But McGlaughn did get permission from the parents in advance. And he said he has his reasons for encouraging the kids like this.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As long as they&#8217;re doing this, they&#8217;re not getting into trouble doing something else,&#8221; McGlaughn said. &#8220;I haven&#8217;t seen any types of drugs or alcohol involved. You know, I think they&#8217;re spending all their money on toilet paper.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The kids have definitely taken to the prank war.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just think it&#8217;s good clean fun for everyone, and it&#8217;s been great for our whole town, the police department and everybody,&#8221; one student said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Heflin&#8217;s toilet paper war has so tickled the town that businesses are now offering support by putting out free toilet paper. And the kids are taking care of the ensuing mess in their own unique way, by selling insurance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They call it the Toilet Paper Rapid Response Team,&#8221; McGlaughn said. &#8220;So if you buy their insurance and your yard gets rolled, the youth group will come clean it up for you &#8230; So you can buy protection.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s worth it, McGlaughn said, because this has been fun for everyone, including him. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m just rallying everybody,&#8221; McGlaughn said as he prepared to toilet paper another home. &#8220;That way we can hit the next house. It looks beautiful from down there.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list
