Letters: Teens Are "Skinny Dipping" in Brooklawn

  In the past few weeks, I have that been aware that people, during the early morning hours, were using my backyard pool.

This morning, at 5 a.m., I found four young teenagers in the pool. Although I could have and maybe should have called the police, I did not.

Their response when I asked them what gave them the right to use the pool, they stated others told them they could. I then inquired as to why they thought "other people" who did not live in the house had the right to allow them the use of the pool. In addition, I asked them where their parents thought they were. In bed, of course.

  I then told them to get out of the pool and to let "the others" know that if I ever again find anyone using the pool, I would call the police and have them arrested for trespassing.

  I realize this is a "prank," however the liability to me or any other household where this may be happening is very high.

  Oh, and by the way moms and dads, the girls were naked…

Elena Young, Brooklawn
