We saw you, our neighbours saw you. We will watch for you, the cops and the fire departments are watching for you.

But I'd like to address the parents of the three teenage boys who so wisely started a fire behind Hawthorne School on Wednesday night at 12:45 and threw fireworks into said fire which subsequently launched at the houses backing onto the schools property. What a fantastic job you parents have done raising your sons! Worst case scenario is that they only would have burned someone (perhaps my baby daughter or our elderly neighbour) to death in their sleep.

I can only hope that one day at least one of you parents has to deal with one of your sons blowing their own hand off with one of their precious fireworks. Maybe then you'll realize teaching them a little respect and responsibility might have been worth your while. —Neighbourhood Watcher
