To think this is awful

[Miajy]

I know I am not being unreasonable but just wanted to rant. I took my 3.5 year old DC to the park today and there was a group of boys who looked to around 11-12 playing football. As soon as we got there they started swearing loudly and shouting bitch etc. one of them picked up a piece of metal that they had found and shouted ‘I’m going to murder my fucking sister with this’ and started slamming it into the ground. This is happening more and more when I take my DC to parks

I would be talking to the police. Horrible experience in a park. Not acceptable.

Yep. Report via 101 and if you have a local school you suspect the kids are from email them as well. They might know which kids they are and can talk to them or they can address it as a topic.

Please don’t put in on the school - there’s little schools can do as it comes from home. Schools want to get on with educating kids not trying to parent them. After all, they’re only in school 32 hours out of 168 each week so let the police get on to the parents to address it.

Yes the police and schools will definitely be interested in kids swearing at the park on a weekend. ..🤨

Behaviour among kids as young as 8/9 (from the look of it) is getting more and more like this. It's weird. Sorry you had this OP.

The police barely attend for even a house breaking, do you really expect they'll be rushing round to some kids swearing in the park?
Honestly, 'police now' is laughable in MN

I think it’s more the talks of violence in adolescents so young that’s alarming. They’re at a very impressionable age and talks of committing violence can be quickly normalised and those attitudes adopted by others, especially in boys. Whether the boy who said about killing his sister meant it or not, there’s always someone in the group quietly listening and taking that in
