Pls, what is the best and and most effective method, to handle children in the compound, that will leave their books and boards, and go to your car and be carving/scratching/drawing/painting,
123456, ABCD, F** *you, this is after you must have informed every parent in the compound..
Should their parents be invited by the police?
Should their parents be made to pay for d paint job?
Does it even concern their parents, not to talk of punishing them..
Thanks ..

You are on point. It all depends on the kind of environment where the Op resides in.

He should get a car cover and use it when the car is parked in the compound.

Children will always be children. You can't take that away from them. Try making friends with them and reward them with Biscuits for those who stay out of your car (seek permission from their parents first though before handing anything to any of them).

Get a car cover and save yourself the worries.

Wait wait wait......

I stay in a spacious compound with 4 flats, 3 flats are car owners.

However, one set of children have made it a habit of scratching my car, they never ever scratch their Father's car.

Been wondering what to do....

In United States or other developed countries, the parents would pay for damage done by their wards on your car as long as you parked in the right place and it's of no fault of yours.

In Nigeria you can either shout at the children and cause emnity between you and your neighbor or take it as a call to Glory of your paint job grin and do nothing.

my brother in-law also went through such and he accepted his fate because he never even caught the kid doing it.

I will just buy a car cover this weekend, but I can't imagine the stress of covering and uncovering the car,
Just pray it doesn't stain my work shirts..

Wrong thinking.

You likely did worse when you were a child.

Beat the child and something bad happens to the child afterwards, nobody will talk about your car again. It will be a completely different story.

But when I'm being trampled upon, I'll rather be an island.
I'll beat my kids if I found the doing such to a neighbour.

How rational is your assumption about what I did?

I said beat, not take out my frustration on the child.

Most of the times, beating does not solve anything especially in the long run.

Again, you cannot stop children from being children.

Get close to them, earn their trust, be friends with them and counsel them, these way, they will listen to you.

But again, this is Nigeria, do as you wish.

Invite your friends who are SARS officers to threaten the living day light out of the kids, if the parents talk trash or talk tough, go tough on the parents.

That was how I just finished respraying my car for Xmas that year. It was so black and shiny cheesy I washed and waxed it one evening to use for the next day.

Slept and woke, brush and baff, dress and chop. Comot for house come see my shining car, I smile cool

Walked round to open the door and saw three big letters ‘ U G O ‘ scratched just across my driver door. I stood still and looked at it very well, and realized yes... it was my own name spelled right there

Darned kids angry friends saw it and thought they waybilled the car to me. I was explaining for the first six months after that unsolicited branding

Op there’s nothing you can do about it. Get the car cover if you like but you can’t cover your car every time so if it will happen it will happen.

Just pray they write something that makes sense, like your name on your own too.

Some kids used a stone to draw what was supposed to be a very large dog or horse on my car..

When I identified the kids, I went and met their parents and told them what their kids had done and that i would really appreciate it if they make their kids understand that a car is not a blackboard to be written or drawn or scratched on ....I even offered to buy the kids a blackboard the next day...

Parents shockingly went all Rambo on me, telling me how children are a blessing from God and how any God-fearing person will not stop kids from being kids...They even asked me how much my car was worth sef that I will not let them and their kids hear word...they made out of me a Satan who wants to dampen their kids enjoyment of life simply because they scratched my Jalopy...

I quietly left their house and filed a criminal case against both parents and their kids (with their parents as their guardians) in court for trespass, criminal intimidation and damage to property and conspiracy, aiding and abetting their kids to commit these offences...Cumulatively, the prison term upon conviction for these offences is about 7 years each for each parent...

I further filed a civil case against them for negligence, claiming against them a total bodywork and repainting of my car at Elizade, and 10 million naira General Damages...

In the criminal case, both parents had to sleep in prison for a weekend as they could not perfect the bail conditions issued by the Judge. ..They even hired a lawyer who came and denied that it was their kids who damaged my car...

Unfortunately for them, I had phone call recordings of them admitting their kids did it, and I should do my worst...

Long story short, they went and begged our estate residents' association to come and beg me to forgive. ..last last, before i withdrew both cases against them, they refunded me all the expenses I had incurred in prosecuting the case against them and still paid for a full bodywork and paint of my car at one Kazeem's place...and he did a very nice Job...

Now their kids don't even scratch the compound gate or even wall grin .....

And to imagine a simple "I am sorry for this...I will make sure my kids don't do such again" would have saved them all these wahala...

Kids are kids...agreed...but as their parent or guardian, one has a duty to make sure they do not damage people's property
