I heard a similar story about a Villager's single child who was a soldier and got killed. The grandparents got custody of the single parent's child who was around 7 or 8. They tried appealing the situation but were told they had to move out of The Villages.

Sounds harsh - but rules are rules. Their neighbors did not buy in The Villages to be next door to children. If you would allow one child who may be extremely well-mannered to stay permanently with grandparents, how would the board justify the same situation with a very loud and ill-mannered child?
