Mark the neighborhood i live in is newer. Oldest homes are about 4 or 5 years, mine is almost 2.5. my street goes diagnally through the block so all the kids cut through to go back and forth to school. It's a public street, fine walk through but leave my sh*t, and others alone.
I had to confront a father last summer when his daughter was caught jumping the 5 foot tall fence at our park to use the water park. He made me talk to the daughter first, then got out of the car. then he told me 2 different stories then the girl did. he didn't care AT ALL that his kid and friends were jumping the fence to get in. Bet it would be a different story if they were hanging by the fence or hurt in the water park. Too many parents are crazy these days, no wonder the kids are.
