Call the dog warden at your local authority.One neighbour who bullies the kids sees no problem in his dog, sometimes wandering the cul de sac without a lead, soiling the footpaths and gardens where children of all ages play.
....
An increasing amount of people (most don't have any children or are investor landlords) don't want children playing on paths and roads or on green spaces anymore. ....
Get some thick, dirty, greasy oil and smear it all over the gates. The ball will be covered in it, and so will their clothes. Should do the trick.
Why on earth would anyone sign up for estate living if you cant get along with your neighbours, old and young.
Shouldn't that be the biggest priority not some shaggin piece of 07 metal in your driveway.
Leghorn my friend, Just remember that somethings in life are free and giving is more satisfying than receiving.................
Dont squander all your living days measuring everything in terms of affordability. Concentrate on value, not price.

My own conclusion is that people nowadays are venting right left and centre, blowing fuses for the slightest thing that encroaches on their perfect world, their perfect houses and their perfect shining cars. Have we really become this nation of highly stressed materialistic, "me me" people. Its absolutely disgusting.
eh, if you mean the stabbing by the two 16 year olds then I actually wrote that...and what did you say to the kids to provoke them? Anyway where are we going on here? Have these kids threathened anyone? Did they dent a car? Did anyone say anything about windows? No they ..use a gate as a goalpost.
My advice, get them some nets and maybe even jerseys...a bit of positivity might calm down all the violent tendancies floating around...I guarantee alot of the posters here will run into greater difficulty when their teenage child gets into something more serious...and to think of it, imagine how you would feel if they were your children, kicking a ball in an estate and being threatened with death or the potential of fully grown men actually going to hunt them down and tackle them?
Alot of ye seem well out of touch with the youth of today...
Having read quickly through this thread,Its obvious that some of you are obsessed with these ball kickers. Why on earth would anyone sign up for estate living if you cant get along with your neighbours, old and young.

When I was young we had a fabulous goal post at the gates of a neighbours house ( a district Justice) Every so often the lovely old gent would come out and apologise that he had to interrupt the game as he needed to reverse the car out. No problems what so ever, not with him, not with anyone. Just kids growing up, hanging out, kicking ball.

I find the suggestion that children be confined to playing in their own gardens incredibly sad. Children have been playing together in communal spaces for generations. The only difference now is the prevalence of cars, so I suppose it depends on your value system.
You're encouraging children to play on the street? FFS.I am involved in a project which sought to preserve and encourage traditional street games for children and young people.
