Little boy upstairs about 7-8y.o. is very destructive. He breaks glass all over the place,throws sticks at the house,air conditioners,ect. He has broken everything I put outside for decorations for holidays. I put a mosaic planter UNDER the porch only to come out the next day and find it smashed to bits on the ground. Today I came outside and found my butterfly decoration mutilated. My man went upstairs to talk to his mother about supervising him. She got all ghetto on him. Long story short she said things that were very immature and ignorant. How do I deal w/ nast ppl like her? She refuses to accept responsibility for her hell raising son! These issues NEVER arose b4 she moved in.
I hate that there is going to be tension whenever our paths cross.
I hope she does not try to get stupid w/ me because of this. I wish she would move away. Am I wrong to feel this way?

Why don't you call the police and find out what they can do about him he is destroying YOUR property there must be something that can be done. Call the police.

Get videos of the child being destructive if you can, and take pictures. Document every damage done, and be sure to keep receipts and invoces for repairs or replacements. Speak to the mother one more time, ask for restitution, and when she refuses file a police report. Then go to small claims court.
In the meantime, stop putting out breakable decorations that the child can get to. If you have a landlord, complain to them about the child's destructiveness. As a last resort but if you must, move.
A mean-streak in me has devised an elaborate plan involving paintballs or clothing dye, but the last thing you want to do is harm the kid somehow because then, suddenly, YOU are the bad person, and YOU are facing police and a lawsuit. Remain as neutral but firm as possible. Avoid doing anything harmful or threatening to kid or mom.
Sorry... good luck.

No your not. That sucks that she can't control her child. I have 2 boys myself and if they acted like that they wouldn't be going outside to play. I would talk to your landlord, there is no hope for a civil relationship here, you tried that and she got "ghetto". Tell him about everything the little boy has broke. I would keep track of when and what he breaks so you have dates and objects not just complaints. Sorry you have to live in that environment, even sorrier for the poor boy who obviously doesn't have a very good parental figure how is he goi8ng to learn how to deal in the real world. Another deliquent from the sounds of it.

Wow, what a mess. The only solution I can think of is for you to approach this kid and ask him to help you hang up something because you want to make the neighborhood look nicer. Buy something pretty (but cheap in case this plan doesn't work!) Maybe if you give the kid a little bit of direction (since he sure isn't getting it from his mom), that he'd be less likely to be destructive. Poor kid. Stupid mother.

Set up a video camera and catch his little A** on tape. Then, call the cops as well as CHILD WELFARE! Once all that is said and done, I'd file a law suit on his parents. I hate kids like that, but I hate parents who act so stupid even more. No wonder their son turned out the way he is!
Good luck!!!!

Its ok to feel that way but i think......i have no idea. If u yell at the kid the mother might get mad at u and move away (i highly doubt it). maybe not. I say to people don't take my advice so i am saying it to u. unless u think it will work, go ahead but don't come crying to be if it does not work.

You're not in the wrong here.
Best suggestion would be is to maybe call the police if this "adult" and you can't come to a conclusion yourselves.
I hate little brats like that.

Make friends with him. He really needs a friend. Bring him a Popsicle and ask him things he likes to do. Make him your friend and he will watch out for your things even if he doesn't quit destroying everyone Else's. He just needs a friend.
