July 29, 201412 yr May very well be true...but I think that's where you start the journey in a situation like this. But it is difficult to go back and they already involved Johnny Law.
July 29, 201412 yr But it is difficult to go back and they already involved Johnny Law. Oh yeah, they are past that point now for sure.
July 29, 201412 yr By an 8 or 9 year old? I do understand the point you are bringing up and it is all the more reason why the officer that showed up had his head up you know where. How do I know that he/she is 8 or 9 when the pellets fly?
July 29, 201412 yr How do I know that he/she is 8 or 9 when the pellets fly? Please please please don't ever move close to me. :isurrender:
July 30, 201412 yr Author Also, I would need to know more about the comment of taking the neighbors to court. I suppose they are suggesting some sort of civil action. Or, like I have seen many times, incompetent and/or lazy police officers play the "you can take them to court, you can talk to the prosecutor, you can hire a lawyer, etc. card" far too often. What city is it? It's outside of a city in Boone County
July 30, 201412 yr If someone is shooting at me with an air soft gun in my yard, I will be finding out how hard you have to hit a tree with an air soft gun before it breaks.
July 30, 201412 yr Sonny, I got a second opinion and it was pretty much the same as mine. What you describe is probably Wanton Endangerment 2nd Degree. However, we are speaking in general terms about a specific incident that we (my second opinion and I) did not witness and/or respond to. In other words, we could be missing some essential information in making our decision that the officer present used to make a different decision. If at all possible I would have your relatives approach their neighbor and try to work it out. If not, the correct course of action will probably be to sign a juvenile complaint with the Court Designated Workers (CDW) office. If the CDW won't take the complaint you are stuck going back to the Sheriff's Dept. to plead your case and maybe the county attorney if you are not happy with the Sheriff's Dept.

So punching dad in the mouth isn't the solution? Honestly, if mom was defending this kid's actions then it's not too long until he does something they really need to be concerned about.
July 31, 201412 yr Author Thanks everyone for their suggestions! If I hear anymore about the situation I'll follow up.
July 31, 201412 yr This is exactly why Randy Parker can't have one! They can put someone's eye out. Someone unknown shot me with one when I was a teenager, and I had to dig a pellet out of my upper arm.
