“WIBTA For Planting Prickly Bushes In My Front Yard To Keep The Neighbors’ Kids From My Property?”

It’s impossible to get along with everyone. That’s why we build fences. But the house Reddit user Cactusloverforever had rented didn’t have any. So when their neighbors’ kids started running amok, it became a problem. The two boys repeatedly trespassed onto their property, ringing the doorbell, playing in the yard, and causing all sorts of chaos. After several requests to stop, including speaking to the parents, the issue persisted. To protect their space and sanity, the neighbor planted a thorny wall of bushes, but the situation only worsened.

I'm a Visual Editor for Bored Panda. I’m also an analog collage artist. My love for images and experience in layering goes well with both creating collages by hand and working with digital images as an Editor. When I’m not using my kitchen area as an art studio I also do various experiments making my own cosmetics or brewing kombucha. When I’m not at home you would most definitely find me attending a concert or walking my dog.

Ref a comment: Denmark here. Kids are taught boundaries. For instance, many schools don't even have a fence, and kids don't escape. It's not a thing to accept that a private property becomes public for kids. These are just bad parents.
