Stop letting your children roam, you assholes. Maybe keep your child off your neighbours property? Don’t make your child someone else’s pest and they won’t be treated as such.

Roaming children are a big problem, not to mention the entitlement of parents who think it’s ok to open their doors and let their children fuck off to do whatever on whoever’s property. Imagine if foster parents did that? They rightly have their foster child taken away and charged

As someone who has had neighbor's children randomly walk into my house and demand things like food, water (I won't say no to children, I'm not heartless), and use of my TV and internet. I'm sorry, but don't let kids be pest is unironic in some areas. Some people haven't socialized their kids properly and we were the ones who had to explain to these kids (4 to 6 year olds) that wandering without permission into other people's houses was not only inappropriate but dangerous to them. We, the strangers, telling these kids that they should be wary of strangers. The parents just didn't give a fuck and wouldn't even talk to us, but they were apparently fine with their kids roaming into stranger's homes. I'm glad we moved away.

Funny thing is that most children in the West nowadays are indoors children that only ever go outside to be driven between places.
