KIDS and the POLICE
I agree, I too atteneded the meeting and personal business was not a topic I recall. However, the issue of children was! It is common sense to believe when children are left with nothing to do and the parents lack of presence, mischeif is going to take place. The statement about calling the police and leave the kids alone, bothered me. I speak for myself, but if these kids had RESPECT for ADULTS maybe the police would not be called so much. I have encountered more than once, a teenager walking down the middle of the road, who acts if though I should drive around them. Think what you will, but I would consider this a lack of respect AND common sense.
I also recall an incident where about 6 teenagers were walking passed my house and literally left garbage in the road. When addressed, it was confirmed that at least two of the children were from this neighborhood. When I asked if their mom would appreciate the same type of garbage in front of their house, I was blown off.
Don't mistake my reply, THERE ARE GOOD KIDS. However, think about when you were a teenager, you most likely acted a whole lot different when your folks were around compared to hanging with your friends.
