[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all the parents thinking a group of teenagers playing Ding Dong Ditch is a harmless prank, aside from the gun issue do you not realize the behavior escalates?

Earlier this month in my neighborhood, a ding dong ditched escalated his behavior And threw all the garbage from someone’s yard (weeds and what not) onto the front porch.

In a different neighborhood, a group of boys  killed a goose.

I have no problem with whoever called the boys for playing ding dong ditch. Scare them straight before their behavior gets worse.[/quote]

But this isn’t what happened.  The boys weren’t vandalizing property, stealing anything, or doing anything illegal.  It isn’t a crime to ring a doorbell.  Yes this is bad behavior and can scare people or escalate.  Yes they shouldn’t do it.  The police bringing them home is irrelevant since they weren’t doing illegal activity, there is no charge. It would be the same if the neighbor called OP or walked the boys back to her house.  Yes OP was stupid to let them go to “the park” alone at 10, yes they were wrong to be doing that, yes the parents should be told at pickup. 
But I don’t think this warrants midnight phone calls and immediate pick ups [/quote]
