      These kids need an arm or a leg broken, just like the old days, when the New York Post reported that we take care of our own problems.

    When the MTA stops service on these lines to the Beach then maybe the adults who will suffer will be the wonderful parents of these wonderful children.. Halloween is done and over. it is history and nothing happened to anyone involved in the mischief, they (kids) know now their parents yell louder then anyone else and are dum enough to protect them so things are only going to get more serious

    Thanks jerk off kids for making me have to walk two miles everyday to a train while you get to sit home and throw ice at stuff and your parents do nothing. I don’t see why I’d beat my kids ass if I caught them doing that, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these parents actually joined in the ice throwing fun…..nothing in this neighborhood seems to amaze me anymore. The kids of today will run the gerrittsen beach name even further into the ground for further generations to come

      sad state of affairs. and yes this neighborhood’s rep is getting worse..making it very hard to retain property values and sell houses. people see and hear all of this and no longer think of this as the great place to raise a family that most of us know it to be…one bad apple gan spoil a whole bunch….many good people(and their kids) live here and will suffer the consequences of a few!

    I moved here a few years ago and I am raising 2 babies. I absolutely refuse to stay here now that I see how this neighborhood really is. The kids are degenerates. I can’t take my kids to the park on the ave without seeing used condoms, broken beer bottles and food thrown around. Who the fuck teaches these kids respect? The parents, if not drunk or stoned, should take a minute and realize that they are doing a fucked-up job and do something about it. And let me add something else, if one of these little pricks dare to throw something at me when I’m with my kids I swear to God I will beat the shit out of one of ‘em and if their parent (if sober enough to know what’s going on) has a problem with that ill smack the shit out of them too.

      I agree with you 100% ,It is just a matter of time before this once nice area turns into a Total Waste Land. Time to Find a Nice peaceful Community close to the City to live in.(If there is such a place left)

      I really feel sorry for you DISGUSTED> Not everybody in this neighborhood is like this. There are many fine people and children here. I really don’t blame you though for not sticking around to find out. You have a very bad taste in your mouth and have seen the worst of this community because they don’t bother to hide. Various things have happend around my home too and I too have told them, one thing happens to my child or myself, you will have two bullets in your fucking head and I really don’t care what happens next. I will know that you really really deserved.

      Why do you and so many others harp on “parents drunk or stoned”? I grew up here in the 60′s and my parents were neither drunk or stoned they just trusted me. I didn’t deserve their trust, but that wasn’t their fault.

        So will a few calls to ACS. When will all of you who know names and constantly complain really do something about it. Complaining does nothing. All it takes is a anon call to 311 and the videos and photos from this website and the news. You will be saving these misguided kids and our neighborhood. Stop complaining and take some action already.

    Its obvious the parents are never going to do anything about their childrens behavior. Lets face it, shit breeds more shit, and these kids are going to become exactly like their parents, and breed even MORE shit. The only way to stop these kids, and their alcohol soaked, drug addled parents is to catch them in the act and submit pictures and videos over to the authorities

    This will eventually lead to public transit being discontinued in the neighborhood. If any of you are curious what a neighborhood with poor public transit looks like, look no further than Red Hook. Once you make it hard for people with good incomes (who are able to buy houses and pay taxes that keep a neighborhood going) to commute to work, they lose interest in living in a neighborhood like that.

    The bigger joke here is that poor performing transit lines don’t stop overnight, so when the troublemaking kids in question actually get old enough to need these buses to get to work, they will be feeling the pain the most. Enjoy the walk up to Avenue U to catch a bus!

    Where are the police when the buses are getting attacked?

    Yes, the root cause of the problem is the kids and their parents, but law enforcement should play an active role here as well.

    A few calls to ACS might actually do the trick. They can get these poor kids the therapy that they so desperately need. When will all of you who know the names of these brats and constantly complain really do something about it. Complaining does nothing.

    Annon,
    Please don’t feel sorry for me. I actually grew up in a place and a home where I was taught how to behave myself. I am aware that not everyone here behaves in such a trashy manner but that doesn’t matter to me anymore. The bad far outweighs the good. Since you seem to be a “beacher”, I kinda feel sorry for you.

      Keep it to the buses only and it won’t be a big deal, don’t
      hit people and don’t throw potatoes or anything else that can
      injure someone and it’ll be all good. Otherwise its too
      dangerous.

    If I were a parent of any of the famous Halloween hoodlums
    I would have been at the pizzeria last night taking pictures and
    going to the houses of the parents telling them what their darling
    were doing. Isn’t that what they wanted Danny to do. I have to say
    we all have cell phone and if we all don’t start calling these kids
    out this neightborhood that we all seem to love will be lost
    forever. I was on a BM4 bus last night at 7:10 and the bus was hit
    on the front windshield several times. The same bus driver had a
    windshield broken the next before from the darling on the avenue.
    Parents of the kids from Halloween ask your kids where they were
    last night at exactly 7:10 aske them if they saw anyone throwing
    snowballs and then do the responsbile thing and go to those
    parents. For crying out loud stop trying to be your kids friend and
    be a PARENT and a good neighbor

    OK MORON – 1. WHAT DOES COLOR HAVE TO DO WITH IT? 2. ALL
    BLACK PEOPLE DO NOT SELL CRACK. 3. WHEN SNOW IS THROWN IT CAN BLOCK
    THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER CAUSING ACCIDENTS. IT CAN ALSO SURPRISE THE
    DRIVER CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. SO WHEN THE INNOCENT PERSON CROSSING
    THE STREET GETS KILLED SO WHAT – “IT’S ONLY A FEW TIMES A YEAR” AS
    YOU SAY. CUDOS TO CAVANAGH FOR HAVING THE BALLS TO SHOW TO GOOD AND
    THE BAD. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

    Ummmm….do you live here now? They are drunk or stoned, Sherlock. During the summer at the beach all you see are 30 year old women wearing bikini’s with missing teeth that look like they’re 60 and their husbands, with a beer in hand, are hobbling around the while their children are playing in the ocean. Then everyone questions why kids from this neighborhood are pricks.

      Disgusted, That is a great description of these Hags. I as well am concerned about the trailer trash reputation the Beach has gotten. These kids are just Generation two white trash. Some of the fools on here would rather stick their heads in the Sand and say this is not happening.It is real easy to say Kids will be Kids or leave the Kids alone.A hell of a lot easier than confronting and trying to correct the situation.
      Tell ya what people there are only so many Sanitation,Fire and Police department jobs to be had in the future.Time to stop fuc—g around and get educated people. Does anyone on this site know the percentage of collage graduates from the Beach ? How about the closing of SBHS due to lack of academic goals.Read the hand writing on the wall.!! Most of you down talk Blacks and Hispanics,Know what ,they will be the bosses of your children very soon.

    Kelly, I agree with you completely. These kids are going nowhere and they are going to have a very rude awakening when they get into the real world, (I.e, anywhere but here) and find that they are working for an educated Jewish, black, or Asian person.

    I grew up in Gerritsen beach in the 60s and the 70s lived there until 1997.When we were younger we had parents that would break our ass big time for little things back then never mind whats going on there today.My mom said i gave you life you little s.o.b. ill take it away and she ment it lol.I think the main problem lies in the laws today, what we need to do is give the law back to the parents and let them use the old wooden spaggetti spoon to tune the little devils up when they get out of line instead of prosicuting the parents for trying to keep thier kids from getting to far out of hand.

      Bill, sorry but you are re-writing history. If you will remember, back in the 60′s and 70′s we had plenty of drug addicts, lying all over the Ave sometimes. There were burgleries of homes and businesses. Especially the drugstores. Heroin and pills were rampant. We had kids coming home from Viet Nam with all sorts of addictions and problems. (they didn’t call it PTSD then, but that is what it was) The old WWII Dads filled the bars fighting their own demons. Believe it or not, and I know many will disagree, but part of the problem is that these kids at 17, 18+ can not buy a beer, hang out with their friends. There is no where for them to go, and drugs are again taking over. Pot smells and the way it is here now, as soon as anyone smells it they run to the phone. (311!!911!! GB.net!!)So they are taking pills, special K (animal tranquilizers), ectasy and God knows what else. I don’t know what the answer is, but I do know that in the 70′s we could get some beer, hang out in the park, socialize and listen to music and few went looking for anything else. We all stayed in school and worked. But don’t worry, Bill. All in all the Beach is still an even better place to live now than it was back then. P.S. I still remember you and JA doing ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ at 277 talent show!

    oh my god you remember me playing the drums doing little red riding hood lol.My goodness it seems so long ago lol.And yes i do remember the we had a bit more to do with ourselfs back in the day which keeped most of us out of trouble.But yet some did go wrong.Alot of peer pressure more today then ever before.I just find it so sad how the world has changed.I love Gerritsen Beach and always will.Even though i moved in 97 my heart is still a Beach Rat lol.I hope and pray that Gerritsen Beach can find the answers to help stop the mayham the kids do to their own neighborhood.GodBless.

    It doesn’t just SEEM long ago, it was (about 40 years)! There are drug and crime problems everywhere. Gerrittsen Beach will find it’s way. Actually, I disagree that peer pressure is worse today. I guess it’s the nature of humans to look at the youth of the generations that follow them and think they are so much ‘worse’, but I don’t think it’s true. You have plenty of drugs, crime in FL and it’s the pedophile capital of the US. They need to get a handle on the doctors who write prescription on prescription and the pharmacists that fill them knowing they are going to be sold on the street. Blame the kids for what they do but the real blame lies with the adults who facilitate the drugs. Money/greed is the root of all evil.

Love always Billy Boy Smith.
