We've had lots of incidents at our home involving kids. We don't live in a bad area at all however we live on the same road as a high school. Since lockdown lifted it's gotten awful! On the weekends we've had an egg at the wall, in the winter we've had snowballs at the windows. In the week days with kids coming from school they've thrown empty cans/packets in our drive(one where we were sat on the drive!). Then this morning I was sat with our baby in the living room and a child has ran up to the door and kicked our door really hard twice. I understand kids will be kids, and I remember playing knock and run in school but this takes it too far. It was so loud how hard they kicked it it frightened the life out of me.
What I want to know is how would you approach this? Would you confront the kids in hope it stops them or just let them ruin our life every week(I suffer from anxiety and it puts me on edge constantly waiting for something else to happen). This morning the child had uniform on and we have two cameras a ring doorbell and a security camera so caught it all and their face. My partner is going to the school with the footage but I'm so worried it will make things worse and giving a reaction will make them worse.
Any advice on how to tackle this? I thought the cameras would be a deterrent but obviously not.
