[NAGDU] need suggestions re kids without supervision in my apartment complex

Ahahaha! I'd employ the same tactic used to deter animals. Get you a

and other commonly recognized signs did not work. Neither has
contacting the landlord, and how can you find out who the parents are?
That's bound to get some wanted response!
