If their parents don't want to deal with them, why on earth would they think the rest of the neighborhood would want to?

I also hate that said children play baseball in the street in front of our house after having broken a window last year and that they don't see a car coming up the street as reason enough to temporarily stop their game and move the heck out of the way. There are 3 fields/ grassy areas all within walking distance of our houses- go there! If their parents aren't attentive enough to tell them to shut the he*# up when they're screaming in the streets, hopefully it will only be a matter of time until the children realize that they could cross state-lines and their parents still probably wouldn't notice and will go play else where in the city.
