Re: Neighbor kids hurassing my kids.
Any action against your son would be brought in juvenile court. It appears that the problems which you are having are no so much legal as social in nature. I suggest that you cooperate with the social services caseworker, and encourage a meeting with all of the neighbors which would be mediated by the social worker. For some reason the children are in conflict. There may be any number of reasons for the conflict, and the responsibility for the conflict may lie with any number of the children, including your son. A good meeting amongst the parents could resolve these problems before they create a serious neighborhood conflict. Each parent should realize that in most conflicts of this nature there is usually a little fault in all parties.
