A homeowner sicced their two dogs on their neighbor's sons to stop them from trespassing on their property. OP tried to resolve the issue by talking to their neighbor but was promptly dismissed by the mom.

OP, their fiancé, and one-year-old are new to their neighborhood. One of their neighbors has three children aged 9, 12, and 14.

The kids weren't a lot of trouble initially. They were typical children running around in their scooters and throwing sticks at each other.

Their idea of fun seemed to be getting nearer and nearer to OP's house. The oldest sibling started by slinging trash at OP's yard, which their fiancé had to continuously clean up.

Then all three siblings combined their power to create a replica of an archeological excavation and dug holes in OP's yard. They knocked on their doors and tried to pick the lock on OP's front door.

OP approached the siblings' mom to talk about her sons' trespassing in their yard. She ignored OP's complaint which was on par with what OP heard about her parenting style.

OP found out that other neighbors alerted CPS about how much this mom left her children unsupervised. OP warned the neighbor that they had two large dogs who were trained to protect their home.

The mom said if her boys were harmed, she would have OP arrested and their dogs put down

OP planned something to teach their neighbor's kids a lesson

The children trespassed on their yard again, sucessfully unlocked the front door, and came face to face with OP's large dogs

The dogs chased after the children barking and growling until the end of OP's yard

The children ran home, screaming. OP commanded their dogs back to them as they were trained to do.

A few hours later, the mom and a police officer talked to OP. The mom complained that OP's dog bit her children.

OP showed the security camera footage of the siblings trying to break into OP's home. It also showed that none of the kids were bitten by the dogs.

OP didn't press charges against the kids for trespassing because it wasn't really their fault that they had a neglectful parent

OP did warn the mom to be more mindful of her children

OP should stay on guard in case the neighbor retaliates and targets the dogs

Mom even tried to get OP in trouble when she lied about her children getting bit by the dogs. Too bad OP had factual evidence on their side.

OP definitely taught those kids a lesson they won't forget

How neglectful has the mom been for CPS to know them by name?

Those kids are misbehaving because they don't have an active parent who actually cares about what happens to them. Heck, OP cares more about them more than their own mother.

Someone asked OP for dog tax. Here are their pups. This is Robbie who is scared of spoons.

... and Maybel who can't sleep without chewing on her stuffed toy

Looks like OP trained their dogs well. They know not to eat random food left on the ground without OP's command.

Those kids will have nightmares about Robbie and Maybel chasing them

I wouldn't attempt what OP did unless my dogs are well-trained. OP warned their neighbor about their children's trespassing hobby but she didn't listen.

OP deleted their account and hasn't posted any update if the neighbor's kids continued misbehaving. Would you have done what OP did to deter the kids from escalating their misguided actions?
