[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 475256, member: 1991"] Okay, update. I rang good friend, difficult child 3's Speech Therapist, also her daughter is same age as some of these boys. She (the mum) dropped in to visit me last night but left when she couldn't get an immediate response (I was on the phone). Said she high-tailed it out of town because she was scared of the large group of boys chucking stuff. She also agreed, this shouldn't just wait for the driver to make a complaint. This is dangerous to others. So I rang the cops. I made the point that if the driver were killed, he wouldn't be able to make a complaint then. "That would be a different crime then," the cop said. I told him I had names and written admissions on FaceBook. He finally asked me for the names, I said other people were scared by this too. Also that difficult child 3 was beaten up two years ago by a gang which could well have included some of the same kids. That this sort of behaviour continues (I used the word "meme" - I don't think the cop understood me) and needs to be addressed in order to prevent it cycling through. One lot of kids grows up, they each get a brain and stop doing it, then younger ones pick up the slack and begin behaving badly. All because nobody stops it. I told the cop I wanted to know if they would do anything, because if not, then it was up to me. He didn't like the sound of that. So I emailed him the screen shot, with a covering note. Then I went out (appointment). I left early to drop notes in to two families I know well. Both were out. I wrote on the first, "Please call me, M, to let me know you got this. Just keeping you in the loop." The next one, I know I don't need to. The kid is autistic, he's too honest. Also gullible, though. M rang me a couple of hours ago. Friendly to me, ropable about her son. She thanked me for letting her know, said her son had only just recently been given a bit more freedom. it's about to be curtailed. She will also tell the other parents on the dump printout. My FB friend's mother won't get home until about 5 pm, I know she will be on side with me. So my FB friend plus the two worst offenders will be in trouble with their parents. So that will make me happy. I want this to hopefully change attitudes at least a little. Safety attitudes, social responsibility attitudes and racism. I'm seriously thinking of offering to cook a curry for the boys! A really good one, with poppadoms. And watch them try to say they hate it. Because I make a darn good curry. THEn let them call someone a "curry muncher"! Brats... Got to dash. Heading back down the road to see the doctor (routine). This means I will be in the main street when the school boat gets in. Oh, joy... Marg [/QUOTE]
