If your teen girls are roaming your neighborhood Saturday nights

My teen girls don't go out like this. But what on earth do you think will happen to teens whose faces are recognizable on camera? Do you imagine they will be branded with a scarlet letter? Are you going to call police and how much do you think they will laugh at you? Are you going to send Ring video stills to the school you think they attend? To the colleges you believe they are applying?

Those annoying little blighters are smarter than you. They know you can't do anything.

OP is the type of person who is posting these girls' pictures on NextDoor. My daughter would never do this, but as a parent, I would be so pissed if you posted my child's picture on NextDoor for all the freaks to see.

She’s going to post their photos and videos on NextDoor. That will show them!

My teen son and friends don’t do this, they are definitely too old thankfully. They have fake Nextdoor accounts and love seeing the cranky Nextdoor posts about teens. Sometimes they comment for fun. We tell them not to because teen behavior can be scary and dangerous and that’s not nice either.

That's honestly just pathetic. Your kid is a loser if this is what they do for fun.

Sounds like you raised a real gem there.

I know, it’s not nice. I said that. But have you seen the crazy things people are posting on next door? I can’t believe half of the things they say. I don’t want to hijack this conversation but it’s unbelievable. OP, please don’t do it if that’s your plan. Or ever post about dog poop complaints either.

NP, well your precious kid shouldn’t be ding dong ditching if they don’t want their picture posted on NextDoor. I have zero problem with people who’ve caught kids doing this on Ring cam posting the pic. Trying being pissed at your kid for acting like an a-hole.

But when it’s deliberately repeated throughout an entire neighborhood and wakes up people late at night, that crosses the line. Someone needs to tell the kids that they’ve been caught on camera multiple times and that unless they stop, charges can be brought against them for disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct, harrassment, and/or trespassing (check with police on local laws). Penalties include fines and community service.

Kids tend to continue doing things until they get bored or someone stops them. I’d be worried that if no one intervenes, the behavior might escalate into vandalism.

If you ignore they get bored and stop faster.

And if they don’t stop after one or two ignores, the second thing is happening and it’s time for an adult to talk to them, since the parents won’t.

And no, my kid never did this - we live in a city full of apartments where it's not even possible.

Not normal and not harmless. Kids and parents should be held accountable.

It IS harmless. Nobody gets hurt physically from it. Ergo, harmless.

It is not harmless

Yep, if PP is concerned about their precious teen being seen on Nextdoor her kids shouldn’t be trespassing where cameras can pick them up. Actions have consequences.

The kids are being kids. They’re having fun. You don’t have to get so worked up over it. I say this as someone who’s been ding dong ditched, not as someone who’s actually done it.

My nephew was dying of cancer these little shits kept waking my sister up.

No their behavior is not acceptable

One doze of crazy glue did it.
Paint guns fixed it

Calling the colleges these girls applied to icing on the cake .

Ringing doorbells repeatedly at 11 pm every Saturday is harassment. It agitates dogs, wakes up kids, and ruins the sleep of adults who may be suffering from cancer or performing surgery in the morning.

They can be sued civilly (without needing police to get involved) and the fact that they were sued for harassing neighbors will go on their permanent record. Colleges will know.

It is also just inviting a stand your ground incident.

PP you replied to. Ha ha ha. Please, go ahead and see what happens. I'm actually on your side: if this ever happened at our house it would be a huge annoyance. But realistically, you're not going to get anywhere.

Especially if a homeowner shoots someone because they are scared.

If someone is scared by their doorbell ringing they shouldn’t own a gun.

You have a wildly unrealistic idea of the likely outcome of suing minors for ringing your doorbell and then running away once per week. In this instance, suing is not the threat you think it is.

How can you justify the behavior? I’d go after the parents and call child welfare.

I haven’t justified the behavior. What you think will happen if you file a lawsuit over this? What remedy would you be looking for? Because teens typically don’t have significant assets, you’d have to sue their parents as well. You’d have to convince a court that a weekly late night doorbell ring has made you so anxious, depressed, fearful, enraged or sleep deprived that you are unable to enjoy living in your home and the court needs to award a settlement. You’re not going to get a high dollar amount for this minor nuisance. You’d have to represent yourself in court to come out ahead. Maybe the perpetrators have turned 18, but otherwise, juvenile records, even in civil court, are often unavailable to the public, and even when the public can gain access, a person might have to show cause for why they should be granted access. Juvenile records also are frequently expunged, especially for small infractions. A lawsuit involving a minor would not turn up in searches by colleges and would not follow the kid for life.

You are really confused. They expunge criminal records. They do not expunge civil lawsuits. (Where did you come up with that?)

Tell your kid to stop if you are so worried about this.

Juvenile criminal records will likely be expunged. Juvenile civil records may never be available to the public. This will not blemish one’s permanent record.

Also it is truly insane that you would think someone wanted to get rich off of this. Obviously that’s not the point. It is about stopping what has become persistent harassment. Just wait til it happens to you. You will see.

The point is that pursuing a civil lawsuit could end up costing OP money, even if OP wins a settlement. Paying an attorney for representation is out of the question if OP doesn’t want to lose more money than he/she would be awarded. OP’s chance of winning a settlement goes down without legal representation. OP will have to take time off work for court appearances.

Next Saturday I would put up a squirting doorbell.
