Old Woman sues Kid’s parents after football gives mental torture

Parents of a normal playful kid are getting sued by a granny in Ohio for alleged mental torture. Though for first impression looks its a silly case, if you read on you will understand who is really silly .. the kid’s parents or Granny.
An 89-year-old Cincinnati-area woman arrested for confiscating the neighbor kid’s football is now suing the boy’s parents. Edna Jester filed a lawsuit in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court claiming she has suffered emotional distress because footballs and other playthings belonging to her next-door neighbors keep landing in her yard.
In October, Jester refused to return a football, was taken to the Blue Ash police station and charged with petty theft. The prosecutor later dropped the case.
The lawsuit against parents Paul and Kelly Tanis seeks unspecified monetary damages.
Kelly Tanis calls the suit “very silly” but says she and her husband also worry because they have five children and can’t afford a lawyer.

    I say good for granny. If I saw a more positive results from the new anti discipline discipline, I would be all for it… but the kindly granny asked the kids several times to be more carefully with their toys and they completely disrespected her…. These parents are completely off their rockers and I’m wondering if their children are as disrespectful to other ppl as they are to their elder neighbor.
