A 26-year-old woman from England found herself in a sticky situation with her next-door neighbors, Emily and Ben, and their three kids. Despite her attempts to resolve the issue, she ultimately reported their 13-year-old son to the police for trespassing. Now, she’s facing backlash from her neighbors and even her own family. Did she go too far, or was she simply protecting her property?
