File a harassment suit against them, and tresspassing too.  If you threaten someone's pocketbook you usually get results.

This is an issue that needs to go straight to the principal of the kids' school.  Give them all of the info/details that you have and they will NAIL the transportation department and the driver.

As a former Texas police officer, I can tell you that the guy that is doing it on purpose could be charged with Criminal Mischief if the owner of the property choses to press charges. If it's an accident, then the owner can take the driver(s) to civil court and sue for the damage to the lawn. No one has the right to hurt someone else's property and the one guy that is doing it on purpose needs a charge slapped on his butt and then he can sit in his jail cell and spin his wheels. He can also be sued for the damage. If the owner wants to press charges, tell them to get it on video if possible. Hide a camera somewhere and then they have their proof. =)

Not during my mountain bike days but as a kid it happened a few times. Bloody Choppers and their gear stick!

I think this is not the teacher's job, unless they can be certain that there is clear and present danger.\nBut, I would call the police, give them the vehicle license plate and if you know the home address of the driver/children.

Write up a petition and have as many parents as you can find to sign it.  Then take it to the school board.  Also take it to the town council meeting.  Try to do something before an accident happens.  Good Luck in your quest.

Once your kids are being put in a risky situation, its time to go, all jokes aside.  If he does not have his name of the deed, he would be in the streets.  If he resists than call the police forget what the neighbors think they will forget about it next week.  Remember THE KIDS! It will be worth it in the long run.

I had one when I was 7 or 8 years old.  I used it as a weapon, in simple terms, I used to run into the back of my mother and father's ATV all the time.  Thats a disadvantage for you, the parent, right?  But it might be an advantage for your daughter.

Well, you're not expected to do anything about it. Give them all boxing gloves and let them duke it out in the backyard!

Find somebody's truck parked somewhere and put it in the bed.  Then it's their problem!  It's safe to throw it in there when the own3r's not around and nobody's looking.  Likewise if there's something in there you want (like a gas can) you can take it.

Providing a safe environment is number 1.  Then let them explore through arts and crafts.  Like making bubbles with different size wands, or finger painting.  Take them on a nature hike and point out things of interest and perhaps collect a few things and make a poster of them.  How about using an inflatable pool and fill it with sand, let them create a castle....Clay is always fun, and modeling clay never dries out.  Plus taking them to the library and having them explore through  books increase their interest in reading ( very valuable) and allows for a protected environment.\n\nTry some Kitchen Science experiments too.  These are cheep and fun!

Get a sports cup. Those little devils are sneaky and fast. Tell the child that is not acceptable behavior, take away a privilege or some sort of punishment.

Wow, where do you live?  Hehe.  Um, I don't know what you can tell your kids other than you really think they should find alternatives to hanging out in dark, secluded areas.  You should know that if they are old enough to go out and do things like that, that if you forbid them to do something, if they have a rebellious nature, they may do what they want - against your wishes and better judgement.  \n\nMaybe instead of trying to preach to them you could provide them with an alternative like your driveway, or backyard to hang out in and do whatever it is that they're doing in these spooky places.  It's never too late to teach your kids about entertaining people in the home.  That's something we don't do enough of in our culture anymore, as far as I'm concerned.  (That isn't to say bad things couldn't happen in the home either, but at least then they would be in a more controlled environment, and you [if you were there] could see who was coming and going...)\n\nOther than that, I don't know what else to tell you other than maybe to give them a curfew which doesn't permit these types of activities.  \n\nGood luck.

call mall security, in most states foul language is a misdemeanor. and things like that can show your kids how not to be if explained well.
