the quick facts. I live in colorado springs. I live across the street from a middle school. I am renting a house. i want to solve this problem of underage smoking behind my house.
so here is the skinny. The house im renting is right across the street from a junior high and 2 blocks from a high school. When school is out the kids come across the street and smoke cigarettes and weed behind my house. I know it is not a big deal to some, but to me smoking is retarded and has horrible health consequences. In colorado springs it is illegal to buy cigarettes if you are a minor. If you have them on you and you are a minor there is no punishment so i cant get them to stop that way. The school across the street will take no action because it is not on school property. The alley way is owned by the public, so i cant get them for trespassing. The only two things i can think of is littering and since my gas to my house is on that side maybe there is a loop hole that says no smoking within so many feet of those lines. all i want to do is make the side of my house not the place to hang out. Also i dont want to see young kids who know no bettah smoking. throw some ideas you got my way.
also they have knocked over my garbage, kicked over a neighbors oil can and broken a fence by sitting on it.
