Rude, bullying children in Goose Green Playground

Hello

I wanted to see if any other parents or carers have noticed a group of c. 4 children approximately ranging 8yo-13yo (three boys and a girl yesterday) being very rude and disruptive in Goose Green Playground over the last week or so. Yesterday they were there again and three were wearing all black, one wearing grey tracksuit. They repeatedly take balls from children and kick them over the fence to the road, swear/shout at kids and adults. One wrestled my son to the ground when he was there on his own the other day, and another pushed his friend to the ground making him cry. Our nanny observed them yesterday and tried to talk to them but they shouted and swore at her as well when she asked them to play nicely.

I don't quite know how to deal with this if the kids are just as rude to adults as well as other children. I enjoy giving my son freedom by letting him go there on his own after a long day of homeschooling and being cooped up--it's his one joy at the moment!--so I don't want to have to take that away from him. Then again, we can't let our children go somewhere where there are kids repeatedly doing this and putting them in harm's way. If the child that is pushing and wrestling other children to the ground was 18 I would have called the police!

Thoughts?

I would call the police if I witnessed this behaviour it needs to nipped in the bud as quickly as possible. Kicking balls over fence towards the road is dangerous and stupid

A car could swerve and crash or a child could go into the road to retrieve the ball or any other object thrown by the idiots..

Next time contact the police or park wardens as mentioned by CORA and B&G

      BAD ADVICE FROM HOLLAND & BARRETT

      I've found it quite a useful thread.  Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them.   https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders

      What helps you keep on top of your home?

      Personally can’t stand carpets however where I am renting has carpet in  bedroom and hall. Not great quality and certainly not cleaned. Was  in B & M recently and looking at carpet shampoo -wow got a can costing £2.99 to test.. No scrubbing as others seemed to imply. Spray, leave and poof - smells great, no dabbing or scrubbing and c leaving rubbish. First to admit is only temp solution but no need to hire carpet cleaner instantly  or pay for a company to come and deal with professionally. For 3/6 months happy to have used this - Have a carpet cleaner and in a month or so plan to use it.    Buy a steam cleaner for floors - not expensive - much better than mop and bucket and more hygienic all round. Can pick up second hand ones on e bay.

      Is this a true story? What protein powder causes kidney damage? Why didn't you cite an article? I shop at H&B, mostly to buy their castor oil, however, I would recommend researching any product beforehand. They do have very informative articles on their website. To be honest, I don't see the point of this post. You could have just taken the product back for a refund or complained in store and in writing.

      Love Dulwich rebranding as Turkish Restaurant

      By beansprout · Posted

      Well the Italian on Lordship Lane  recommended here was delicious.  Thank you so very much -my party were extremely pleased with ambience, location and lovely food plus puddings to die for. They are also on Deliveroo.  Will certainly be back when I am back in 6 weeks time. Went past Love Dulwich at lunchtime on my way to Italian - only a party of 2 - food might be excellent but decided to give it a miss - wasn’t impressed with manager who admitted he had only been there 2 weeks. Might be being totally unfair but doubt it, as no comments since about a month ago from Pugwash.
