has to be a lot more to it than is being reported. The old lady might have some kind of mental health disorder that makes it difficult for her to just take this sort of thing lightly. The kid probably has a few problems himself, and he could be doing it in a cruel manner, just to harass her. I am just glad that I am not involved with it personally, and can sit back here and see the humor in it as well as the serious side of it!
