ok, as much as I agree that she knew the neighbors, and the neighborhood seems very very safe at 10:30 even in my parents neighborhood if you left something on my porch that I didnt let you borrow, or ask for.....or stay till I opened the door... I would be pretty pissed and if I saw you I would probably have gone to get their parents. I know 10:30 isnt LATE by any means, but they KNEW the lady was elderly and to most people that have families and the elderly 10:30 is late. This shows very little thought and responsibility on the girls half and even LESS responsibility and supervision on the parents half. Even now if I leave the house.. I cant get to the car without my Mom or Dad opening the door or their bedroom window to ask where Im going.. or if theyre asleep, I get a phone call because they heard the door open. I dont know that I agree the punishment fits the crime, but the girls should have known better. There are people in my parents neighborhood that I wouldnt even bother after about 8pm. I know their intentions were good, but they knew the lady was elderly, and 10:30 isnt late but by 9pm most business are closed and in rural areas by 9 damn near everything is shut down.. so they should have known.
