Problems with one kid on the estate

4 replies

We have a problem with one kid on our small estate and our children, they are all 9/10. When this one particular child is not out there are no issues, as soon as they are on the scene we have my children being ganged up by the rest of the kids. This afternoon this one kid has been climbing on my wall to shout abuse at my children playing in the garden and then this afternoon shouting at them at the front window when they were inside. I have this on doorbell camera. I went out and told them to clear off but I can't put up with a whole summer of this. My children have the right to play out too and certainly in their own house without being bothered. I want to go and speak to the parents but my OH says not to escalate and let it blow over but its been months of this.

I’d start making plans to move house. Life is too short to put up with feral kids nearby.

Could you contact community PCSO? Ask them to have a chat with this child ? Could be anon

This is a really good idea. I phoned the non-emergency police number recently to report an adult causing an issue locally and the PCSO's were brilliant and dealt with it within 2 days

Hope you are able to get a good resolution OP

Ridiculous response, as though moving house is that simple.

Not to mention the OP might have the same problem elsewhere.

OP, perhaps your and your DH should speak to the parents together?
