I took my son (7) and six of his friends to the neighborhood park today. I always scoop up as many as I can so they can all play together. Everyone was having a great time until another boy showed up with no parents to be seen and started yelling and cussing for no reason at the other kids. I tried to stay calm and watch to see how the kids would handle the situation or if this kids parents might hear him and show up but nothing. This child was older about 13 or 14 and the children I was watching were from 7 to 10. When this teenager grabbed another child in his private area and sqeezed as hard as he could and screamed suck my d--- I jumped up and told this child that he needed to leave the other children alone and told the other kids to go play in another area of the park. This teenager then charged one of the other boys punched him and shoved him to the ground. I told the boy that if he put his hands on anyone else I would call the police. He then grabbed my sons soccer ball pulled a knife out of his pocket and popped it. I told him to go get his parents and he tried to hit me 3 times I backed away with out getting hit and his parents finally came around the corner beers in hand and started cussing me out and told me thier son can do what he wants. I'm not really sure what to do at this point this kid needs help and obviously his parents don't care. Should I call the police on a kid? I'm afraid if I don't someone is gonna get seriously hurt.
And if there was a 5 year difference between him and the kid who he grappled his private area, that is sexual abuse. Calling the cops is doing a favor to the older kid. He needs major help
Thank you guys for responding! I will go file a report tomorrow. I wish I had called right away. I'm kinda the self nominated block mother to the neighborhood kids and have been for the past 5 years. I have never seen anything like this and have been in shock most of the day. I really love kids and it's hard for me to get the police involved with a child but wow this one was the worst I have ever seen.

I agree with this - he's a bully but he's also most likely a victim. You need to protect your own kid and the ones you were looking after, but it may also have the benefit of getting this kid some help too.
Why would you NOT call the police the minute a teenager, who had already assaulted a child, pulled out a knife?
