Just had the last (and worst) in a long long of issues. At the back of my house there's a path that leads up to a park. There are absolutely lots of kids out there all of the time.
On the other side of this path there's a respite and residential centre for children. They have a garden, then there's the path, then there's my garden.
There have always been things thrown over their fence so I put up a 6ft fence in my garden as we have had a few near misses.
Since the winter there has been a lad out there who is supposed to have 2-1 carers (I know this, and actually quite a lot about this lads situation as they talk very loudly when they do supervise him).
I put in a complaint once already because I know so much about his family situation, and the carers dim view of the family, and why, and the lad was out in all weather, snow rain etc, in shorts and tshirt, and the carers were sitting inside watching from the window.
Cut to today, the kids were on their bikes on the path, the lad said hi as he usually does when I'm out there supervising the kids, then he threw a metal knife over the fence that hit my dd and cut her.
I went up to the fence and shouted for his carers, who both came out, phones in hands, one with TikTok on, and told them what had happened and asked why they weren't supervising him, they told the lad off (not his fault at all) and apologised and said they were just sorting something out that's where they were.
I took dd in to sort her cut out, queue screaming from outside. I ran out and the kid was outside again, alone, and throwing multiple handfuls of quite large stones over the fence, hit quite a few of the kids including my 7yo dd, absolutely lots were launched over my fence into my garden.
I shouted for the carers again and they came out saying they couldn't deal with him today and they can't do anything about it and told him off again. He was throwing stones for a good 15 minutes before he decided to go in of his own accord.
Now I'm wondering if I should report again? It's not the kids fault so I don't want him to get into trouble. The problem isn't with this lad at all but with the lack of supervision he has.
I know the odd thing will happen but there are often instances like him being outside alone and older kids walking past and calling him the most awful names, to the point I go out and deal with them because the carers are nowhere to be seen.
The thought of my dcs being cooped up all summer because this poor lad is completely unsupervised and outside is filling me with dread.
I'm worried for my kids, and I'm worried for him.
Is there someone I should be reporting to (I'm in scotland) I don't think I want to report to the centre itself again because I don't want anyone to take it out on the lad either, and, to be totally honest, I have no faith in them at all.
