my teenager was ticketed for trespassing
Last night he and his friends walked home from the movies by cutting through his old grade school's ball field. They've done it for years with no problem.

It was 9:40 PM. Some cops pulled over and gave them tickets. Now I have to take a day off from work and bring mine to court next month.

2. Tell the judge they thought it was a safer route for that time of night.



It seems like every few days I read in the paper or hear on the news about pedos cruising around in their cars through residential neighborhoods looking for kids to pick up.

3. I don't know much about trespassing laws...
but isn't a grade school public property?

If not, isn't it up the the school to press charges?
