At least she has rules for her child to abide by and has an interest in what her child is doing. There are several parent's who have NO idea what is going on with their kids or what they are doing till 10:00 pm. You can tell, drive around the neighborhood, see the groups of kids just hanging on 105th street St. Louis and Lawndale...up to NO GOOD. Neighbors are tired of this group, they are nothing but trouble and the parent's think they do no wrong. Summer is almost over so school will start soon and hopefully parent's will keep their kids in on week nights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637815564696693043.post-65995760867820283802009-07-22T20:22:12.962-05:002009-07-22T20:22:12.962-05:00I agree with both parent's about curfew.

I've told my kds, no more!!! Find something to do, play f-ball, b-ball something other than sitting on a corner. Neighbors are sick and tired of the same group of boys hanging on the corners, recently a stink bomb was put in the mailbox, these kids are bored. Parent's do you know what your kids are doing when they are out till 10:00pm??? CPD needs to keep on these kids to keep them from getting in trouble. They should be able to go to MTG park but the fighting which is "fun" according to them needs to stop, that's where parent's come in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637815564696693043.post-3020937070135901442009-07-22T16:50:29.764-05:002009-07-22T16:50:29.764-05:00Well I guess I will get a lot of hate comments for...Well I guess I will get a lot of hate comments for this but here goes............<br />MAYBE the kids wouldn't be fighting at Mt.

Just FYI though, the woman and second child on the corner behind us were my wife and son on 115th and CP also trying to cross, not that that excuses my language. I will be more aware of it. I was very angry! I almost got splattered along with my 7 yr old daughter! To all the other posters, how come so few of you use your names or screen names? Are some of you afraid to stand by what you say? Stand up for what you believe. Thats the only way to instigate change! I know, its easy to hide behind a keyboard and say whatever you want 'anonymously'. But, thats probably why our CAPS meetings only have about the same 4 senior citizens every month and I stopped wasting my time going, not to mention Fran talks out of both sides of her mouth. By the way, someone had asked on an earlier post, they are the 3rd Thursday of the month at 6PM (as of a year ago). And, in response to the poster that says Nippsy and I should move in together and moan about the old times-first of all, I am only 32 and have only lived in Mt. Greenwood for 6 yrs, so I am not old. Second of all, you are right, although I am new to this blog, I dig what Nippsy says and do agree with her a lot. Some of us cops, firemen, and city workers actually care about a quality of life and we need to stand up to those (and their offspring) that don't! Nobody here is above the law (even though it seems that way sometimes). Considering most of us are colleagues in some way, shape, or form you'd think we could all get along a little bit better. By the way, I am John Pape and I stand behind what I say.
