[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. I went to bed with no responses and now this.

Op here obviously.

I agree that the cops arriving with them at my house was the best outcome in terms of teaching them a lesson. They also needed to hear from them the danger of what they were doing at 10 pm at night. There are definitely people in this community who would meet this incident by bringing a gun to the door if not worse. Most of the kids were white but one friend is black and yes my heart was in my throat thinking about it. He is the one most concerned about wanting to tell his mom himself. I can imagine.

[b]Yes I knew they went to the park and I was ok with it. These kids are 13. It's safe.[/b] It is on me that I underestimated their poor decision-making skills.

I will definitely let the parents know after the kids have a chance to speak to them. If I had called them all and sent them home they would have been more upset at me than their kids at that point. The cops were not mad, they were mainly concerned for the kids' safety. Which is crazy but totally realistic. [/quote]

No, I am pretty easy going about letting kids be out & about, but 10pm is not safe.  If one of the parents was nearby in the car playing on their phone, fine.  [/quote]
