Lots of failure here.
Lots of loss of common sense.
Please read. Then I’ll touch on the failures.
Info: large suburban neighborhood we live in. Thousands of homes. The OP is an Indian mom(family). Our city is now 40% Indian. Ugg… anyway..
This the copied HOA post:

This is scary. I was home and I am so glad but it happened so quickly. My 18 year old daughter opened the door to a young guy knocking on the door saying his football fell in our backyard and for her to check she went to check and came back and told him it wasn't there and he asked if he can look himself and she let him in the door and he checked and came back and asked if he could use the bathroom and then asked her to come and see why the faucet wasn't working and when she went into the bathroom he went for her neck and she pushed him off and screamed and told him to get out and I was napping and before I could come out with all the noise he ran out the door. Please be careful and don't open the door to anyone even if they are young looking.
Edit: This is on( edited out)dr. If any of you on the street have a camera that could have captured him, please call the non emergency line and report with the photos and video. It will help them make sure this doesn't happen to anyone.
Edit 2: We got clear videos of him from a couple neighbors. It has been sent to the police. He was wearing all black with the hood over his head. It happened between 2.43 and 2.49 pm today. After watching a few videos i think he has some mental health issues or he may be on the spectrum or like he wasn't fully here. Not sure if his intentions were to really hurt or steal or it was just impulsive. Since my daughter didn't interact with him long enough to know if was on the spectrum, many times young adults can be very high functioning and act impulsively like that. So I really hope he gets the help he needs. Thank you everyone concerned about us.

More info:
- cops are called
-Victim/ mom post you read above share a security cam footage inside house of their living room/kitchen area with 18yr daugher escorting perp thru the house!
- neighbors share cam pics from their houses of perp.
- same perp tried it at another home day before but that homeowner kid didnt open door.
- cops catch the perp. He is known local who is possibly invloved in several robberies in our hood.
My take:
Never open a door to a stranger, or for Gods sake let them in the house !!
W T F !!!
Mom & daughter are lucky to be alive.
So much failure here. All common sense went out the window on that scenario.
This could have been so tragic for them.
I have used this to remind our neighborhood of common sense precautions and awareness. Be self aware of surroundings for the kids walking home.
