Drives me crazy

2am, trying to get to sleep, then the doof doof idiots decided to do a tour around the neighbourhood. What is it that is so attractive about a sound system that is so loud it wakes people up and literally shakes the windows. My taxes are contributing to the health system that has to cover the hearing problems to come.
To rub salt into the wound. We got up this morning only to find some drunk a-hole decided to use our car as a target. At least a few hundred $ damage on the door. Drink + Saturday night = lunacy. Their mothers must be proud.
I tell you one thing. When my two sons were at that "thoughtless" age they knew better than to do stupid idiot stuff like that. Right from wrong is not rocket science. Consequences for actions is absolutely the only way to go.
Yes, I am getting on in years and some people may say I'm a little harsh. No matter the age, respect for other people and their property is surely not too much to ask.

Children -- the law as it stands in South Australia.
You are not allowed to yell at your child in desperation - verbal abuse.
You are not allowed to physically restrain them in any way.
I don't know what children are told at school now, but 25 - 30 years ago (I have 2 nieces) they were told they have rights - that they don't have to do what their parents tell them to (they had only been at school for one term). The reaction of some students was parents are adults, teachers are adults too --some children decided they didn't have to do what them told them to.---and they wonder why kids act up in class. Peer pressure is an issue in some cases too.
Some parents are desperate. I know of one girl at 16 y.o. who lived in a country town and used to climb out her bedroom window and go down into town. More than once she told her parents she was going to bed and said goodnight to them. They would check she was in her room, but when one of them checked later, she had gone. Many a time her Dad went and made her go home with him.
