[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 475273, member: 1991"] Thanks, Liahona. I just got back from the doctor. diagnosis - hay fever, not clogged ear wax. And I didn't meet any schoolkids other than the decent kid from over the road. Just as I got to my driveway, decent kid's mother pulled up (just going out). She had heard I'd been trying to get in touch with her, because her son is friends with some of these kids. So I gave her a copy of the FaceBook dump. Her daughter was there, mentioned a few more names she had heard at school of kids who had been part of the attack. She also mentioned that she had been chased by these boys who threatened to pelt her and her friends with eggs. I told her that if that ever happens it is assault and the police will intervene. But only if she didn't also start anything by throwing any eggs back at them! The girl listened to her mother and me discussing the dangers of missiles thrown at cars. We also talked about the dangers of telling everybody on FaceBook as well as the problem of kids having FB pages when they're too young. I found out a bit more - the kid I thought was 16, is actually only 14. Most of the kids are about 10 or 12. So yes, they sound like the same group that attacked difficult child 3 two years ago. My neighbour said, "What if they come after you in reprisal for telling their parents?" I said, "If they think it through, they will realise that anything happens to me, there is a list of names here where the cops can begin asking questions. If they don't think it through and choose to attack me, they will deserve whatever happens to them because I WILL call the cops. Again." Neighbour lady chuckled. So did daughter. She kept a copy so she can talk to her son about the dangers of doing the wrong thing, and then about the dangers of social networking. So far, only good stuff. Phew! Marg [/QUOTE]
