Family fed up with motorists urinating in view of backyard

STAHLSTOWN, Pa. -- A local mom is fed up. She said people are pulling over on the turnpike right near her yard and using the grass as a bathroom.

She said it's happening in plain view of not only her kids but everyone else.

"I just want it to my kids being outside their yard and not seeing stuff like that," she said.

The woman said she's caught many people in the act, even taking pictures of them to send to police. But they said there's not much they can do about it.

6 News reached out to the turnpike commission Thursday and never heard back. But according to a letter the commission sent the family, there's not much that's going to happen. It said the section of roadway behind the family's Stahlstown house was a pull-off that's already been removed, and it's up to police to enforce.

A wire fence is the only thing standing between the family with four young kids and the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Every day they deal with loud trucks, garbage in their yard and people relieving themselves. "They don't care. They don't even try to hide it," said Crystal King.

King said she and her fiance have let the weeds grow as high as they can but told 6 News that nothing stops the view. And she had pictures to prove to it.

"I've got a picture of a lady with her butt hanging out and she looked at me, smiled, and waved when I took her picture," King said. Kind said she has been dealing with the problem for the past three years, but her father-in-law, who owns the property, said it's been a problem since he moved in nearly 50 years ago.

If it was too much of a problem they could have planted some evergreen trees 50 years ago

And white people doing the peeing. Go figure.

I have, on a number of occasions, posted fast food remains through the letter box of my local MPs constitutional office.

Political protest gone mad!

I have to say, I really wouldn't like to live in an area that passing motorists considered a public outdoor lavatory, it's not exactly sanitary.

I wouldn't accept a view of a highway at my house.

I can't defend it but he's an odious little Crook.

Yes, but they could build a fence made of wood or something, instead of a chain link one. They seem to be homeowners, so this could have been thought of when they bought it.

I had a woodchuck problem in the 'back fields'. I shot 5 invading skunks and tossed them down the woodchuck holes...7 years no woodchucks. The possibilities are endless....

I am not sure it's a question that would occur to me when looking at property, 'has this area been or is by common consent an outdoor toilet?'

A fence would of course hide what's happening but, it's shocking to me that it is happening, period. No area is that bad that people should conclude that it's a toilet, that's just pathetic. (I know the use of pathetic is problematic for some, let me be clear, I think that people who pull over to the side of the road, drop their pants and pee in full public view are pathetic, not the person I am quoting)
