Hoping to get some advice here. My neighbor's kid (maybe around 7 years old) first broke our gate lock by repeatedly ramming his bike into it. Our cameras caught him throwing the broken piece into our yard before leaving. A few days later we see him again stomping on hedges around the neighborhood and found his dad. When we explained the situation, his first words were "oh, he's autistic" and agreed to tell his son not to enter our front yard. I think my husband was too nice and immediately said not to worry about the lock as he thinks he can fix it (he can't, but our HOA will cover it) but I don't recall the dad even sounding apologetic. Things were better for a few weeks but recently I caught him on the cameras again and I was home. So I opened the door and asked him nicely not to come into the yard. Kid left without a word but he knew what he was doing.…
