Serious question, what are you meant to do when kids vandalize your shit, cops don't care and you don't know the parents?
EDIT : Not defending the guy, just poor social skills to begin with.
Well, first step is to make sure you aren't going after the wrong people. 🤷♂️
Also: this dude is defending his apartment complex? He doesn't even own this shit, most likely isn't responsible for cleaning it, either.
So why the fuck does he think he needs to be involved and to solve this through physical violence?
Significant money placed on stupidity combined with a corporal punishment upbringing. What are the odds he’s also a Republican?
I had a kid who lives a block over egg my house a few years ago on Halloween. A few weeks later I saw him riding his bike and stopped him and just asked him not to do it again because it was a pain to clean properly. He apologized, thanked me for not yelling at him and then laughed when he saw my house that hasn't been power washed in years with just a few clean spots where his eggs hit.
Now he comes over every week and plays soccer with me and my toddler and helps us with yard work in the summer.
A little bit of human decency and talking to a kid like they're a person can go along way. Kids aren't stupid, they just don't know a lot of things.
Wow. All of us just cosplaying at being adults, and you pull this power move. Are you Fred Rogers reincarnated? You have to tell us if so...
Nah nothing like that. I used to be an awful person, I'm still just trying to be better.
Although even at my worst I don't think I would ever assault a child.
Damn, that's actually really heartwarming
Personally, I would try to get a clear photo of their face and then I would use social media to hopefully find their parents. They would have to be egging my house a few times a week though tbh, it's a lot more work then just power washing it away.
A garden hose?
it's not like physically attacking a child will neccessarily guarantee an end to your problems anyway. Like with everything: it kinda just depends
If anything, I want to egg his home now.
I... want an over-easy egg now.
If you can't outsmart a kid, you've got problems
Just clean it off. Kids are kids. If they're doing it to your house on a frequent basis, there's a reason for it. If it's just once, it's harmless fun
Serious answer: Be a man. Get over it. They're kids. Not everything in life is fair or legal or just. You can't control everything! Will some older teenagers hide behind the "I'm a minor, you can't touch me!" while taunting and provoking you? Maybe. But, again, you aren't their parent and the law will be on their side in any kind of altercation. Don't worry, they'll be overworked, underpaid, and depressed just like us soon!
This is actually a great question.
But I don't have the answer as police in my area would try and fix it.
Report them to ICE?
