children from 5-12 damaging cars on road

JustAThought

Our estate has no driveways so the cars are in coloured bays outside their houses. One family has a large goalpost they (adults) and their children drag out between cars, scraping - damaging them, and their children (5) are discarded onto the street kicking leather footballs into cars and windows for 4 and 5 hours a day. The parents, homeowners, simply do not care and their children also say, when told to play outside theor own house, that they will do what they want and that they dont care what damage they do. Given that the parents dont care how would other parents address this,please.my car is due an mct next week and I dont need the expense of more cracked lights or broken mirrors.I have already repeatedly spoken to the father and mother who are abusive and vicious. Their leather football was kicjed into the rear lights of my car 7 times this morning - the kids replyt o arequest to be careful was that they didnt care.

Document it , record it if you have to and speak to the Gardai

who what when

Respond in kind.
Damage their car, (obviously make it look like an accident) and when approached say you don't care.
I'm a big believer in an eye for eye when it comes to people like these.

thanks for replies - I got onto the garda website and checked out their community policing policy - gaurds visited them today and there were zero kids on the street all afternoon or evening. Guess that says something. Turns out there has been significant representation to the gaurds all about this family.and anti social behaviour and not just by me. Luckily I take good footage so when they are caught lying they have no credibility. Makes you wonder the lack of suggestions or interest here & whether parenting is now just a noun rather than a verb. Many thanks.

Not to p*** on your parade, but this isn’t going to change by calling the guards.
The fact that there has been significant complaints already made means they’re not going to do anything.
