Throw bricks through her windshield...but do it quickly, don't want to get caught. You could also slash her tires, pour salt/sugar in her gas tank...I have plenty of these, such a juvenile delinquent I was.

Shshsh when my son got caught doing donuts in a field by a cop he called me I made him keep him and his friends there till I showed up to wipe that smile off of their faces.....

I assure you if he did it again he never got caught I was not a happy camper. He ended up with a few tickets which he had just saved up some money from his part time job he had on the weekend. Awwww poor thing had to take all his savings and pay for his ticket and explain in front of the judge why he did what he did.

I tell ya and some wonder why their kids do as they do.

just pimp slap the mother and never call her again

If a cop caught my kids doing something they would have gotten down on their knees and begged the cop to take them to jail. And they knew not to bother wasteing their one calling me or their Dad. Our SOP was they should not be in situations that would get them in that kind of trouble.

But no offense to the OP (he reports he saw the kids doing it) but it is possible to and experienced parent, especially if it is a great car
that the caps were taken off by someone else and the kids were just dumb enough to pick them up.

Unfortuneately when someone is vandalizing your car it is because you, or someone you know, have made someone mad. These little punks may have been put up to it by someone else. Seems odd Mom was johnny on the spot to bail them out. Maybe someone went to get her. The thing is if you escalate it you are probably going to have a small war on your hands.

That is just insane. Parents turn a blind eye to their kids, some I mean. Lack of discipline causes so many problems today.

aww you didnt get to kick them in the bawls, and tell them there is no God either?

Wow mom told them they did nothing wrong, Great impression on the kids now they will move to bigger stuff I think mom needs a lesson on how stealing is bad.

My ex husband and I used to own an old schoolhouse that we were turning into a house. It had tons of large windows, and one weekend our neighbor caught a couple kids throwing bricks through several of them. The neighbor called the cops and then called us. Estimate to fix was $7,000.00 but my ex and I decided that instead, we'd ask that the kids spend a day helping us clean up and fix some stuff. The parents complained, saying that it was unreasonable that we expect the kids to do "hard labor" because they were young (14 and 15) and shouldn't be required to do it. We said fine, here's the bill for $7k.

Crazy, parents teaching their children not to take responsibility for their actions.

There's a lot to be said about the lack-of parenting going on out there nowadays.

I remember going to a Chinese buffet joint with my dad once a couple months ago...

I was out "filling the trough" with food when I found a four or five year-old Latino kid climbing up on my table trying to stick his hands in my drink (a large coke).

I snuck up behind the kid and screamed "Whaddya dooin'!!!!" when I got within striking distance. The kid's head snapped back to find an imposing 6'8" figure (with plateful of cheaply-made Chinese buffet food in hand) staring intently at him.

His eyes bulged out and he scampered his way back to his mama. Problem solved...

... or not.

About half-way into my second go-around with the buffet (around ten minutes later), the little monster's ill-bred and wholly-undereducated mother (complete with food stains on her shirt) came storming up to me and proceeded to TRY to chastise me for "assaulting her little angel".

I retorted that if she had been spending her time tending to her unruly feral toddler instead of the feed-bag strapped to her over-sized maw, there wouldn't have been a problem in the first place. I also told the gargantuan beast that she and her child are in a restaurant and NOT a daycare, where little Johnny can go roam around with impunity. If she wanted to go THAT route, she should have gone to the local Chuck E. Cheese instead as they allow such crap there. But she'd also be outta luck as they don't do the buffet thing in that kind of establishment.

That's when she started using the awesomely-tired "my civil-rights have been violated!!!" excuse that so many with absolutely NOTHING to argue about use when they've epically failed. She also claimed that she was gonna call her lawyer and sue NOT ONLY me, but the buffet joint for the "horrible treatment" her child endured.

Thankfully enough, the rather polite staff at the eatery got involved at this point, where they pointed to the large sign that says "patrons- please keep your children under control when in the restaurant" and asked that she and her unruly feral toddler vacate the premises.

The funny thing is that the wholly unfit mother left screaming the whole time, even going so far as to grab one last chicken wing before taking her leave.

It's like the saying goes- if you don't know if you're able to properly care for kids, then you probably shouldn't have them in the first place.

WOW Moof!

I saw something like that once. It was ALL I could do to keep from saying "y'all don't get out in public much do you?"

There was also an incident where a totally-unattended toddler was scampering around on the street. The little poop-factory was just aimlessly gallivanting around with arms flailing until he ended up smacking full force into my truck, which was parked and not even powered up at the time.

The little monster -in running into my truck- is sent to the ground from the impact and starts crying as toddlers do. About a minute or two later, I can see who turn out to be the kid's parents casually turning a corner on my block, totally unconcerned that they let their kid disappear on them.

Of course, when they see the kid on the curb (I had to pick the kid off of the street and put him there), they immediately begin to give me hell for whatever it was they think I did to their little angel. They even went so far as to say that I ran into the kid, DESPITE the fact that (as I said) my truck was parked the whole time.

I retorted that their kid was in fact running around in the middle of the street and could very well have ended up being road pizza at some point (the drivers in my neighborhoods are about as dumb as the parents in question are and won't stop for much of anything) and that their lack-of-parenting is the REAL issue... not my supposed "assautling" of their lousy carbon copy of them.

And people ask me why I don't want kids...

Unbelievable! So much for nipping it in the bud huh!? She blew a perfect opportunity to teach those boys a lesson. Instead she reinforced their delinquent behavior. Mind boggling.

I am begining to wish for the days where you could belong to private clubs where people who have such heathens would not be allowed to belong.

What shocks me is it doesn't seem to matter when you go out either. I am amazed when I go into resturant late in the evening and still see small children being dragged around when they should be home comfortably asleep in their own bed.

Especially when it is not necessary to have children behave so badly. I have taken small children to a resturant many times and all you have to do is remove them from the environment if they can not behave. It is part of the responsibility you take on as a host or parent and it is very effective.

What is really scary is that many resturanteirs will not evict a "bad" character because most people will not stand up for them in court and they can not afford the nuisance suites.

There have never been perfect children but they behaved a heck of a lot better when they knew they stood the chance of getting a handprint left on their behinds if they didn't.
