Why do kids have to reck things that arent theirs??

I am really sorry about your plants, sometimes kids can be such little horrors even if their parents are strict on them they can be horrors. But by the sounds of it the kids where you are run a bit wild. I would probably not say anything either even if I knew who the parents are, some of them can be funny about being told their kids have been naughty! Where I live just down the road there are a lot of bungalows where old people live. Over the course of the last year they have come together as a community and planted flowers and all sorts of lovely flowers. It is a real pleasure to walk down there and see all the beautiful flowers, I was taking the kids to school the other morning and the kids were really upset to see that someone had pulled a load of the flowers out of the pots and thrown them all over the pavement. I used this as an opportunity to explain that some children are not as nice as they are. They wanted to pick all the plants up and replant them for the ladies but we had to get to school but I thought it was a nice thought.
