Should i let my kids play out? |
hi i have 4 kids and today they played outside ,they went to the park and some kids started throwing stones at them ,i just happened to be taking the dog for a walk and told my kids to come home ,any way when we got home about 30 teenagers on bikes came towards us claiming one of mine had hurt one of their little brothers ,he didnt it was someone else at the park but i was scared and now i am angry with myself for being scared ,i am a grown woman ,anyhow they went off saying if they find out it was my son they would come and batter him ,i am still shaking i dont know wheather to keep my kids in all the time or let them out again next weekend ,the teens all live in the estate a bit more ,the little boy that had said my son had hit him couldnt say it was him ,?me and my husband have only just started letting them out he is still against it i havent told my husband cause he will say i told you so and argue with me ,i live in the uk and my kids are 13,11 ,10 and 8 xx I would find out the name of the child he was supposed to have hurt, I would then go round to the parents and explain to them that their elder son came looking for my son with 29 of his friends to hit him, tell them what age your son is. You will hopefully find that the parents are horrified at their son's threatening behaviour and cowardice that he had to bring 30 people with him, tell them that you were so frightened and intimidated by their sons' threats to beat up your son that you were thinking of informing the police but would prefer if they could perhaps have a word with their son and his friends instead. One thing you don't want to do is nothing, and what a pity you're children have to pay the price of being kept indoors. Alternatively if they are council tenants go to the police and then make a complaint to the council it will be viewed sympathetically and in confidence. I wish you good luck. Keep em in. If they don't get bullied they will probably turn into thugs themselves! If you know their names,ring the police and ask them to pop round,people putting up with this behaviour is the reason kids think they can say what they like. They're not afraid of their parents so you need to go to a higher authority,your son has been threatened,even if nothing comes of it it's still intimidation. I've been in that situation since i live on an estate - i don't want to generalise, not all the kids are bad and some of them who were have moved away or have actually grown a brain!! (Yay!!) Anyway to be on the safe side i wouldn't let them out - when we started having problems with the kids that lived on our street, my sister was banned from playing outside - it's sad but at the end of the day it is for their benefit - to be quite honest you don't want your children to be hanging around violent kids like that anyway - they may feel like joining in, in order to fit in. You should get the kids reported!! I would just go to the park with them and if anyone starts anything go home. I live in England too and I'm sad to say I don't feel safe letting my kids out either. I know they need to learn to be independent, trustworthy and street smart but the risks are just too high these days. It's not like years gone by when a fight meant a black eye these days knives, guns, druggies and thugs seem to be absolutely rife. The adults in my are feel intimidated too, but what do the police do SWEET FA!! well i would just teel that teenager that he needs to leave your kids alone,show him that you have senority... talk to his parents if possible and i would just let your kids outside, but tell them that if they are being threatened, go home and tell you what happened. try to avoid the teenagers for a while. |
