[QUOTE="klmno, post: 151583, member: 3699"] I think I would video tape it and send it to a few agencies- like press, cps, police- and make sure it includes the bumping into people, disruption of traffic, or whatever else. Well, I guess that would be hard if it is your own neighbors you will have to live with- There was a kid in our old neighborhood who would ride his bike erraticly through busy intersections and such. He was also vandalising mailboxes as he rode by them (intentionally running into them). I was concerned for his safety as well as the potential for causing a traffic accident. This kid was about 12 at the time, but still a kid, Know what I mean?? So, I decided I could not just sit there waiting and watching for the inevitable. I just went to the parents' front door and after asking the Mom if she knew where and what her son was doing at that very moment (of course she said, yes, he's just bike riding), I sternly expressed my concern about his safety and potential death and the possibility of causing injurious accidents to others and how it bothered me that much so I couldn't understand what kind of mother could sit at home and allow this to continue but since she could, I felt obligated to inform others. Then I left and went home. About 5 mins. later, her car went all through the neighborhood, son and Mom came home, and that boy rode responsibly after that, at least any time I saw him. He always shot me dirty looks, but I figure it could have saved his life and if my son was doing that, I would want to know. [/QUOTE]
