All mothers will take the opportunity good weather offers, and use it to get the kids out of the house. But this one mother found out that allowing that luxury can sometimes come with legal fees… seriously. Like, being ticketed and everything.

Vancouver mother Jana D’Addabbo let her three sons play outside in the ever improving weather, as would be expected. What she wasn’t expecting was to find herself with an official warning from the city. It seems that a number of her neighbors ended up complaining that her sons were being too loud, and now she’s facing a ticket.

Kids will be kids, especially as the weather changes and they can finally get themselves out of their cooped up homes. And this seems like a terrible example of neighbors trying to force their ideals on children who are just trying to enjoy the outdoors. Who really cares if a kid is a little loud on a nice spring afternoon? Learn more about the case, and how she’s trying to fight it.
