MAPLE HEIGHTS, Ohio -- A 12-year-old Ohio boy's summer vacation was anything but exciting until someone called police on him for doing his job.
Reginald Field started a business cutting grass for his neighbors, but his service at one customer's house resulted in a 911 call.
Fields said everything was going fine until his customer's neighbors called the police, claiming the teen had mowed part of their lawn.
"They said I was cutting their grass," he said. "I didn't know it."
The neighbor told authorities that the teen and his crew had cut a portion of their property and were in their yard.
Fields said he became discouraged after the incident, but then the customer decided to post about the incident on Facebook.
The post received thousands of views and hundreds of shares, and with it, a business boom.
Now, Fields is receiving a lot of support and requests from new clients.
"Just give me a call," he said. "I will be there. On time."

Sorry....The kid should have found out himself before he began cutting from the people whose lawn he is supposed to cut. He’s not a little kid chasing a ball. He’s destroying property.
You must be the jerk who called the cops.

Sacajaweau, you are usually so wise. Are you hung over? Did you hit your head on your push mower?
Do you really think that cutting a little grass is "destroying property"?
*******
A little rest may be prescribed for you. Go back to bed.
I am totally serious. My brother and I always checked if we had a doubt.....that was in the 50’s.
He’s destroying property.** sacaj. Not being derogatory, just stating a fact.. You may be a meat head IE: Dead from the neck up... nothing was destroyed, it will grow back. You are probably one of those HOA aholes that drive around the neighborhood measuring lawn height, looking for campers left in the front yard more than 24 hours and untrimmed bushes. smh

You need to work on your sarcasm that or don’t dare go outside today as its summer and snowflakes don’t last long under the summer sun.

. no doubt.
yes, yes ..........
And just how, and in what liberal, progressive, snowflake channeling world, does that necessitate an emergency response via a 911 call?
Some folk's bung holes are so tight that you couldn't drive a rail spike up 'em with a sledge hammer.
In a sane world, the land owner would simply confront the kid and tell him, severely, if he must, where the property line is.
But no, snowflake gotta run to the damned 911 and scream like the little rat poop dimocrat he obviously is.
What the hell is wrong with this country?
The kid is clearly a RACIST! He’s taking jobs from undocumented workers of Hispanic descent!
This reminds me of something my granny once told me.
When I was just a toddler I thought it would be fun to watch her cut the grass.
Well, that didn’t sit well with her.
In order to discourage me from such activity she told me she once knew a little boy who was watching his father cut the grass. Suddenly, the blade came off the mower, whirled through the air and chopped that little boy’s head off.
I found something else entertaining to do.

LOL.... tell that to my wife of 45 years.
I got up four hours ago, she was up even earlier.... and went back to bed when I arrived.
YOI.
At least I am not married to Hillary.
Exactly. Calling the police for that should warrant a ticket to the caller for making an improper 911 police call.
Reality...A professional landscaper would ask where the line is. The kid should have done the same. I'm a kid....I didn't know....doesn't work after age 7.
lol
Amazing, isn't it? Around these parts, the real story is that a teen actually got off his *ss and started his own business.
Bes t response., ask him to finish your yard. if you dont like the height hes mowing Im sure he would raise or lower his mower. This kid needs to be encouraged, not badgered about making a mistake.. did he jump a fence with his mower? He’s 12 and qorking his butt off for the summer. give him a cold lemonade and make friends.
