I agree with everything in the above message. My parents are nearly in there 80's and have had problems on and off for 5 years, this has caused their health to deteriorate, no one ever visits them about this problem. I have insisted they don't challenge as you never know what will happen next. It is criminal damage and they at 14 or so they should face the concequencies of their actions.

   Why do we have to have "contracts" to make them behave? We all already have a contract, and it's called THE LAW. "climbing into people’s gardens and on the roofs of local schools" so trespassing (possibly with criminal damage if anything gets broken), and "throwing water bombs at people" - so common assault. All these things are illegal. If they were caught shop-lifting or robbing people, would we just ask them nicely to stop? All because we can't actualy prosecute because "they're too young and the little darlings know what they're doing". I knew that was wrong at that age, and so should they.
