Children in trouble for hopscotch
Children in trouble for hopscotch
A group of youngsters has fallen foul of the law for playing hopscotch.
West Midlands Police community support officers asked parents in Spring Street in Halesowen to remove chalk markings after complaints about them.
Several children were involved in the games resulting in several markings on the pavement.
Police said they were also investigating complaints of anti-social behaviour. But mother Lisa Mangan said their action was "extreme".
She said: "With what is going on in the world it is pretty extreme for a few chalk markings on the pavement which will be washed away."
Her daughter Kayleigh, 14, added: "I think its stupid and they shouldn't be wasting their time up here having a go at kids about chalk when there are other things going on in the world."...
