Readers respond and comment - Census workers, and OMG

I just got off the phone with my mom.  She's mightily worried.  Seems a friend of hers had a son with Down's Syndrome who called his mom and said he had a troll trapped somewhere and was feeding it skittles.  Friend fled work to go home immediately to find that there was a census employee, a little person, who was misunderstood by this dear disabled young fellow.

I can TOTALLY understand any terror, angst, anger, OMG LET ME OUT feelings of the poor census worker.  The question is this.  What, now, is the penalty for those grown up young man?

Taking everyone's feelings into understanding, and understanding that everyone here is innocent -- what next.  Readers -- PLEASE respond and comment!!!
