[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All my neighbors are real old and alone. I would never think of calling the county on them. You people are sick. Buy some boots and walk in the snow.[/quote]

This.

More asking “do you need help?”

Less calling and reporting on kids “neglect” (see the Georgia mom story), or potentially elderly neighbors not taking care of lawns or sidewalks. And people are advised not to shovel after age 50. They might even have money for your teen to shovel it, if you would only ask.[/quote]

Don't ask, just do it.  I made it clear to my teen that they would not take money to shovel to help someone out as those same people he's helping have helpd us in the past.  And, one day it may be us needing the help.  I told him what houses to do and he did it.[/quote]

If they genuinely need help, you are giving to them. If they are just lazy, they will probably be ashamed when they realize someone else did it for them. If they have no shame, and you've confronted them without improvement, then report them.[b] Snitching should not be the first step[/b].

This is DCUM. Snitching is ALWAYS the recommended first step. [/quote]
