That is the question that lingers in her mind after she woke up Tuesday night to banging on her door. King’s doorbell camera capturing a boy kicking at her door.
“My elderly mother is here and the first thing I thought was she’s fallen,” King said. “We needed to see what was going on, and my daughter looked at the Ring camera, and she said that’s not what happened. She showed me the video, and I said, ‘You have got to be kidding.'”
The incident not only broke King’s screen door, but it also has her worried for the future of the children involved, whom she said she doesn’t even know
“You have some homeowners that are armed and the first thing they’ll do is shoot, and the next thing you know, this would have been a different interview,” King said.

King said the youth need positive activities to occupy their time, because if not, they will continue to make terrible decisions.
