Sending the wrong message to kids

This is to answer Greg Dolder and Susan Stancampiano saying toilet papering is a harmless prank, and they both say Louis Fols needs to lighten up.

This is called trespassing and vandalism. Why are there laws for these so-called harmless pranks?

Greg and Susan need to finally grow up and realize that these kids were breaking a law and they are condoning their actions.

You just showed your kid or kids that it's okay to break a law when really, no matter how small the crime, it's still a crime.

Why didn't you send your kids over to that house to help clean up, show them some honest good faith and sportsmanship, like shaking hands after a game?

Greg and Susan, your attitudes need some adjusting; it's not too late. Obviously, Mr. Fols was bothered by it; how about his feelings?

Susan says it's no big deal and was anyone harmed? Answer to Susan: yes. Mr. Fols was violated. Susan and Greg really don't get it.

It starts off small, and then it grows until someone gets hurt. Kids in our good neighborhood were doing the same prank.

These same so-called "good kids" continued to be bored, and it led them to find more pranks until it damaged a new vehicle. Even then the parents stated, "It's only a little dent and scratch." Finally the kids were cited by the police for the damage and vandalism; the parents were sued for the damage to the vehicle.

Susan, it is a harm and a foul. Wake up. Dan Garcia Simi Valley
