There's a house in our street with a young lad living there. He rides around on a fast electric bike wearing a balaclava. His friends congregate at his house. Some also wear the balaclavas and ride the bikes. They ride fast and erratically and there'll be a day soon when one or more is injured killed or the same happens to someone else. The lad is left home alone a lot often overnight. I've kept out if it so far but last night one of them almost got run off the road near our house. The driver was manic. I understand she was angry but she drove fast and was trying to knock him off. We were walking back from town and I'd just said to dh one of them will get injured soon. Then that happened.

It's more a wwyd? The police would need to catch them. They can't chase them. The lad is school age and doesn't go. Would SS be interested?

Dh is getting sick too. Especially with them all congregating outside.

Maybe the local councillor could advise?

Has anyone had to deal with something similar?

No idea what schools they're supposed to attend? I've only ever seen the face of the lad near us.

Hopefully they'll be investigated now?
