The question is always the same when it comes to out of control, law-breaking kids--
Where are the parents?
Look! Here they are!
Jon Byman reports:
The City of Milwaukee says people are not only opening fire hydrants again this summer, but now they're making it difficult for city workers who come to close them. "When they go to turn off the hydrants, a lot of times the neighbors and the adults in the area will actually threaten them," said Cecilia Gilbert with the Milwaukee Department of Public Works. In fact, it has gotten so bad in some cases police have had to get involved.
Gilbert says opening hydrants is dangerous and costly. She says you can actually get hurt when you open the hydrant. Also, children who play in the water in the street have been hit by cars whose drivers can't see them. Perhaps the most critical problem, an open hydrant causes problems for firefighters if they need to fight a fire.
...Gilbert says people should use county pools are cool off in city cooling centers that open whenever it gets especially hot.
The adults in the area actually threaten the city workers for doing their jobs, turning off the fire hydrants that were opened illegally.
And people wonder why areas of Milwaukee are such a mess.
What horrible role models these kids have!
To the so-called adults: GROW UP.
