In reply to the discussion: Ohio teens charged with murder over sandbag tossed from overpass [View all]Blue_true
(31,261 posts)There was a dirt road that served as the main throughfare and got a good amount of traffic. Me and other boys in the ten-twelve age range used to hide in the nearby woods and throw rocks into the air toward the road when we heard a car coming. We didn't hit much, but occasionally would hear a rock clang off a car. My parents found out about what we were doing and that was the end of that behavior. As an adult I shudder to think of the damage and even loss of life or an eye those rocks could have caused. I think the only way to stop kids from doing stuff like that is explain to them early that things they don't think do damage can be extremely dangerous and they they should avoid games where they are playing with other people's safety or lives.
