Now the mother wants to press charges. They should charge her for being a bad parent.

Lol I saw that on the news earlier this evening.
Reminded me of when my neighbour caught two youths breaking into his shed, he wacked one of them with a pick shaft & knocked him out. His mate ran away & called the police, when they arrived the other lad had recovered & "done a bunk"
Police wanted to know where the lad was & my neighbour just played dumb. The mate was so worried the first lad was dead he made a full confession inc. several other break & enters in the area.
Cops went to their houses found a multitude of stolen goods as well as the lad with an almighty bump on his head. Police went through the motions of questioning my neighbour, not intently enough to prove anything & a few weeks later he came to my house to get his pick shaft back
I know vigilante action should be condoned but sometimes you just have to smile when the thieving scumbags get a good kicking

Absolutely and Mr PP and I would have no problems in doing just that if someone tried to get on our property.

One family down our way, wont go near our garden since one of their bastard kids tried to get over the top of our gate, not expecting 22kgs of angry Kelpie to throw himself at the gate, knocking the little shit clean off to the floor.

Seriously, break into my house and I do not give a shit - I will hurt whoever does it, no matter how young/old they are. PMT is a terrible thing to suffer from and hormones can rule your life and make you do dreadful things when pushed to your limits and my limit is very quickly reached at the mere thought of some lazy arsed good for nothing man/woman/child that wants to take what we work for.

Just leave no visible evidence.

Well then. Lock me up for life since I'm obviously a bad parent. My 14 year old son has been in trouble with the law, so guess that means it's all my fault. Of course his father had nothing to do with it. Or his own decision making skills/choice of mates.

Kids go off the rails no matter how nice/wonderful the parents are - they can do their best and it wont be good enough.

However, whoever you are - break into my house and it is at your peril.
