Neighborhood kids.

To be honest.. I have not.

I have not done my homework apparently...

but if one does... I am sure you will find something wrong with each one of them.. Unless you decide to live in a controlled gated community.. and even then you find crimes with in those as well.

Crimes can happen anywhere even in nice neighborhoods. I grew up near the junction of Chippenham Parkway and River Road in Richmond VA. I can remember when Chippenham Parkway was built.

I remember the boy next door well because one day he got high on drugs and shot my cat. Although she recovered from her injuries, she was never the same after that. We had to put her to sleep as a result. I'm told he died of a crack overdose. My mother told me no I didn't misunderstand her when she said that. I remember the ambulance over at their house. I'm told mom was the only one at home with son and the rest of the family were in England.

I also remember a neighbor who went to jail for selling heroin at his pharmacy and my neighbor across the street; his whole family went to jail for what was the fourth largest second mortage fraud at the time. The local papers couldn't get enough of my neighbor across the street for a year and half.

I agree. People of all kinds live in various neighborhood. Crime does not discriminate. It happens everywhere.
 
I am sorry that this happened to you and I hope the situation with the parent is an isolated incident. The woman needs anger management classes!

My neighborhood is nice but borders a bad neigborhood across a state route. The people on my block are wonderful and my son is too young to interact with the kids so I dont know how the kids are here. I will find that out this upcoming school year when my daughter moves in with me and goes to the school here. I just have knots in my stomach thinking of potential issues but my neighbors told me that the kids and the school have had no problems. I just worry with the economy being so bad and all..people losing their jobs, drinking more or doing illegal activities and it filters down to the children. We'll see.

I find it disgusting that this woman would come into ur yard and start cussing you in front of other kids who had gathered there too.....Apparently, this woman has no class! No parental skills or just don't give a damn!...I would steer clear of this lady and her kids....Seems to be very "low class".

I've been into a few alteractions with some parents before (where I live), due to their kids riding bikes onto my lawn or throwing their trash down....But I don't get into a "cussing match" with them.

One man did come to me, raising hell, said that my boys (along with other boys) were playing football and the ball kept going onto his lawn. I did apolize, and told him it would not happen again....but he was "so worked up" he said..."I'm going to call the police if they don't stay out of my yard!".....And he yelled it....

To me, that was overly dramatic....we could have handled the situation much better! His loss...we could have been better neighbors. We don't speak anymore, or even wave as we pass by. Such a shit-head!

I've seen upper-class people do that. There are some upper-class people who tend to be sue-happy. They will easily jump in and start yelling at you threatening to sue.

A lot of people like to nag cuz it often makes them feel superior.

That's how losers usually act. If they're losers, how do they feel better? They try to make better people feel worse than they do... so that they aren't as bad of a loser as they were before. :roll:
 
I am blessed to have moved to a LOT better neighbourhood with friendly people!! Before that I was living in a rough street. Actually when my parents bought the old house it was on the poshest street in the area. But when I was around seven years old, drug addicts moved into the street. one day my dad found a needle on the floor just outside my front door. Not a very good look for 2 seven year olds. And also the morning I was going in hospital the car windows were smashed so they had to find alternative transport. It took almost 2 years to sell the house because it was so rough. Now the street we moved out of is in the newspaper regularly for constant drug raids.... EEEK!!!
 
Children will always be children, one minute they're fighting with each other and the next minute, they all forget it and play together.

However the very same thing cannot be spoken about their own parents who decides to get involved in their own children's spats.

Oh boy, some parents need to allow their children to learn how to argue and walk away from their own arguments as well. Those parents who get involved aren't doing their children a favour at all.

They're showing that bullying is okay because Mommy and Daddy does it with their kids.

This was not a childhood spat.. The physical fight was between two 14 year olds. The rest of the younger ones were just shooting off their mouthes.

I know one of the boy, is finally off restriction today. Have not seen the other one since the incident.
 
You can have this anywhere. Where I live, you'd think was perfect. No visible crime, no known drug problems among the youth, no violence. WRONG.

It's here amongst the green pastures and grazing cattle. It's here nestled between two National Forests and a diverse school system, two hospitals, a poultry processor, the grocery store and mercados that line downtown mainstreet.

There are people here that are involved in the drug trade you would least expect. For the most part law enforcement ignores it until it gets to the point the user becomes a menace and danger to the public.

It's all quite here.

We are one of the largest hubs of drug trade from South America. How do I know this?
How many times have I stood on the line and heard the deals go down on the line about the mota. The anglos will buy it from the latinos who will smuggle it from California or from Mexico when they travel.

How many times have I read the police beat of a regional paper and a state trooper busted a drug transport on nearby I-40?

We have mota and meth. Would I move out? Yes if it got my DD in trouble. Of course your going to find this anywhere, but there are places where it's more difficult to get it. Do I want to move out? Yes and no. It's something that may be decided in the next 5 years.
 
Ohh I just moved in new house last month, and we have a horrible neighborhood.

We live on small driveway. 4 house share with one driveway. My mom's van was parking in the middle, for unload things to put in the new house. A woman who live next to our house, she came and had some attitude, told my mom that "you not supposed to park there"..then mom said "I know, I just need unload things out of van thats all." then she asked my mom "how can I drive out of here?"..mom said "I can move and let u drive through if u need to get out"..she said "what if I want to get out of here driveway right now?"..My mom said "sure that's fine"..So a woman grumpy and went back inside house. She never come out or need to go anywhere nothing. Huh she's looking for some problems already on first day when we moved in.

Then 2nd day, my mom found a lot of mail letters in our garbage. It wasn't ours, it was woman's. So mom took it and put next to woman's garage. But mom's boyfriend wanted to go knock and ask woman abt mail. He went, then told woman that he put mails next to her garage, and pls not throw in our garbage. Then woman said "oh thank you" then slammed door hard. she's pissed off at us.

Later, she put water splash for grass, next to my car, which my windows is down. My mom said obviously woman do it on the purpose. So mom had to roll my window up, she said my seat is so wet inside car. I didn't know.
 
This morning, my hubby gave a neighbor a lift to work when her car wouldn't start. That's what good neighbors do. Good neighbors are worth their weight in gold.

It's a federal offense to discard or open letters that are not postmarked to them. Report this woman you are having issues with. She will be charged with a federal offense for discarding your letters without your knowledge.
