[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 475854, member: 1991"] Neighbourhood Watch used to be good here but is mostly defunct. However we do have another local organisation which can take this on, I think. They are the ones who set up Neighbourhood Watch and might do so again. Trouble is, they meet on a day when I am unavailable. However, we do have a really good local electronic newsletter which I now think will be the way to go rather than the local paper which, although it would publish my piece, might not get red widely enough. The electronic newsletter could be of far more use. I just posted a link on my FB page about this morning's news, about the two young boys charged with cracking a driver's windscreen by dropping a rock from an overpass. i added my own note of "This can start with kids thinking it's okay to throw things like water bombs and eggs, but any projectile can startle a driver and cause a serious accident. It's also against the law to throw objects at a moving vehicle." I don't think my young friend (almost former friend now, if I can't resolve this) will see it, and the other kids won't because they're not my FB friends. But my next step will be to post the same link and same comment on the village e-news, along with my report of the events. The parents of these kids do read that. And yes, I will drop in the letter tomorrow to the third family. I might leave it at that, then, as far as contacting the parents. But I do think now - if I had insisted two years ago on the meeting I asked the cops for, with the kids who attacked difficult child 3, then maybe we could have prevented these kids escalating. because in their minds, they got away with it. And difficult child 3 won't leave the house willingly. He stays home even on festival days. Marg [/QUOTE]
