[QUOTE="Andy, post: 307496, member: 5096"] I also agree a call to law enforcement is appropriate. I scolded a group of neighborhood kids (my difficult child included) when I found they had surrounded a much smaller kid in the neighborhood and were harrassing him. They were trying to get him to throw one of his famous temper tantrums so they could film it and put it on U-Tube. They thought is was o.k. to do because this kid has become a brat. He had chased my son with a baseball bat, called every kid a very nasty 4 letter word, etc. So, I gave them all a lecture about how they are not to harrass anyone, especially someone in the neighborhood. They are to work at protecting each member of the neighborhood like a family member. I also talk a lot with my difficult child about how ANYTHING he does will get him into trouble because he is so much bigger and older. Doesn't matter if the 6 year old's intention is to beat you with a bat, self protection will NOT be an acceptable excuse if you hurt him. So, continue talking to your son reminding him to keep control. Tell him not to answer the door and if the kids are hanging out near your home, call the police. Don't wait for them to act, the police need to meet them now, they have enough cause to visit with the kids without another incident. Also, how well do you know and get along with your immediate neighbors? I know in my neighborhood if this was happening, I can go to each of my next door neighbors, explain what is going on, and ask that if they see any of these kids hanging around to let you know. They may not feel comfortable making a call to the police so even if they just give you the day and time they are seeing things. [/QUOTE]
