It might seem like a trivial issue. Yeah it’s just ding dong ditch. But if that had been a bunch of Blak or Brown kids and we’d been a white family you think the cops wouldn’t be called? You think the cops wouldn’t threaten charges of public nuisance? You think my kids wouldn’t end up in court? 🧵

the minute they can understand words with Black/Blak/Brown kids. They know the consequences of being shits. They know how quickly they’ll be villainised and demonised. They know they’ll be aged up and never given the benefit of the doubt or told “they’re just being kids”. It’s a different standard 🧵

to raise my voice, told them I was disappointed in their behaviour and I expected better and got apologies. We’ll see what happens over the next week or so but I don’t hold out hope of yt kids doing better. I can’t imagine my kids doing this crap at that age bc it’s a constant conversation from 🧵

But also stop your kid being a persistent little shit. You have no idea what people have going on in their homes and doing this repeatedly is fucked.

pint-sized petty crim daughter who couldn’t possibly have done anything wrong (despite being on camera) and “wasn’t even friends with the others” (despite walking with them and giggling at their plans). When told to go on her way her immediate response was “well I’m calling the police”. Okay Brenda🧵

thought we’d gone indoors to try again. We confronted them a second time. They lied again. They left blaming the youngest of their little gang. That one went crying to her mother because she’d been caught. The mother (you know she was so don’t ask) then came all sound and fury to defend her 🧵

house and ringing the RING doorbell and running off. Yeah ding dong ditch but the really foolish version where your face is recorded on camera. Some primary school some high school. Today we confronted them. The high school kids first. They lied. Said it wasn’t them. Then doubled back when they 🧵
