Find out who their landlord is and explain the situation...hopefully, if it is a ar respectable person, he will throw the family of troublemakers out.Another thing that I would do is call CPS.By the way the parents have reacted to your concerns shows that they really don't care how their brats are acting & by not doing anything about it shows that they are actually encouraging their violent behavior...they are as rotten as their kids. This is what I would consider irresponsible parenting...and its just going to get worse....and something has got to be done about it.
If you are able to, you might want to have a lawyer's input...in some states, parents can be hauled into court & sued for their children's behavior.

those are my same first thoughts. Not knowing the situation firsthand, I would concider those same options...and in that same order...landlord, CPS, court. In the event that you will need it, I would begin documenting everythng, starting today. Times, persons, attempts to discuss it civilly with parents, anymore vandalism (broken glass, littering what have you) etc, write it all down, even better photograph, and video what you can.

I agree with this 100 per cent.I think the parents are being neglectful to their children.I would call CPS .

Definitely call CPS! And the landlord!

get evidence first before calling CPS. Do u have a video camera or could borrow one so that you have it on tape. Its worth it, becaue theirs the evidence and the date on the bottom to prove it. especially all hours out every nite.
I wouldnt deal with it very good. Id be telling them after some evidence, this stops now or Ill go farther and put it in the laws hands. and if they dont seem to care about what u said. They will when CPS has the evidence.
U have to prove to CPS without starting something u may not be able to prove. Believe me when i say I know what u mean.

update!!! i have confermation that those butholes are moving!!!most likely next month. they bought a house!! how do people like them get things so easy.anyway at least there leaving. but i have a feeling there gonna be up to no good before they go. yesterday the oldest asked my son why he was talkin bout his mother . i told him don't talk to my kid. he was like my kid is no angel. i told him and what u and ur brothers are?i also said my kids don't disrespect your parents so stop comming by here talking to me and if you hang around and bug us the cops will go to your house everyday weather u are moving or not. seriously they should just be deported. anyway had to reply the good news. now we just have to wait til i see those moving trucks because i will buy me a bottle of good ol jack daniels and have a party!!
