Aggravated robbery.

And keep letting the cops know each time these lifes-rejects does something similar, encourage any decent neighbours to do the same.

Get a big list of offending built up against these slack-jawed mouthbreathing improvident lackwits and they'll get to jail that much quicker.

If you take the law into your own hands you will come off worse. If you tell the cops then the responsibility is on them. If kids get awy with this sort of thing you are basically giving them permission to carry on with what they are doing. It is true that many crims start off small and without learning a harsh lesson they may move on to the big time.

Always remember that if the police don't do enough then you should contact your local member of parliament. They are elected by you and should get involved if there is a community problem. It also helps when there are elections coming up!!

Chin up- it's not a total waste of time going to the cops, some of them are old enough for real jail time & the others aren't far from it. Just keep your kids close or let them out in groups. Hate arseholes that ruin it so others can't hang out & play as kids do normally.

They sound like true street vermin. We dont need their kind here, if you can make them 'disappear' that would be good.

But honestly i dont recommend risking your own ass over it.

I like what Bikern1mpho said, but i recon you have more chance getting away with merder.

[Mikkel]

I'd say - report it, testify, do whatever you can within the law.

If they should be brave enough to retaliate you get them again.

Not, worth getting into trouble with the law about. But just don't let them get away with it. Too much stuff like that is not reported or acted upon because people are too fucking afraid of the consequences. However, there's a consequence to not reacting and it's many times worse.

Take a baseball bat to this park for some softball.. then defend yourself if the need arises.

Out West things are usually dealt with by trashing the wanker's cars.. which is kinda pointless cause they just get you back..


Police then? And good luck?

Um, how about a mass letter-drop?

Print up a bunch of flyers warning people to be on the watch for a gang of teenage hoods who have been seen hassling younger kids, or vandalising, or whatever.

Maybe phrase it in a generic way, don't specifically identify yourself, or even them... to avoid being too confontational (brick in windowish) and not to look vigilante-ish.

Make it a general kind of neighbourhood warning, and with advice like the local cop-shop phone number.

As in "If you see these thugs vandalising property or intimidating kids please call xxx yyy zzzz to report it to the police."

(And do this yourself.)

Bung them in all the letter boxes around, to raise general awareness.

Make sure it's the cretins house too, so they know they are being watched - hopefully by everyone.

Let the local schools know, too. Get the kids warned - all their parents might learn about it.


The cops can't help if they don't know about it. If you can get the local community in on it, they'll get the message.


(Easy for me to say. I'm not there. Just trying to come up with a non-make-youself-a-police-target-too idea.)

I will try this one. I took the wee fella down to the police station this morning and they took a statement,BUT without names or addresses of the offenders they dont think anything can be done.We did have one name but because we didnt have the correct spelling it was a total waste of time.So i think the mail drop idea is a very good one,as the neighbours have had a gutsful of the crap thats been going on.
We moved to town so we could send the kids to a good school but now having thoughts about moving back out in the country.A lot more peaceful out there.

I have the video camera all set to get anything that happens,but the slippery little shits seem to know when someones watching.

[babyblade250rr]

i'd say go to the police reason being if they have been put in juvi before chances are they'll go there again judges or "referee's are not so soft with repeat offenders!

[200BUSA]

I rang the police this morning and gave them some more names and they know the kids involved,they said they will put it through(the paperwork) so that obviously -by his tone-means nothing will happen and the little shits will carry on doing what they want.
So a 16yr old found dead in CHCH this morning.I wonder how long it will be before one of these little shits end up killing someone?
