Rant/ peoples kids comitting vandalism., what causes these kids to  

yes, they did this at the pool where we pay membership and my hubby caught them....in the act....of course he reported it alll but we cleaned up most of the mess....I think they should have cleaned up the mess and I hope they dont try it again. The pool had just been cleaned and shocked. They tore up mounds of dirt and plants and tossed it all into the pool. Thereby ruining the clean water....and no parents anywhere arround...

Hit the nail on the head there my friend, very very true, don't annoy us go and annoy someone else! Some parents get sick of their children hanging around them so inflict them on others. Great recipe when you add that there is no deterrant to stop them getting up to all sorts and the parents wash their hands off them, today's society, lovely ain't it NOT.....

yout right, and now we have to have a security code at the gym because they sneak into the gym and get into trouble too. So now we are all having to code in and on top of that....all the things they do cause changes for all the good people who go by the rules......

eaforeman, how old were these kids?

wolfie, I learned that from experience of living in a small town, raising my kids & almost all the neighborhoods kids too! :)

these kids have ranged from 9 to 19 and they do it in groups, and then they run and hide. Whta really has me upset is that they are not paying members and most of them are not children of paying members so they are not even suppose to be here.

Oh yes, and they totaly broke off the legs on the umbrella table and all those new beautiful plants were up rooted and thrown into the pool. Dirt was everywhere and torn plants in the water .. Now because of them we only have one umbrella table and chairs where before we had two...
