BB: Can’t Kids Have Fun W/O SOS?

Bayview Bob (re: Deputies check out Hauser Lake SOS): It makes me wonder about people these days, when they can't see kids enjoying life without thinking it is a crisis. Where did they come from where they would think kids sitting on a log was a emergency? On the other hand they were concerned, so that is a plus I guess.

Question: Do you think the concerned citizen over-reacted when s/he saw the three boys sitting on a log in the middle of Hauser Lake? Are people too quick to call the cops today?
