[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD, age 16, likes to go to a little playground near her elementary school--Caroline Freeland Park in downtown Bethesda. 
There are a lot of kids of all ages who like to go there.
There are also rough kids--violent, vaping, dangerous--kids who occasionally show up. My DD has had her glasses broken twice, and once was tackled by some girl who thought my DD was going out with her boyfriend (my DD had no  idea who this boy is). 
I tell her to stay away, but there aren't many places to go and she is drawn there to be with the cool kids, to be with other people, etc. 
The police do show up after dark (technically the park closes at dusk), and everyone scatters. Even if my daughter wanted to report someone, she doesn't know names, let alone last names or addresses, of the violent kids. 
I'm at a loss. [/quote]

Near her elementary school?  She's 16, she doesn't have an elementary school.  I don't believe for a second that your daughter doesn't know the girl and had no idea who she was or what was going on.  Not in today's social media climate.  I have kids that age, they know.

Why is she hanging around a kid's playground?  Don't give me that BS about there not being many places to go.  You live in Bethesda FFS, not in the cornfields somewhere.

This whole post is stupid. If your daughter is having issues with kids, stay away.  She shouldn't be hanging around a children's playground anyway.  Leave it to the actual kids.[/quote]
