I asked a simple question because I'm new and didn't understand the rules of TV yet. I'm sorry I even asked. Good grief, what a strange turn this took!

I'm glad you posted, and I hope you pursue this. I have a place in Silver Lake but I'm not there full time. I do not wish to have full time children in the neighborhood. It's not good for them either. No one to play with and possibly having to stay indoors to not draw attention.

Does this mean you are not going to call the school and get an answer that would end the suspense?

Don't let them run you off, they are a fickle bunch on here!

Children under the age of 19 are not allowed to live here. You have a right to think and say whatever you want to. This is The Villages. We are all grown up.

A few years ago, I had a boy staying at my home until his father could find a place to live. He stayed for six weeks. Yes, I know, over the legal limits but the neighbors were very well aware of his being there and knew it was truly temporary, emergency situation. I took him to Target every morning in my golf cart and then walked to the school with him every day. Ditto after school. As soon as his father could, he took his son. On occasion after that (probably about five times), the boy would spend the night and I'd take him to school (usually when his dad had to get to work extremely early or work late).

The schools don't care if the address is inside or outside of TV, just that it is within their jurisdiction and by that bus stop. So, I'm sure some of the kids at that stop are perfectly legal and probably live somewhere near Griffen Road. The kids on golf carts may or may not be legal. Depends on whether they are actually living in TV (could just be a morning drop off with grands picking kids up after school and then watching them at the kids' homes until the father gets home -- know of a couple instances of this occurring) and, if so, for how long.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. If staying too long, odds are a neighbor will report them.

anybody ever think that maybe the grandparents babysit the children after school while the parents work. then the parents come by the grandparents home after work to retrieve the kids.

parents just maybe use that bus stop to make it eaiser for the grandparents and because of that must drive the kids themselves to the bus stop in the morning.

If you want to play detective, watch and see who picks up the kids at the bus stop in the afternoon.

I'm not pursing this because it's ruffling too many feathers. If someone else wants to, that's ok.

You have a right to ask and pursue the information. If this subject is not brought into the light it could become more pervasive. Don't let the bullies on this board influence you.
If a business does not know of a problem, how can they correct it? Bring this issue into the forefront to the proper authorities. Good luck and I for one would hope you would let us know the outcome.

Good suggestion.......................better than taking photos and posting on the Internet.

I took the photo down. I see what everyone means by bullies now...

Rest assured -----nobody will ---- most people ( not the people on totv :laugh: ) just give advise - weather they know what they are talking about or not --even if you found out why-- some people still will not believe it---- try the kool-aid--- there is never anything bad happening in tv- just read the daily sun --I just love tv - the golf courses - the squares -- the clubs -- the entertainment --etc and i will never move --- just had my kool-aid

I want to thank all those who were kind and thoughtful and had suggestions and answers. (Thanks Gracie!) I just find the bullies comments are outweighing the nice comments. The last batch from Bogie Shooter has done it for me. His comments were rude and unnecessary.

Thanks to TOTV for being helpful and informative. I think I'll go elsewhere for information. This forum isn't what I expected.

I cannot figure this out. I never know when some posters are kidding.

Some people have been positive all of their lives. They try to find the good in stuff. It is easy to do here. And also to get really, really mad. We are all humans and we have things we believe in. Not everyone who lives here is nice, but most have lived long enough to be, well, reasonable.

I like grape. Lotta ice.

No, I do not think taking a picture of a deed restriction potential violator is wrong. It is the same as if someone posted a picture of an overgrown lawn at a vacant house or a junk car in a driveway or (if I was south of 466) the flock of pink flamingos in my front yard. Glad I live north of 466!

Well, I called Community Standards. They can't do anything without an address. Regardless of the circumstance, it's worth investigation. If it's appropriate, that's fine. If it's not, it should be addressed. I'm not in TV right now, so I can do no more. And, yes, I live in Silver Lake so it does matter to me.
