But they say things have gotten worse this summer.

Surveillance video shows three younger kids walking by their day care and stopping near their damaged window and then the video shows the three running away in the opposite building.

"It's not a comfortable feeling," said Gladys Green, owner of Little Generation Day Care. "We have children here 2 1/2 to 12."

"I would like to say that the day care incident surprises me, but to be honest it doesn't," said Liz Zolla, a neighbor living nearby. "Like honestly that's what the neighborhood has been dealing with for the past year."

Zolla said she is moving out of the neighborhood because of these issue. The issues include disrespecting property, stealing park benches, egging cars and running havoc through the streets.

Juveniles taking over their neighborhood and causing problem after problem. So many problems in fact, some neighbors didn't want their name or face to appear in our story for fear of retaliation.

"I can honestly say I don't feel safe in the neighborhood anymore," said one elderly neighbor who has lived there for more than 50 years.

"It's constant 911 calls, said Leslie. My daughter has been assaulted at the park by these children. It's not safe to go to the park and that sucks."

While neighbors are avoiding any contact with the teens, they want to take back their streets. They called in some help from Toledo Police and the Juvenile Prosecutor at their block watch meeting Tuesday night. Their advice for neighbors was simple.

"If you don't call it didn't happen because we don't know about it, said Toledo Police Officer Slay. We want your call."

Lori Olender, the Lucas County Juvenile Prosecutor said the system has changed from years past. They seek to keep teens out of jail, but she says she is doing her best to help.

"All you can do is call the police, explained Olender. You have to know that our hands are tied unless you actually see somebody commit a crime and you know it is them, that's the hard part."

While any advice will help, some neighbors were disappointed knowing more couldnt be done.

"I was pretty mad, said one neighbor who feels personally attacked by some of the violence. Basically, these juveniles are going to take over our neighborhoods."
