Superheroes in Queensland

On Saturday, some children decided to practice their graffiti skills on the side of our school. They were spotted by a Haultain parent. Instead of being a complacent and apathetic bystander she decided to do something about it.

Yelling at the kids to stop what they were doing, she then called the police non-emergency line to report what she was seeing. As the kids were running away, another Haultain parent got involved and stealthily followed the children back to their homes. She was able to determine their address and report to the police the description of the kids. We have a promise from the responding officer of a follow up. A third Mom got involved by photographing the graffiti and providing copies to the police. This may help in linking past graffiti crimes to these kids and hopefully some other habitual 'taggers'.

These Haultain parents displayed a showcase of stellar community awareness. If everyone could pitch in with some civic pride and passion as they did, it would spell the end of this type of petty crime. I'm proud of our three Haultain 'superheroes'.
