Hey Green,

I'm sorry for what's happening to you, but....This is just too funny!!!!!

As we've seen with the Soapbox, it's best not to get into an escalation war with a youngster. They usually have no conscious and will keep going until it goes to far.

Did the father say that only one of the little devils will be going to military school? That still leaves two more .

My sympathies,

Vic

I have a totally different take on the whole thing (imagine that). Rather than going the whole squirt gun route, I would have simply and quietly informed them that the whole dog crap in the bag thing was old and lame and that surely they could come up with something better. Perhaps even given a suggestion or two. Of course I grew up in a neighbor hood where the adults (my parents and their friends) did most of the TPing.

I don't actually believe that the mother will let her hellspawn go to military school. You should see that freak of a mother spoil that kid. It will never happen. I can hear her speaking to her husband right now. "Hoeney aren't you overreacting? It was only a prank."

So I know'll I'll see his stupid smirk sooner or later. Grrr I wanna kill that kid. Surprisingly his younger brother offered to help my bf clean it up.

This is just too funny.

I'd have gone after them with the water gun also. But my advantage is that the kids in my neighborhood know better than to mess with me.

Knowing how kids think and feel, I know that continuing the battle in the current way will only serve to make sure it goes on for a long, long time.

You need to go Nuclear, embarrass/humiliate him in front of his peers

Then tell him that you'll continue to make a fool out of him till he stops, the kid will back down, after all reputation is everything to a kid.

I think it it hilarious what has happened so far, however the paint thing was taking it to far, I say take pleasure in getting him back

No doubt about it Green, Vision is right!

Been through this myself once and the nuclear option was the one that worked.

Just remember, age and guile beat youth and skill, if you're willing to indulge your inner bastard.

Go for it, good luck, and don't forget the pictures -- they'll help with the Evil Plan later on.

I really don't get that any of this is funny.

It seems to me that your neighbour "dad" hasn't been doing his job in terms of fathering his boys. Actions have consequences and his boys don't seem to be learning that.

12-year olds most certainly have a concious. In fact, so do 6-year olds, unless they have a personality disorder. They do lack maturity and judgement and they will make mistakes. But isn't that why we have parents?

Vandalism / public mischief is not funny.

Hopefully the "winner" of this war will be the 12-year old - in the sense that he learns something. If that means you have to file a complaint with the local police, so be it. It might well be a wake-up call for all.

Otherwise, the war will only have survivors and no winners.

Hugs,

Conner

I think you should give the kid narcotics, and then after he gets hooked, call the cops and tell them there's a drug dealer next door.

Are you gonna be bitter about that forever? I told you it was a joke. You never even had to trial.

Sounds like you could use some Mikie advice. He's pretty good about things like this.
