The case of the Meowing boy of PA

[Merika]

JEANNETTE, Pa.

A district judge has been asked to decide whether that word is a harmless taunt or grounds for misdemeanor harassment.

Jeannette police charged a 14-year-old boy for "meowing" whenever he sees his neighbor, 78-year-old Alexandria Carasia.

The boy's family and Carasia do not get along. The boy's mother said the family got rid of its cat after Carasia complained to police that the animal used her flower garden as a litter box.

The boy testified Tuesday that he only meowed at the woman twice. Carasia testified, "Every time he sees me, he meows."

It sounds exactly like something my son would do if someone caused him to lose his beloved dog, or in this case a cat. It seems the judge was equally as baffled what to do with this case and has postponed his ruling for 90 days.
