A 6 year old little girl may soon be evicted from the only home she has ever known, from the retirement house of her grandparents. She may be evicted because she is not old enough. The bylaws of the retirement community clearly say that the minimum age to live the the community is 55 years.

In other words, this little beautiful girl may be evicted because she has a very old problem.

Today Show broke the story this morning. This story is going on already for five years. The homeowner's association president says he is just trying to enforce the policies. The eviction notice may come anytime soon.

The grandparents had at some point agreed to move from the retirement community because of the above mention bylaws. However, by the time they got ready to move, the housing market collapsed and they could not sell their house.

The grandparents had decided to sell the house so the 6 year old granddaughter is not evicted. They were asking $225,000 dollars for the house. Currently, they have lowered the house price to $129,000. Still, now one buys the house.

The 6 year old girl's name is Kimberly. Her mother has lost child's custody 4 years ago. The grandfather says "we want to leave this community, as soon as I can sell this house."

Now they are afraid that the 6 year old girl may be evicted and that the state workers may put her in foster care. The NBC reporter puts the question in a good way: why would you split this family in the hope of reuniting them again. What if Kimberly's parents can't sell the house for 5 years?

Her grandmother says that is not an option. She can't imagine this happening. "She is our little girl. We are the only parents she knows," says Kimberly's grandmother cleaning her tears.

Now everyone agrees that they are in violation of the retirement community's bylaws. Yet, it is the judge that will decide if this 6 year old girl will be evicted or no, or what is the legally moral solution for this story.
