This can only be the act of someone who isn't mature enough to be aware of history and the tremendous amount of evil and hurt that this symbol represents. There is absolutely no excuse for such insensitivity to be displayed here in Naperville, or anywhere.
I hope that this family can find it in their hearts to forgive such an ignorant act, and that they can get on with their lives and be able to put this awful gesture behind them. My prayer is that the perpetrator will somehow, someday, come to understand the cruelty and futility of such a despicable act.
