Cheers for the advice folks.

The last little bugger was (ask mbk said) just bored. We spoke to him and he became a good friend. The nicest bit was when i parked my bike up he told my lass "dont touch that bit it can get really hot" Anyhow I'll see how i get on. You can talk to the lad but if hes there swinging on a gate and you tell him to stop and he doesnt thats when im at a loss what to do really.

I dont want to get the police involved as aparently if you do move you have to declare any troubble youve had?

Anyhow ho hum.

We had problems with a mummys little soldier.


He was abusive, kicked footballs at our cars and was caught letting down our lads van tyres.

We tried to have a word with his parents who were in denial and said it was our son (age 18 at the time) verbally abusing their little boy (about 14). Absolutely no joy with them.

So next time they kick the ball at my lad as he is driving up the road. He anchors on, jumps out and they scarper. but one falls over and hurts his knee.

We know nothing until the police call to arrest my lad for assaulting little soldiers friend. Who made the complaint, not the so called victims parents. Little soldier mummy who thought it wrong my son should stop his van and cause the injury to little soldier friend.

Unfortunately just to get out, our lad accepted a caution. I am still waiting the opportunity to give little soldiers parents a piece of my very opinionated mind. But they are too cowardly to walk past my door.

As for other problem families, one down the road from me (thieving gits, and amateur drug dealers) got a visit from the local proper drug dealer, after the ambulance left the house went on the market pretty quickly. sometimes it is useful to know people who can have a none too polite word.

I am not PC as far as this kind of thing is concerned but "Old school"--Do unto others etc
Take from that what you want

Is the house this lad lives in rented from the local authority??, if so his parents would probs be responsible for his behaviour in accordance with their tenancy agreement. I've worked with my local authority tenancy enforcement officers when they've needed to attend a house to take some action & needed me along to prevent a breach of the peace etc.

You'd be surprised at how quickly a parent can & indeed does learn to ascert parental control when 1) faced with eviction for breach of tenancy agreement, 2) the council advise them that once evicted they are under no obligation to re-house them even if it means homelessness.

The same can also be said for a private housing association or similar, most of the reputable ones share information so getting another one to re-house you when you've been blacklisted can be tough.

If it's a private landlord situation, find out who the landlord is & keep on at them. I know where this has been done to good effect. Apparently a landlord will switch off their mobile phone of an evening/night-time if they are constantly bombarded with local residents complaining about their "trouble" tenants; AND, apparently the same can be said for when the landlord later switches said phone back on to find that they have 11 voicemail messages & 29 text messages all about the same thing.

You could video tape him on offence while making sure he sees you doing that. If that doesn't put him off, you can send a compilation to the parents or use it as evidence.

I live in the middle of an ex council estate, and as all the scroats have moved onwards, everyone of them will no doubt tell you that you don't pee off the woman with the bikes

I couldn't give a gnats ar$e whose family they come from, they all get the same treatment if i think they are out of order. I'll even put the parents in place when they come knocking!

I remember one night I came back off a 12 hour shift in the dark and there was a rope tied across the street, at head height waiting for me and two kids running in their house. I parked up at home went down the street and knocked until someone came out.
By the time I'd finished, not only did they feel like crap for doing it, but they were always the lovely polite kids I expected if I was anywhere in earshot......or if my curtains twiched.

I've also had a run in, in front of all the nieghbours with a group of pi$$ed up teenage lasses over the road.....after a 12 hr shift! Put it this way, a plastic bottle of cider being wafted in front of me as a girl goes on a rant, isn't very nice.....and she ended up wearing it, just as two coppers came walking down the street She got escorted home, and the lass whose house it was, was sent round the day after to apologise by her mother, never a party there after that....and if there was.....my curtains twitched and it went quiet!

So Andy....wanna hand? I come with very good credentials
The kids round here live in terror of ****ing off Dylans mom hehehehehehhee

cheers dizz but its not my cuppa cha really. Im a lover not a hater and all that

will see if we can get him onside first but its not a regular occurance he ventures down to the bottom end of the street. just with the warm weather and all i need to get this sorted asap.

Oh trust me Andy, so am I....but, theres a way to talk to kids of a 'certain nature' and by the time you've finished, they have utmost respect, and more often than not, when doing something they shouldn't, give up immediately as soon as they hear your voice.

I don't have a nine and half year old, with the manners of saint for nothing ya know
