[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] The cops brought home a group of kids who were…..walking around? Does your area have a teen curfew? What law were they breaking?

This.

Is there anything actually illegal happening here?

I'm not going to argue that this was a "nice" or "neighborly" thing to do, but it seems pretty harmless.[/quote]

They weren’t charged with doing anything illegal.  [/quote]

Emden of its not illegal its stupid. Like the police said people have guns and will use them.  Right canderas are everywhere. It's not like the old days where you can set off cherry bombs at the park. [/quote]

It’s not stupid.  It’s nasty.  [b]They’re waking up kids, the elderly, people who are trying to get some decent sleep for an early morning at work.  Where is the empathy?[/b] [/quote]

I think this is the angle that you should take when talking with your kid about it.  No, don't ground them for a month, but do give some sort of punishment.  If they will tell you which houses, perhaps you should go over there with them to apologize and offer to do some yard work for the homeowner.  If they can't (or don't want to) remember which houses, then take away phones and screens for a couple of days and have them do chores at your house.  Remind them that they need to be very, very careful and think of scared people with guns in their homes.  Tell them that you never ever again want the cops to come to your door to discuss your son.[/quote]
