[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]

If you knew anything about criminal law and the system then you wouldn't have made that statement and you would understand that Adult vandals would most certainly would be treat like that and probably would be prohibited from entering a victims property for life, not to mention jail time.  Come to our court and just watch the sentences on these types of cases and you will see.  I think the HOA should just give this to the court and let them deal with it.  [/quote]
