But this is exactly what I was talking about in my last post. People post things like this with no facts to back them up.

Like I say, from looking a the online news daily, I get the impression that people over 55 cause as much trouble as younger people. Another thing that I notice is that many of the younger people who do get in trouble are not Villages residents, but live in surrounding communities such as Lady Lake, Summerfield and Wildwood.

I honestly believe that is a myth that we have a huge problem with young people running amok and causing all kinds of problems.
I tend to agree with you Dr. Winston. People are people and you get good ones and bad ones at every age. And there are many Villagers with various kinds of mental impairment who need the help of family members such as adult kids. If they are available that is.
