* CourtroomAntic: A whole lot of kids in a courtroom? Bound to happen.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Adult Fear is now a disambig, and this is misuse which boils down to "listing all the scary stuff without context"


* AdultFear: Jake is a FriendToAllChildren yes, and did not deserve to be forced from his home. Still, as an adult, it's impossible not to sympathize with parents who are worried about those children playing on a rather dilapidated, multi-acre lot full of rocks and other hazards. As Alice points out, those same kids are often left alone with a dog and no supervision. This last one results in Millie getting knocked down courtesy of said dog, hitting her head on a rock, and needing emergency treatment for the head injury and a dog bite.

* AdultChild: For a fully grown man, Bud Bildmore is amazingly childish and immature. His wife Charlotte isn't much better.

%%* {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Bud and his company, who want to kick Jake off his property because of the real estate value he'd get if he did. When the incident with the dog happens, he's the first jump on it, as it means that he would have some grounds to get Jake out of the way.

* BigEater: Danny, one of Keegan's friends. There's even a funny scene where he goes to a local diner to alert a local classmate of an emergency meeting at the clubhouse--then stops to shove some of the other kid's food in his face. Danny then doubles back and takes the rest of the food with him.



* CoolTeacher: Keegan's teacher, whose lesson on Civil Rights and Martin Luther King inspire Keegan and the other Jake's Lot kids to take action. She could be considered a downplayed version of a HippieTeacher as well, due to her long hair, peasant-skirt-centric style, and relaxed attitude.
