[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what it private property or HOA property.  Special needs kid aside, because the 11 and 14 yr old probably didn’t know who personally made the free library if it was on HOA property.  It is the equivalent of a teen knocking over a mailbox.  Which is vandalism and wrong, but it isn’t some heinous act deserving to be banned from something for several years.  I’m sure a large portion of their HOA fee goes toward pool maintenance and usage.  I don’t see how they can legally keep that money and not allow them to utilize services for 7 years.  [/quote]

I had a neighbor who played mailbox baseball with some friends as a teen, turns out it was a federal offense that the government took very seriously. There was a court case, lawyers, and all sorts of fun. I believe it resolved in a plea bargain with a  hefty fine and lots of community service. Don’t mess with mailboxes.[/quote]

So the feds are more reasonable than the HOA?  That's pretty amazing.  [/quote]

I would bet that the amount that the family spent on lawyers and community service was far more then the families cost of not having access to the pool and play ground. And that whole having a juvenile record until your 18 thing. Toss in however his parents punished him and I suspect that a ban from the pool would have been fine. [/quote]

It's not the money.   It's the fact that they are shunning and excluding a child from his own community for 7 years (!)   We don't even treat adult vandals like that.[/quote]
OK, mom, the point is that you didn't show up at the HOA meeting to discuss what your son did, never apologized, refused to compensate for the damage, and then aired this all in the news. You are a PITA and you have taught your kids that getting attention is more important than being a good, kind, considerate person. No HOA would want you. Your child is being excluded from the pool because you have shown no remorse for destroying something that a disabled child built. Shame on you. Shame on you.[/quote]
