    how old are these children?

    I know what I would be doing, a little short and sharp word in their ears then if the little !!!!!s carried on I would be round like a fish wife to their parents, other options is the mosiquito, burst their eardrums ;-)

    There are 6 children who are the main culprits and they range from 5 - 10ish. The younger ones are the worst culprits.

    It's just how it is these days - you are doing it to prove what little effers the kids are, the parents wont see this, they could call you perverted - mind you, it might stop them sending their kids around to your house!!! :eek: :D

    lol thats one way of stopping all the junk mail too i reckon.

    it must be me but i think if a parent was to show me of my kids being little effers (nicely put by the way) the thought wouldnt even cross my mind. but then saying that i know my kids are little effers :D

    we had 2 kids in ours today from up the road and this is the first time mine have had anyone in apart from family and close friends. i'm not sure who was more traumatised me or my 5yr old dd who had to help me tidy her room afterwards :rotfl: she even said, next time we'll just play outside

    It may cost you a bit but have you concidered fitting security cameras, then you could film them without making it obvious that you are filming them (if that makes sence). We had a similar problem with the kid that used to live in my house vandalising my car and we fittied security cameras purely to catch him in the act and show his parents (which we did) but there's no way he could prove it was done purely for him.

    Five is too young to be playing outside unsupervised and especially if there are older children getting up to mischief. They have only limited sense of danger and little of responsibility at that age.I wouldn't let your children play with this group unless you (or someone else responsible) are going to supervise them directly.
