Growing up in Muskegon we had a neighbor lady across the road who was an old Detroit school teacher. If she saw that any kid in the area was acting up she was on her feet and taking care of the situation in short order. She had a way of making me feel as big as an ant when she would grab my ear and pinch. I always respected her because she was right and she didn't squeal to my parents. She was the first one there with the help when I was rebuilding a motorbike or fixing something in the yard. I can still remember her explaining the inner workings of a bicycle Bendix brake system and getting her hands all dirty with the grease while she showed me how to put the discs back into the wheel hub properly. The kids in the area knew she meant business and wasn't just being and old nag. So depending on your relationship with the neighbors and their kids would dictate how you are going to handle this situation. I certainly would feel real bad if something happened to the kids and I had not tried to at least show them the possible danger in their attempt to have fun. People 25 years old don't have the sense to stay out of trouble so don't think 12-14 year olds are real good with reasoning skills. Be diplomatic and talk with the boys if you think that will rectify the situation.
