Neighbors WWYD

evanzmom11 · March 2013

We had new neighbors move in about a month or so ago. They have 2 kids like 3 and 6. We haven't officially met....just not that kind of neighborhood I guess lol. Anyways the 3 year old little boy is always running away from them. Like they are always chasing him up the street (we live in a culdesac). They're older and over weight so they can't catch him without a fight.

Anyways so my SIL lives downstairs and came up and asked if I noticed that the little boy was jumping on our tramp. We have no idea how long he had been out there. Then we see I guess who is the Dad coming up our drive way to get him. But he's running around the tramp and this guy can't get him and he's way too big to get on the trampoline himself.

Somebody else who lives in the house came out to get him when he couldn't get him down but should I have gone out and offered to jump on the tramp and get him down? I think its weird to grab other people's kids is all.

But now that the kid knows we have a tramp I kind of expect this to happen again lol and what should I do then. I just don't want the kid to get hurt on the tramp either.

How did the kid even get in your yard?

I would talk to the parents. What would happen he got hurt on your trampoline and you didn't even know he was there?

Was the kid in your backyard? It sounds like they didn't know where he was. We're they driving around looking for him? I guess I'm having a hard time picturing how this went down.

I would have offered to help out. It would have been a nice opport

And yeah, I totally would have gone out there. He might have gotten down sooner if some random stranger came out vs. playing "run away" with his dad. Also, it's your property...that would've been a great time to address the situation.

For liability issues I would talk to the parents next time he is in your yard.

We have a fenced yard but there are no gates. so easy to get in.

Yeah, we haven't met them, partially cause as he is chasing his kid he is screaming throughout the neighborhood. Definately if it happens again I will go out there and it will prob

Oh I want to clarify...I did actually go outside...I didn't hide from them lol. They had the other person out there getting him off the tramp and they were apologizing about their kid. I just wasn't sure if I should have offered to try and get him down my
