We live in a complex of houses that has an open yard area, no private fencing. This little boy lives across the way from us and is sometimes unsupervised and plays outside with his older brother, I think his older brother is about 6. The 2 year old comes to our area (yard) and will destroy our personal belongings around our home (decorative walking stones, plants, etc.) And the worst is he bites, kicks, punches, slaps, chases, pulls my daughters hair, constantly yells "¡cállate!" at the top of his lungs at EVERYONE, even adults.
My main issue is when he bit my daughter so hard on her cheek, it drew blood I went to his door and talked to his parents. Although there was a language barrier, they did apologize, however, his behavior is exactly the same. He has since bit her on the arm, back and hand. Once even came into my own house and did it! What should I do??? I'm thinking if it happens again, I will get the police involved?? Any thoughts? I'm at my wits end!

yes call the police ask for someone who can speak their language. When they arrive tell them whats going on and you dont want to press any charges but want to keep peace between the 2 of your families and that you want it understood that the next time your child gets hurt they will be responsible for the dr bill.and if that doesn't remedy the situation the police will be called and charges will discuss. your child's safety is important and this 2 yr olds manners need tending to and if the parents wont tend to it then maybe a call to you local children's safety advocate will in my area they are called dcf

You say this boy is unsupervised and goes around doing this...well I say you are just as much to blame, knowing that he is around and a biter you are letting your daughter get into the yard UNSUPERVISED and leaving your front door open so he can come in and even when he is there you are not Supervising the children because if you were you would have caught him when he tried and stopped him or at the least disciplined him...he is in your home, subject to your rules...remember that. If his parents dont like it they will keep him from going over.
That being said, If I were you I would make doubly sure my children did not have any thing to do with this kid...You could get the authorities involved but most times the only ones that could do anything would be family services....if he is running about being a nuisance it would seem that his parents were unfit parents...

Absolutely call family services and the police. Don't wait until next time do it now!!!
A 2 year old cannot be supervised by a 6 year old for starters. And your child should not have to put up with this- NOT ONE MORE TIME!!!
Please call the authorities now!!! Not only for your child's sake but for the sake of these out of control, unsupervised children. You'll be helping them as well.

Definitely get the police involved. Have them make a report so that when your child ends up going to the hospital, you can file suit against the parents for the doctor bills. Have the police tell his parents that you intend to do this the next time it happens. That may stop the problem.

If his behavior is unchanged and the parents are not giving proper supervision then I would call the police. I can't even imagine how you have been able to control yourself and why are a six and two year old outside without supervision...you can't do that in today's world. If the police can't do anything then you may have to keep your daughter inside and take her to a park where she won't be assaulted constantly...poor little thing.

Sounds like his parents have no control over him. I would talk to the police and if they do nothing, then talk to human services. The little boy can't go around biting and hitting. In the mean time try to keep him away from your daughter.

absolutely get the police involved.Sounds to me like you should contact children's service and get them involved too.A 2 and 6 yr. old has no business being unsupervised at anytime.This is neglect on the parents part.If it were my daughter the first time it happened I would've went to the parents and called the cops the second time.This is going to scar you're daughter for the rest of her life,not only physically but,emotionally too.She may not trust kids or even people in general.

I would go first and complain to the complex manager and if that does not work the next time I would call the police. Because you don't want to be accused of any wrong doings

That's horrible. That child is just... wild! Telling the police is not bad but I think it's a better idea to just move. Leave the child alone. I just pity you daughter

When I read this my first instinct was to tell you to call the police.
Either that or tell your daughter to bite the little bast**d back.
Just a thought: Technically you have a civil suit here if the police can't do anything. Judge Judy would side with you in a heartbeat.
