A woman was left furious after catching a child on her Ring doorbell camera throwing stones from her front garden. The incident occurred while she was at work, and she was particularly annoyed that the child's parent did not intervene.
Footage from the camera showed the child walking along the decorative stones before slipping and then picking them up and dropping them back down. The homeowner spoke through the Ring device, telling the child to 'get off the front of my house and put my rock down now'. The child promptly ran away.
The woman posted the video on TikTok, captioning it: 'Guys, please manage your kids when you take them outside or else someone else will. I'm fed up with this new generation of kids doing what they like, when they like.' The clip sparked debate, with some criticising the parent for doing nothing, while others defended the adult, noting she told the child to 'put it down nicely'.
Some commenters argued that it was 'only a rock', but others countered that the rock belonged to the homeowner who had paid for it. One social media user suggested that society should 'normalise teaching our kids to not touch or go on other people's property and to have respect for others'.
