Neighbors say the man was fed up with children trampling his lawn on their way to and from school. His solution? Stringing up a live electric barrier right along the sidewalk, complete with warning signs. Parents quickly voiced concern, saying it puts kids at risk, while others argued it’s his property and his right to protect it.
Police were eventually called to review the setup and ensure it met safety codes. Videos and photos of the unusual “lawn defense system” have since gone viral, igniting a heated debate online: is this an over-the-top move, or the ultimate way to keep kids off the grass?
