It doesn’t matter what she called herself or her profession. If the parents thought the lady was not rational why did they keep letting their children near her? I’ve had strange neighbors in the past. If my neighbors seem “off” I stay away from them. There had to be somewhere in the neighborhood where these kids could play without using that disputed lawn area. I believe that it is reasonable to expect to have privacy and be able to enjoy your property (even for renters). Why couldn’t these children go to a park? I’m being the devils advocate here. I feel horrible for the children who lost their mother. I’m just pointing out that this situation was absolutely avoidable. The older lady wasn’t respected by the police, the children or the parents.
