Not so much anymore but when my stepkids were young their friends would knock on the door at 10, 10:30 at night wanting to no if they could come out and play. I would say, "They've been in bed asleep for the past couple of hours. That's exactly where you should be, now go home." This would happen on school nights! DD, now 11, tells her friends that she can't have company or phone calls after 8pm.

If their tearing up stuff, go talk to P.D. during the day, ask them to feel free to park in front of your house at down times, folks doing things illegal, seem to have scanners and disapear when you call it in when it happens, seems the more presence the less problems, but no way can they be everywhere. We've solved many upcoming probs, by talking to the parents, some of who you may know if you've lived in the area a long time, a lot of times just walking up to the kids and talking to them will run them off if they know someone is keeping an eye out....
Yep we were careful w/parents, they knew everyone, and you always got caught !!!! Good Luck :)

I wonder if they are sneaking out at night and maybe the parents don't have a clue. next time you see them call the police AND call child services. Sounds like the park is close to you, if it were me, I'd walk over there with my camera ready for a night shot and snap their picture then send it in to the local newspaper.

Not sure if any of you heard about the rioting that was going on in a part of Belfast this week. Children as young as 8 were throwing stones and other missiles at the police. One child was at the riot with his grandfather. What chance is there?

It is so sad when this happens. I got tired of seeing kids running around my neighborhood with no parents so I decided to chat with them. They are starved for attention for the most part. Now when I'm outside we'll often have an "explore my garden" moment. I'll drag out magnifying glasses, microscope equipment, collection jars, etc. and we'll "play". Their parents never check on them during the 2-3 hours they stay (all I can say to that is WOW, my kids were never that unsupervised).
I'm not sure how happy mom's are when all those bugs we collected and identified come home but the kids learn a lot. :XD:

It Sounds like they were not ready for the committment of a family. The parents probably grew up just like their children are growing up, now...no one cares about them & what they do at any time of the day or night! How WRONG!!! What it comes down to is...God is not included in their daily lives but, God does send his Guardian Angels to look after each of us! He does care & Loves us!

You'd be surprised that the principal's kids, policeman's kids, school board member's kids,businessman's or the pastor's kids are the ones that will stand up and call you every name in the book if you say anything they don't want to hear. It's usually not the under educated, wrong side of the tracks parents that raise the low lifes.
