Parents’ help needed to stop neighborhood pranks

There is a group of male juveniles annoying the neighborhoods of Hunter’s Ridge. They bang on homes, ring doorbells, and toss snowballs at the siding in winter. This probably sounds like simple kids’ pranks, but not only do they run away, they also shout obscenities at those who try to confront them. There are older residents and handicapped in these homes who have a difficult time getting to the door. Of course some are already down for the night, as this usually happens after 9:30 p.m. Now, there is the expense of the additional security cameras. This has been going on for at least a year. Marion Police do what they can. It still does not stop, but wouldn’t one think that the boys’ parents could end this harassment?
