Teenagers breaking in, causing troubles and attacking residents, stealing parcels and etc. What should we do about them? I really am scared for everyone’s safety. It’s pathetic how I being a grown adult, is so scared of those little kids.

PS, just got the video from our facebook group. Gardas were notified and said they will be coming. Don’t know what happened next but those same kids are still coming back everyday.
Don’t go anywhere near them unless you are ready for all out war.
Anti-theft paint, water sprinklers or a big fuck off ravenous pitbull
I’d make sure to get as much useable video of them as possible so those involved can’t deny being there, obviously parents are part of this and they need to see what’s going on via the guards. Are the residents talking to each other about this?
I would persistently call garda every single time, hopefully eventually they do something. Also write to social services, loca TD.
Collaborate with the neighbours who also suffered from these little shites, so you can widen your actions.
Collect evidence, video footage, record time and places where attacks happened.
Maybe then you could start legal case against parents?
Grease the railing. At least it will annoy them when it gets on their hands and clothes
Don’t engeage with these fuckers. If they have no problem doing that in broad daylight they could get agressive.
Call the guards. Get anti climb paint on the fence, and some signs.
Call the Garda and tell them there is a high chance a child is going to get attacked and hurt in about 10mins. I’m not even joking – it worked for me.
Get out there with a hurley stick ffs
Electrify the Fence.
Back in my day we were too stoned or drunk to be carrying on like this. You see this happening all around the country and I really wonder is it related ha
Seriously though, some good advice in the thread.
If yourself or the neighbours know their parents get onto them and let them know what the kids are at. If they’re any way decent they’ll be mortified and may at least tell them to stay away from your row/estate. That’s if they’re any way approachable.
Euthanise
Air soft rifle. That prick is moving slower than my grandmother getting over that fence. They wouldn’t even know where it was coming from.
Lovely sharp spikes or razorwire.. with a big sign saying no one accepts responsibility if someone tries to climb and hurts themselves… or my personal favourite is simply a german shepard in my garden.. people dont hop my wall ever
barbed wire would soften their cough or wait with a hurl and they won’t be long fucking off
Those teenagers are one of the many reasons why Ireland really sucks as a society.
Keep topping the fence with anti-climb paint/grease. It’s a non drying paint that will destroy their hands and clothes! 😂
Just don’t announce that *you’re* the one doing the painting just in case one of the little angles slips and breaks a bone! 👍
Motor oil and grease on the top of every railing.
Leave eggs outside for a while in the heat then proceed to throw poop at them like an angry monkey.

Wipe dog shit on the top of the fence 👍
We decided to make kids immune from real consequences for their actions a few years ago. They know this and exploit it.
Remember the youths kicking out at the face of the girl running to catch her train, and the other one who jumped at her and she ended up falling from the platform?
They got a slap on the wrist and referred to the Juvenile Liaison Office.
They are immune from the laws here until the reach 18.O heard a discussion on *The Late Debate* on RTE Radio 1 a month ago where all agreed that we should ‘blight young people’s futures for ‘mistakes made at 19 or 20 either’, and refer them to the JLO too.
‘Or extend this to age 23,’ one of the guests added, to murmurs of approval.
I’ll tell ya what we did in the 90s.
Put on a hat and a scarf, smash a bottle, take the glass and sticky back tape – put the tape on top of the railing on the section where they’re climbing over and sprinkle the glass on the tape.
They’ll slice their hands to absolute ribbons and they won’t be back.
I still have scars on my hands from climbing a wall I shouldn’t have – never tried again.
Edit: make sure the glass is smashed up good – you want pebbles not shards – shards can cause permanent damage, pebbles will just open up the skin in an extremely bloody and painful manner
We must mass email all TDs and force this subject to be discussed at the Dáil. It is the minimum we can do tbh.
My FIL had a similar problem. He spread horse shit ‘fertiliser’ on the flower beds, greased the railings and left his water sprinkler on. Between the smell, the slipping and the spraying the teens just weren’t bothered any more.
Get the ‘RA to pay them a visit
Wear a mask, hoodie, shades and baseball cap and whoop the life out of them. Nobody knows its you and it can’t be proven in court.
We have similar problem. I live in Ballymun and little scumbags were coming to apartment blocks to sit on the stairs and making mess a causing trouble to people. It got it to level of tretening to people living here. Some of us were more or less successful in keeping them away but not too much. So we made neighbor WhatsApp group and organise ourselves. Went to garda file group complain and also city officials. Now we have more garda patrols and they actually respond (most of the time) when called. And more people are not afraid to confront them as we back each other up. Texting to group if the teens are seen somewere around etc. It’s not perfect solution but it seems to keep most of these little fuc*ers away as it is too much hustle.
