"You have already spoken to the children involved in these altercations. You are correct that there could be liability if one or more of them are injured on your property. Contact the principal of the middle school and explain what has been going on. Once that's done, call or visit the police department and report that your yard is being turned into a battleground."
"I work from home a few days a week and live a block from the local middle school. Recently, I've broken up a group of kids in my yard hitting and fighting with each other. I don't know these kids, have no children in school and realize this is an ongoing issue. I'm not certain how to handle it. I could ignore it, but I'm afraid"
An individual who works from home and lives a block from a middle school has repeatedly broken up groups of students fighting on their property and feels unsure how to proceed. Potential responses considered include ignoring the incidents, reporting to police, or contacting the school despite lacking identifying information. Liability concerns arise if a child is injured on private property. The recommended actions are to notify the middle school principal about the ongoing behavior and to contact the police department to report that the yard is being used as a battleground. Reporting should prompt faster police response if future incidents occur.
