[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like assault - if this is a recurring issue with the kids, as it sounds like here, then the police and [b]the parents[/b] need to be involved.  We are just doing a disservice to the kids by not holding them accountable for lesser crimes before they eventually graduate to major ones[/quote]

Fixed that.  Schools cannot address these problems if the parents are not fully engaged and trying to address their children's problems. It is not the job of the school to manage the children off campus.  Poor parenting, negligent parenting, or the classic "not my special snowflake" parenting are all at play.

As a citizen I don't know how to pressure the police to actually arrest these kids.  I don't understand why the businesses, which my family frequent often, aren't pressing charges.[/quote]

Agree — This is a parent problem and a legal problem, not a school problem.  It is not the job of the school to straighten these kids out.  These kids are stealing, harassing and assaulting people, and (according to the nbc clip) climbing on to the roof and damaging the hvac system of the Italian store.  WTAF?  At the very least, they need a lot of community service.[/quote]
