You want to know what depths society has sunk to? how 'bout suing two teenagers for over $900 because they left you some homemade cookies? Not a joke, my friends. I just can't believe that not only was the woman so ill-mannered as to refuse the girls' apologies and offers to pay he medical costs, but the judge actually sided with this rude presumptuous jerk!
Now, for those of you who would like to find this: the girls, Taylor Ostergaard and Lindsey Jo Zellitti delivered the cookies in the town of Durango, Colorado to several neighbors including Wanita Renea Young, who sued the girls after they delivered the cookies at 10:30 pm. The girls delivered only to houses with lights on inside. They had begun baking after chores were finished at dusk, approximately 9 pm. The judge who handed down the [asinine] ruling was Judge Doug Walker.
Incidentally in some of the googled sites I found, one of the girls is on her high school basketball team and raises livestock.
Sounds like a real hell-raiser to me.

"If this frivolous judicial mishap bothers anyone reading this commment as much as it does me, write a letter to the following address(the office which appointes the judge) expressing your concerns and desire that the (inept, incompetent, immoral, unprincipled) judge in this case be stripped of his positon. The precedent this ruling represents is completely inconsistent with the moral values and ideal of samaritanship that we should be instilling in our children.

"Apparently, you can send the girls a donation via the address listed in this thread:
"or contact one of the local news agencies in that area, I's sure they can forward the donation."
