You don't have enough information to say these kids were on their own tree, and you don't have enough information to know that these were responsible parents, but we were told that they were liable to break the tree. <<

Did anyone here say the kids were in their own tree? The article says that the tree was next door. The point being that she was yelling at somebody else's kids in somebody else's tree. If she was an official member of the tree police, I doubt that she would have got the ticket.

Please not that, the article is careful to say that she got the ticket for scaring the kid. Not for telling his parents that he was a monkey.

Tempest in a teapot really.
