It's hard for me to understand someone who would call the police on a kid mowing yards. You hear all these complaints from the older generation about kids these days not knowing the value of hard work or being too "soft" because they spend all their time in front of a screen. This is an example of a young person going out and offering useful manual labor to their neighbors in order to earn money for something they want. It's exactly how kids learn the value of hard work. Who could have a problem with this? I'm glad the police were willing to help him out, but I feel like at least one of his neighbors needs a slap to the face.
I find it hard to believe the police turned up.
"Hello police, there is a kid mowing gardens." Isn't exactly a priority response call.
I doubt the neighbor that called said they were just mowing lawns. More likely along the lines of "suspicious black person has been walking around peoples houses" as they conveniently leave out that they are walking behind a lawn mower.
