How to deal with annoying neighbors/kids?

1. Contact an attorney your local police department's public information office. They can tell you what you can and cannot legally do.

2. Create a paper trail. Continue calling the police and your childrens' protective services office and start documenting every call. If you have a video camera, start taping.

3. If you have other witnesses to these events, get their statements and contact information.

The authorities really can't do anything unless they have a chance at putting together enough evidence that can bear scrutiny in a courtroom: the courts will expect to see a very clear indication that there is a law being broken, otherwise you're just neighbors who cannot get along.

DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT WILL GET *YOU* IN TROUBLE! Yes, I know that's the Internet equivalent of shouting, and that needs to be heard loud and clear.

Good luck.

Call Child Protective Services. These children are not being supervised properly. Also I would let the owner of the house know that he is breaking the code for home occupancy. Call the housing authority in your county and tell them that there is a nuisance next door. You may be able to sue them in small claims court for injuring your dog.

I would move!

In a firm voice, tell them to leave or you will call the police, take your children, and your dog inside, lock the door and call the police, Tell them that you have made complaints before and you -want- something done now, they are tresspassing.
Then call the RSPCA (or your countries equivelent to Animal welfare.. Report the incident and ask what you can do)
Then call Child services, Tell them clearly what has been happening and the living conditions of these children, ,request they send over a social worker to inspect the premisis..
The main point is, keep complaining, Record all complaints.. Keep calling the police, record those complaints too.. If the police still do nothing, after about the 5th attempt, Complain about that too..
I know complaining nonstop seems bitchy.. But it's what you have to do to get things done.

Also, Consider aking out a restraining order. that way, if they break it, the police have no argument not to do anything about it.

Call the child welfare services (or the equivalent in your area)

Make sure that you express your concern for the children, and NOT your concern for yourself, or your annoyance with the children.

16 people in a 3 bedroom house is not a good situation for children to be in. Children playing unsupervised in the street at 11PM is not a good situation to be in. You will most likely have to identify yourself, but you can ask not to be identified to the family as the one who tipped them off to the child welfare agency.

Good Luck

wow, they sound really annoying.

have you ever tried talking to your other neighbors?
Maybe they think the same way you do about them.
then, you can get together and see what you can do together about those annoying people.

otherwise, i would yell at their kids and the parents also.
ANNDD : LMFAO, yes i would lock your door.

Lock your door.

What did the cops tell you??

Cops didn't work? Why?

just get along
