Parents of Kids Who Trashed A House Threatened to Sue the Victim

Nobody likes people who act entitled, but this story takes entitlement to a whole new level. Brian Holloway, an NFL player, once owned a vacation property. About 300 neighborhood teenagers broke into the vacant home over the 2013 Labor Day weekend to have a party. They damaged property by roughly $20,000 worth.

Being teenagers, they planned and publicized a large portion of the party on social media. In particular, they posted photos of themselves inside the house. Therefore, Holloway did what any person attempting to figure out who vandalized his home would do: he located the youngsters using the photos they took to help the authorities identify them. He uploaded them on his own website and requested assistance in locating the offenders.

In the end, he gathered 170 tweets and images. Some of the children's parents were offended by this, and some of them even threatened to sue Holloway for publishing their children's images of themselves committing crimes on social media for all to see. Numerous teenagers were ultimately charged, and there is no evidence that the parents' claims ever materialized.
