‍ Protecting my home from intruders with unexpected consequences

Living in a neighborhood with children can be a lot of fun, but when those children start to invade your privacy and potentially harm your loved ones, drastic action is necessary. In this case, a homeowner had to take matters into their own hands when their neighbor’s children repeatedly tried to break into their home. Despite attempts to communicate with the mother, the situation escalated until the homeowner felt the only solution was to use their dogs to scare off the intruders. The outcome was unexpected and had consequences that the homeowner could never have predicted. But was this action justified? The AITA post raises important questions about the limits of self-defense and the responsibility of parents to control their children’s behavior.
