How to deal with troublemaker child in neighborhood?

julibell_75 · #1 02-07-2007, 23:18

Here is what it's all about. We have 1 neighborhood little boy,who is "suppose" to be on medication for extreme ADHD, causing trouble with other kids,messing with things,etc. His parents allow him outside with no supervision,not even checking on him when he's out alone with no other kids around. When some of us(parents) are outside, he is allowed to come out for us to watch and we are tired of babysitting him. NONE of us even allow him in our houses or backyards to play and this has been brought up to his mom who obviously really doesn't care. Now most of us do not even try to communicate with her at all any level b/c of her lack of respect for other families as well as her lack of parenting. As of today, he was seen going around digging up peoples in ground sprinklers which causes them to shoot the water straight up. Once again, he was allowed outside unsupervised. What are we and should we as concerned parents able to do if even his own parents could care less?????

Sniper rifle.Or you could tell his parents that you will contact the authorities and report them for neglect/improper parenting if they fail to control their demon child.

Several of the parents should go talk with the parents of this boy. At the very least write a very firm letter and explain the any and all damage caused by their son will need to be repaired at their expense. Use examples to show them that supervision is required for this boy and they are the ones responsible not you. Sometimes you have to let them know the neighborhood has formed a strong front against this behavior.

Unfortunately, that's the downfall of morality in this country, parents not giving a crap. That's a tough one. I say report it to the local authorities, or you and your neighbors could hide and wait for him, then bomb him with water balloons(with food coloring, of course) and see what happens then.

You need to have serious straight up talk with the mom. No mincing words. He sounds neglected and because of his ADHD he is keeping himself busy the only way he knows how to. He needs supervision and a positive role model. You may need to call Child Protective Services if she refuses to take responsibility for her little boy. Good luck.

report the case to the police first, beat the hell out of the boy, and warn him not to come near your house and i am sure the mother is already tired with the boy too.but may be the parents contributed to the poor upbringing of the boy,i guess he needs super nanny service

Digging up sprinklers sounds like more than just a little bit of juvenile hi-jinx, - it rises to the level of vandalism. You could either give the mom one last warning and say that if his actions continue, you'll call the police. Maybe that would be a wake-up call. Or, if the situation has already gone beyond talking to her, call the police. Maybe having the police just show up and talk to mom is what's needed. But, remember that with kids with ADHD, actions must be punished (or rewarded for good deeds) soon after the incident. So if you see a similar incident, you need to take action quickly. I'm not excusing the actions due to ADHD, but since it might be a factor, you need immediate action.And most importantly, make sure that you act in a rational, adult-like manner or you'll make things worse in the neighborhood.

Depending on what state you live in , you can go to the city hall and file a complaint on paper. Then if the boy is still messing with up things in the neighborhood. You go down there and ask to see the judge of the county you live .And they will summon the boy parents boy to court. They will warn the parents one time and then fined them. After, that the city will ask the parents to keep the child in house. And , if they do not comply it is up to the judge. hope this help

first of all as a parent with a child that is ADHD combined with BIPOLAR disorder i know first hand that no matter the age these children need extreme supervision and if this boy is not getting it then it is neglect!!! if he is outside all day getting into trouble then you know his parents can not be giving him his meds and that is considered medical neglect. that is the parents fault not the child's so i would not involve the police unless absolutely necessary, but you have every right to be concerned about the well being of this boy. if it were me in your shoes i would definitely inform child protective services. it is obvious that these parents need to be educated on how to raise a child with special needs.

If the poster is posting in grade school, I doubt we need to "send his A** to jail"I would call child services.

Call child protective services the next time the child is out without supervision. It may seem cruel, but really it's in the best interest of the child if the parents don't care. If he's not supervised he could hurt or injure himself or someone else.The parents are fully aware of their child's condition, but may not be able to handle it. Child protective services can also recommend classes and support groups to help this family. It can also be anonymous call if you choose.
