Problem with a kid

Leftist

Hi, how is everyone? great.

'I have a friend', literally it's not me or I would have dealt with the situation in a rash and probably over reactive behaviour already. Anyway these people I know have an issue with a young chap on their street.

he's about 12/13. Has begun throwing stuff at the house, two people in their 60s live in the house. he's throwing objects at them and hurling abuse although the latter falls into the category of boys will be boys.

The thing is the couple have approached the boy's father and he's having none of it. He's a knacker in a business suit in no uncertain terms.

the situation is getting to the couple but they want to ignore it.

If it escalates or continues, is there any legal process to tackling this issue?

Apparenrly other neighbours are having an issue with the child too. but that's apparently.

Anyway, thanks.

there would be legal procedure, but i dont think that because of this situation gards would do anything...

Is the estate run by a council ?

Heres a link to SDCC to fill out an incident report or find the appropriate council. The councils have their own means of dealing with such disruptive family's, like eviction.

On another level completely, I had a similar problem... my solution was to befriend the source of the problem... at the time it was to remove snow from my driveway and just outside the house, gave him a few bob, no more hassle after that he even says hello when we meet. Anyway don't wait for the snow try and think of something, help with the garden or whatever springs to mind. It will work or at least put some doubt in the child's mind before he continues with his harassment etc...

thanks for suggestion. It's not a council estate though.

Personally it's not within my realm to do anything, I'm hundreds of miles away, but I just wanted to know if some reaction could be explored. Something with repurcussions because dealing with the family on a rational manner has failed.

thanks though, it is a nice suggestion.

If it's ongoing it would be nuisance. The age of responsibility in tort is fairly young. I'm treating this as a hypothetical as per charter. You cant get legal advice here.

Disclaimer: I'm wrong 95% of the time and I've already been right once this week.

Of course this is all assuming you've already contacted the Guards and just wanted to know how you could progress it on the civil side.

If the couple video whats going on and bring it to the gards Im sure they would pay the father a visit. Might be enough to get the young fella to stop.
