[quote=Anonymous]My son and his friends are middle schoolers in Arlington.  They frequently  go to Rocky Run to play basketball and soccer.  My son and his friends are ethnically diverse but all good kids and do not initiate fights - just go there to play sports.

There now seems to be a grouping of family related kids, mostly younger than my kids, who now go there regularly and simply try to start fights with everyone.  They have older siblings there, one is an older sister and larger and older than my son's friends who has attacked my boys and cussed and atracked them when they defend themselves from her younger brother.  There's an older brother who hangs out at Starbucks, but stays out of the conflicts. Her younger brother walks around shirtless and carrying large sticks to threaten people, and is probably only 12 years old.  It has happened  a few times this past week.

We've told our son and his friends to just stay away from the park, but that is their closest park.   This is a new development.    The kids starting the troubles are also from a minority race (but there may be from different economic situations), but they are uncontrollable and will not stop following and harassing my son and his friends.

It was kind of low level violence with a lot of shoving and cussing on their part, and our kids trying to avoid the situation until the older sister, probably 16ish, came out and and scratched the hell out of one of the boys. Not worth calling the cops, but a 12 year old cussing and carrying long sticks to threaten people is just crazy.

The boys claim they did nothing wrong.    How is this situation to be resolved ?[/quote]
