Picked up a fare tonight and took her to where she wanted to go and on route I noticed a bunch of kids around 10 years old and as I went to drive past them they hurled stones and rocks at my car. My immediate thought was to stop the car and get out and deal with it but I know if I had done this then the chances are that I would have been arrested and so I left it and carried on driving as I knew in the back of my mind that passenger safety was my main concern.
I dropped my passenger off and checked the car for damage and couldn't see anything. I then set off back the way I came and these same kids were still there. I slowed right down and they must have thought I was going to stop as they legged it through some alleyways into a maze of flats.
These kids know they can get away with it as its not easy to catch them as they know the area very well. The police are never around when you want them and the big question is.. "What are these kids of around 10 years old doing out on the street at 10.30pm at night". Do their parents not care where they are and what they are up to.
Apparently its becoming a regular occurrence Kids throwing objects and missiles at passing cars and buses and its happening all over.

Did you phone the police while you were dropping off your passenger, before you drove back to where it happened?
If you did, fair comment about the police not being there when you want or need them.
If not, how can you expect them to know exactly where the trouble was going to be at that precise moment in time?
