“ages 9 and 6, were riding their motorized scooters in the street”
6?
When have you known reporters to get ANYTHING correct when describing items in a news report? Lots of motorized things a 6 year old could be riding. The 9 yo was probably riding a motorized scooter.
My guess is that a neighbor bought into a nice old folks neighborhood and it’s since flipped to lots of families. Families have kids and kids are the opposite of a nice quiet place. The old grouch now hollers at and calls the cops on everyone. I”ve seen it many times.
Motorized scooters are not legal on public streets, even for an adult. I live on a cul de sac and kids ride around it all day - no one complains and I doubt the police would even bother to answer a call.
I have complained about basketball hoops next to a well-traveled downhill road.
