To the Editor:

Marylyn McLaughlin’s letter regarding the treatment of her family by the local police departments made me smile (“Tarnished Feeling,” 9/23). I have owned a home on LBI since 1996 and have been coming here with my family since I was an infant. I have also raised a son to be accountable for his own actions and in turn he is raising his three sons the same way.
