I was out running an errand, of course. When I got home at 9:45 and my wife told me I immediately went down and knocked on the door loudly and with great authority. The mother finally answered the door.

I informed her that kind of thing would NOT be going on in our neighborhood because we have at least 8 small children on this street alone. I also let her know that the next time things even looked like the MIGHT be getting out of control the first response was going to be call to the police and that I would come out to handle the situation myself while we waited. I further informed her that if, at any point, I felt threatened by the situation I would be pressing charges.

I think she got the picture.

Also, if I happen to catch little Paco outside he and I are also going to discuss manners and civilized behavior.
