Today's Youth

This is more for venting than anything else.

I have been having problems with 3 kids that live behind me. They have torn up my yard, Pulled up my flowers, left trash in my back yard, and broke 3 windows. I have called the MPs, (Military Police) Talked with the mother, I even called Houseing, and nothing has been done about theis brats. The group contains a 3 year old, a 7 year old, and an 8 year old. All are well under the Post Age Limit to be left alone outside with out an adult. (Age limit is 10)

They have pushed me to the breaking point today however. I was sitting outside watching some Anoles sunning on a rock in what was my garden and I spotted a Green snake hunting the lizards. (dont know what type it was just bright green) I walked in side to get my camara when I heard a kid yell. By the time I got outside to see what was going on, it was to late. the snake was shreaded. the older one of the group found my shuvel and hacked the poor thing up. There only responce to killing the snake was "it was fun, it wiggled and twisted all funny"

I just dont know what to do any more.

I give up.

Get an electric barbed wire fence.

I wish I could but Post Regs state that I can only have a 3 foot high fence that is not harmful to the public. Also i have to get a permit to get a fence, and it is pointless to spend the money to get one when I will have to tare it down in less than a month.

go up to them and give them a mild empty threat/lecture. kids their age are scared when you tell them "if you go into my yard again i will tell your parents". if their parents dont care (which sounds like they dont), grab them by the arm go to their parents and notify the parents about what is going on and if you cant control your kids, i'll call the police (which will also scare the parents)

Sue for trespassing ;)

Honestly, I'd just "threaten" them... it usually works with little kids.

adi: tryed that, didnt work. I have called the cops and nothing happened. you have to think... I live on a military base. the Mps no longer have thecontrol they once had. DoD is taking over and they are overwelmed with drunk and ... "frustrated" *that was the best word I could come up with,with out being baned* AIT students that cant keep there jons in ther jockies that they dont have time to deal with "petty cases"

As for Sueing for trespassing? cant do it. I'm under a GMH Legal contract that states that if my yard is not fienced in it is classified as comunity property. I.E I cant sue. I hate GMH!!!

Edit: they dont care if you say your going to kill tem. (like the guy that lives next to them) they are gutsy little $&*!$. i have tossed all there crud away that was in my backyard and I told them if it comes in my yard it goes in the trash, but they just dont care.

Do you have access to an M16? :D

Of course I'm just joking!

Try scaring them. When they're outside alone go out there with a chainsaw in some clothes with cow's blood all over them and start sawing up wood. Also, grunt a lot and smile crazily at them while licking your lips. Maybe add a few psychotic bursts of unjustified laughter. IMO

Wow, sounds like these little 'angels' need to be taught a lesson. Does thier yard have a fence? If so, thier yard is community property and you should go over and break all thier toys. If the parents or children complain, tell them about everything the children have done to you. I'd probably end up going to jail if I were in your position. :D

I have a Soft Air, Short Barrel, pump action, BB Shotgun. it shoots plastic BB and is seethrough with a bright orange tip. I dose however shoot at 1000 fps . total weight 5.6 lbs. it is from Crossman. it also came with a matching plastic BB pistol. it shoots up to 350 fps. total weight 1.2 lbs

lol but that is only for Range target pratice. i dont shoot them in houseing.

Added: no fience at there place and they get every freaking kid on the block at there place due to having a trampolean. (sp?!) I have tryed almost everything..... I might have to find an EDB rattler and let it loose ner there house and pick up the snake after they leave to go to the ER. dont want to put the little guy in harms way.

OMG!!! THEY BROKE MY HUSBANDS CARE WINDSHELD I GOT TO GO!!!
