Ed, this about the article about the four kids that were pool hopping in Hamilton. This is absolutely ridiculous. These kids were trespassing, plain and simple. I do not agree with what one of the fathers said: Kids will be kids, they made a mistake. They should be taught at home that you do not to trespass on anyone’s property, and to respect people and their property. It seems like the parents and two of the coaches are upset only because two of the players injured themselves and cannot finish out the season. They should be more upset that the kids were acting more like juvenile delinquents, and they should be held accountable for their actions.

Strictly Forbidden

I think the feeling is more that these kids have learned a lesson the hard way, not that they should be given a free pass for their conduct.—Ed. Note
