We had an open field behind our house growing up. We built 2 wooden forts and had wars where you had to sneak through the woods and tall grass to capture the flag on the other fort.
Friend had an open field behind his house too.
Shot so so many fireworks. Once the fire department came out there was so much smoke.
Bottle rocket wars.
Burring artillery shells in the sand.
He also had a massive three person sling shot that we launched water balloons at the tennis court. We turned to the street further away and once hit a car and it crashed into a tree probably because it scared the shite out of them. No idea what his parents were thinking giving that to him.
As the clubhouse with the pool one new years eve kids we fricking with my little brother so my buddies and I beat the snot out of them. Pelted them with tennis balls and threw them in the freezing cold pool (it was a very cold new years eve).
One friends dumb arse little brother once lite a roman candle in the car and couldn't get the window open to shoot it out.

Are they renting the house? If so I know who they are because they just got evicted from my street and for your description.

Why not walk with the kids down to their house and mention you are worried about the one in diapers roaming around. The older kids may be taking him outside to play and then running off.

They don't speak enough English to even get this point across. I'd have to resort to some sort of crude sign language for them to even know what I was saying.

Call the cops (seems like a dick move)
Lure the kids over to your house and keep them there for several hours by feeding them or showing them cartoons or whatever people do to placate kids. Eventually mom will freak out and start knocking doors. Tell her they just wandered over and y’all have been hanging out. She’ll start watching them to keep them away from you.

Great.

Are you sure?
The vast majority of immigrant families have someone who is fluent enough in English to get everyone by. How could they communicate with the people they rented the house from our got the van from?
Maybe they’re more comfortable speaking their native language, but someone in that house speaks English. Maybe one of the kids?

I hear you loud and clear, but isn't one of the kids a baby?
Yeah, if the toddler can't stay in the yard and is only being watched by a 5 yr old that is a problem... Maybe he could put an anonymous note in their mailbox with his concerns about the toddler and give them a chance to do something before calling the authorities on them?
ETA:
Just saw the post about them nit speaking English. I would still try to fins a way to communicate and give them a chance first.

They're like pool balls. The harder you hit them, the more English you get

I'd probably call the police, tell them there are kids outside, without adult supervision and that you think the youngest one has a bomb in their diaper.
Police will come, go talk to the mother, inform her that someone called and was concerned the little one had a bomb in his diaper... It will likely result in her not allowing the kids to go out on their own.. Or they might move.

So... make a fake bomb threat? That will fix everything. Good thinking, Oweo.

Go over and start teaching the kids English, American tales of bravery, and Traditional Judeo-Christian values in the front yard. Complete with crafts and everything.
If the parents freak out, great - they are now taking responsibility for their own kids. If they don't, at least someone is raising them right.

Wow, I knew you were a lot of things but I didn't a POS was one of them
Hopefully they tell the police you've got one strapped to the bottom of your wheel chair

To keep demons in you draw a pentagram inside a circle. To keep vampires out you use crosses and garlic. To keep middle easterners in I think you sprinkle a circle of bacos around their house.

Do you live in Jefferson Terrace by chance ?
Posted on 6/5/18 at 9:45 pm to lsuwontonwrap
I hate people who let their kids roam the neighborhood streets. We aren’t talking 12 year old boys here riding bikes. I saw several 6-8 year olds sitting in the street with no adult to be seen

My first house, a little starter home, was in one of those cookie cutter DR Horten subdivisions. It started out nice, but after a few years a lot of the houses became rental units and thus lured in the families with 5 kids and parents still in their 20s. The damn streets looked like a damn summer camp with all the kids. People would put basketball goals at the end of their driveways facing the street with about 20 kids playing...they'd get pissed for having to stop the game to let you pass. It was awful, so glad to be out of there.
