Dave Langdale: Is it neighbourly to allow children to beat a ball against other peoples housesfor hours?
A neighbour allows their children to be foul mouthed and total bullies to other children and all and sundry. The kids will slam balls against windows, doors, gates, trample over people’s gardens. Is this acceptable behaviour? If we ask them to stop, they get worse, what would you do in this situation? Are the parents of naughty children who stand by and laugh or goad them even, responsible role models or anti-social people with malice?

Hell no!

Answer by Beth H
No this is totally unacceptable! They could cause property damage or injure someone. Definitely document this behavior and unite with other neighbors, call the authorities and report this disruptive behavior. I’m sure there is some sort of nuisance law, at the LEAST, that you can have these stupid parents charged with!

Answer by Aimy
no it’s not neighborly. if it gets too annoying or you cant sleep or you feel they are harassing you, you do have the right to call the police. if you don’t want to do that,

No, that is not neighbourly. If you feel you are being harassed or annoyed, you should contact the police immediately. If the children smash a window or injure someone, will the parents still be laughing when they (the parents) are arrested and charged?
