CPS report: "Unsupervised minor cutting the lawn."

This Anonymous call actually prompted a home visit from CPS. (No, not on a hot tip from the good people of Youtube, I didn't post much video then back then.) It was reported by an "Anonymous caller" that had been there. A home visit was scheduled, and if the sound of that doesn't scare you, well, you need to join SEAL team 6. I explained to the CPS official right off the bat, that the "Anonymous caller" was a petty pain in the ass family member with an ax to grind. Anyone that knows where I live, will know that there is no one "Anonymous" happening by without me personally meeting them. I knew they could not disclose the name, but I gave them the name, and had them add that to the report for future reference. I also let them know that any further harassment from this a-hole and I would most certainly press charges. Especially as this cost me a morning of work. (And yes, I did say A-hole to the CPS person.) The deck on this tractor was non functional, so any grass getting cut by this machine was most likely snapped off clean due to tire spin. Also note how far his feet are from the pedals, stopping or reversing the machine on his own would have been very interesting indeed. Lucky for us, CPS saw this case for what it was, and closed it about a week later, so this story ended well. (Unlike many others you hear and read about.) I was asked several times for the name of the child in question, and refused to give it. (That is one of your your rights.) Just a simple: "I'd rather not, unless this needs to go to court." The CPS official agreed. (Rest assured If they really needed the name, they could get a court order faster than I could finish my coffee, so that was merely a formality.
