Hello there Colwood and Langford parents.

Do you know where your teenager was on Friday, June 7 at 2:30 a.m.? I know where quite a few were. About 20 were hanging out in Herm Williams Park close to my house.

I wish I could say they were having a good time like we used to do when we were teenagers, but this group sure wasnB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t.

When my son and his two friends passed by at 2:30 a.m. having walked home from DarcyB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s, about 15 teenage boys swarmed out of the park to challenge them to a fight. Naturally they werenB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t interested but the gang followed them right to our driveway, taunting, jeering and threatening them.
