tl;dr; Two little girls twisted a swing up, chain broke, police charged them
Olivia and Brooke Huss, 10 and 12 respectively, were found not guilty on charges of criminal mischief after Springdale police charged them with breaking a swing at a borough park while playing with friends.
In court documents, copies of which were supplied to TribLive by the girls’ mother, Katie Huss, police accused the girls of breaking a chain on a swing set with “malicious intent.”
District Judge Michael Girardi on Aug. 20 found the girls not guilty, but not before they had to appear for two hearings on the charges.
Even with the acquittal, they might not be out of the woods yet. Katie Huss said borough officials have vowed to file a civil complaint in the matter to recover the cost of repairing the swing.

These are problems of masculinity gone wrong, says Ben Vasiliou, author of the new book Better Man: Reclaiming masculinity for good. Vasiliou, the chief executive of The Man Cave, which runs healthy masculinity workshops for teenage boys, points a finger at "outdated, rigid stereotypes" — "toxic norms" that tell men to be tough and stoic, squash down pain and fear, never show softness or weakness, never ask for help.
Better Man is Vasiliou's contribution to what has become an urgent, if noisy, conversation about what it means to be a man, and at what cost (Vasiliou himself paid a heavy price for suppressing his true self; he recounts the deep shame and despair he suffered before coming out as gay in his late 20s, when he was married with two children).
