Neighbor vs. Neighbor: Shut Your Kids Up!

N.Y. Couple Taken to Court Because Daughters Made Too Much Noise in the Pool

And expectant mother Laurann Webb, who already has a toddler, said parents needed to monitor their kids' behavior.

"All children need some sort of discipline, and they have to learn how to respect people around them," Webb said.

Neighbors on both sides said they couldn't believe the dispute ended up in court, calling it "blown out of proportion."

After the case was dismissed Wednesday night, the Poczateks said they'd try to be better neighbors.

"I don't feel they were noisy — kids are kids, you know, but we will try to keep them quieter," William said.

But he said that Chloe and Ashley would be back in the pool as soon as the sun shone.

The neighbors will be listening.

"Maybe after all this they'll get the picture. I hope so. Nobody wants any of this," Mark Kostackis said.
