Kid next door throwing trash in our pool?

Question

Theres a stupid little 11 yr old kid that lives next door that keeps throwing these long sticks and huge rocks into our pool in the backyard. hes also thrown beer cans and other junk to. i never see his mother so talking to her is not an option. should i confront him and tell him to stop? or is calling the police taking it to far for a problem like this? what should i do?

Answer 1

throw that S**t back in his yard, and when his mother comes over to complain to you tell her that her brat won't stop trowing stuff in your pool so you thought you'd give the S**t back to her.

Answer 2

I would knock on the door and tell the parents. If you are not able to get a hold of them. then i would call the police

Answer 3

Throw it back into his yard, if anything is said to you about it, just tell them that the kid left it in your yard...you are just returning it. Don't you just hate it when kids are not raised right.

Answer 4

If possible, get it on video.

We had a similar problem when neighbor kids would throw mud bombs into our pond. We saw the kids do it, but the mother always denied it and of course, the kids said that they NEVER did any such thing. A video will be your proof. Try talking to the mom~ make a point to find her. If that fails, you may need to contact the police. They will track her down and tak with her or the kids. It needs to stop. Good luck!

Answer 5

Throw it all back over the fence and eventually that will get someone's attention and when they come over to talk to you about it say their kid threw all of it into your pool...and you did not want to keep anything that obviously belonged to them.

Answer 6

Take pictures.  Talk to the mother.  If it doesn't stop, call the police and report the child as vandalizing your property.

Answer 7

You never see the mother?  Can't you go over there or call or something?  I think talking to the mother is an option.

Answer 8

Knock on the door and talk to his mother or father, if they do nothing about it video tape it and call the cops. then have the pool cleaned and give them the bill.   I had a similar problem that I handled in a more "aggressive" way, but thats not for everyone.    This kids parent(s) obviously didnt teach respect and if you dont do something now it will get worse as time goes on..

Answer 9

You really need to approach his parents first and try to work this out.  If that doesn't work, then you can call the police.  The kid is actually vandalizing your property so the parents have to be made to understand that if they cannot control his actions you will have to take it to the authorities.

Answer 10

Talk to him. Tell him if he doesn't stop you will report him to the police.

Answer 11

first talk to the boy if he keeps doing it talk to his mother and then get the police invloved. Why can't you knock on the door and talk to his parents?

Answer 12

Please speak to the parents first, if it does not stop, tell the parents again and let them know that you will call the police the next time it happens,, and then do it when it does.
