New York man facing criminal charges for stopping vandals

"So now one of the parents is saying he went to far and grabbed his kid by the throat and threatened to smash his head in and he thinks there should be more charges.."

I'd say he did not go far enough he didn't do he should have little bastards

As to locking all of them in a closet, what was the point of that? According to the news story, he knew whose kids they were, so it just sounds like he wanted to exercise his authority over 4 8 to 10 yr olds. What a big man!

The point was to keep them at the scene until the police arrived and prove they were the ones who did the damage. If he let them leave it would be his word against theirs.

How is having them locked inside a closet proof of what they did? Unless there was good reason to doubt him, why would the police not have just accepted his word for what he saw? It's not like detaining them provides absolute corroboration of his claims.

The rugrats were not harmed so why are you siding against the victim? And excuse me but his property, he does have authority. People like you are the reason there are criminal children like that.

I'm not siding against the victim, I was just curious why it took him so long to hear what was going on next door. Aren't you?

Children are wards of the state until they are 21, until that time they are considered the property of the state.

By locking them in a closet, he potentially damaged state property.

Honestly, that is how it works!.

The only entities which can deal with state property are agents of the state.

He should have called the police.

Never mind the parents, they ignorantly think those are their children, when in fact they are only custodians of state property.
