Not reading the letter but the article says it's anonymous. Do they know who wrote it? Must be a small group of people in hearing range of the family, right?
I bet they figure it out. And good for them for going public! The neighbourhood comes together, the family finds they have support, and children of the letter-writer will hopefully see that haters are the unwanted people on the block.
There are a lot of home layouts that arrange all the back yards facing inward, toward each other if not directly gridded together. If the boy yells a lot there could easily be a dozen households that can hear him.
Yeah, I was thinking about a dozen. I bet most of them are expressing their support of the family. And the ones who don't... I imagine the family who got the letter already knows who gives them stick-eye whenever they cross paths.
yeah, easily. I live in a suburban neighborhood and there are probably about a 10 homes or so where I probably could hear a child yelling in their own yard, and I live near the end of the street so on one side of me there is only one other house.
It isn't very loud, but when the wind is right and my windows are open I can hear kids playing outside at the daycare center a couple of blocks away.
