I WANT THEM GONE!

!!! I live in a neighborhood full of kids - and their parents are young, on drugs, and don’t care what they do or who they make mad, yet are very protective of them. The kids range from 2 to maybe 8. They play in our yard, break our sprinkler heads (yes, the parents are aware and just say sorry), they climb in our trees and spy at us through our windows. They walk in our garage and touch our stuff… make our dog bark. Today they found a stray kitten I’ve been taking care of IN MY YARD and tried to take it. Luckily I have it back but they scared the mom off and now I’m going to have to take it to the SPCA or something. The parents KNOW about their kids… But they are driving me INSANE. What do i do?

If it is possible i’d leave that neighborhood. If your desperate try and find an apartment or something, i’d be better than living in that crumby neighborhood.

Talk to the kids..there just kids. They don’t no the difference from right and wrong, because of there parents. Its sad about the parents. But i wouldnt report them. Those kids need each other..and if authorities dont think its suitable then they may split the kids up. That is the WORST thing you could do. There young, just remember that. Take a breath, and talk to them on there level.

Get some good blinds so they can’t see in your windows.
