They can't be with the child 24/7. You can ground your kids, but that doesn't prevent them from sneaking out. You an try to teach them right from wrong, and they end up hanging out with a bad crowd.

One day my daughter was walking home from school, a kid ran past her, grabbed her musical instrument and him and a few friends stomped it to death a few doors away from our home. Police were called, they knew the kid, in trouble all of the time. His parents should be made to suffer right? Bought damn time they paid for thier kids actions....about damn time they started caring and acting like parents right?

He actually had great parents. They lived in a beautiful home, had 3 kids, 2 of which you would classify as damn near perfect (one ended up as a lawyer, one is a dentist). Parents were always involved in their kids lives. They went to the baseball games, they made their kids do thier homework....but one turned out to be an ass. When he started being an idiot, they did the standard stuff, they grounded him, made him do extra chores...he would sneak out...threaten his parents. They put their son in therapy, they also went to family therapy...they tried everything including a summer of "tough love boot camp" that was recommended by the cops. Nothing worked. Last we heard he was in and out of jail, and on welfare.

The thing is, you can't automatically blame the parents, the trouble is, given the same environment, some kids will grow up great, others end up bad seeds....genetics? peer pressure? Who the hell knows.

they need to be punished by their parents. do not get the law involved.. simply take a few pics with a $40 motion sensor cam, give the pics to their parents and let them know that in all fairness, the pictures are proof of a Federal Offense... but you've decided to leave it up to them. Then shake the parents and kids hands and leave politely.

listen for the ass whooping from across town :)

I never had anyone steal my mail before. At least to my knowledge. I just found out tonight that 2 punk ass kids are going around stealing my fucking mail. They were bragging to a kid that lives next door which happens to be my nephew's girlfriends brother.

He's getting their full names and addresses so I can prosecute. I thought it was awfully weird I didn't get mail the past two days. Nothing not even junk mail and I always get something. And apparently one of the pieces of mail they took was one of my fucking checks. Exactly what check from whom; I have no idea. I plan on prosecuting. Stealing mail is a federal offense punishable up to 5 years imprisonment and a $250,000.00 fine for each piece of mail stolen.

I had a problem here before with mail. I got a birthday card in the mail and I found it outside my box wide open. This time they were ratted out and I will be taking their parents to court for it. Kids have no fucking guidance. These kids are around the ages of 11 and 14. I don't give a flying fuck how old they are they shouldn't be fucking with my mail or anyone's for that matter. When the kid who snitched asked how are you going to cash the check? The one kid replied we have ways. They are fucking with MY money that pays MY bills and puts food on my family's table.

Tomorrow I have to get in touch with the post office and I will be getting both of their names and addresses so I can prosecute. Who knows what else they have taken over the 2 years I've lived here. I am LIVID! :mad::mad:

At 14 you understand enough. At 11 I'm not sure. The 11 year old was likely just following the lead of the older kid.
