Is Your Child A Tagger?

Does your young’un stink of aerosol spray cans and go by the name Daze172?
If so, he/she could be a villinous tagger!

According to the City of Santa Ana, Orange County, here are some of the evil signs to look out for:

Taggers come from every race and socio-economic background. Although most taggers are males there are female taggers. Some indicators that your child may be a tagger are:

• Your child is in the age group statistically associated with tagging, ages 12-18.

• Your child has tagging written on their clothing such as their shoes or inside their baseball cap, schoolbooks, notebooks, backpacks, cd covers, and on their bedroom furniture or walls.

• Your child frequently wears baggy pants or carries a large backpack. These are used to carry cans of spray-paint, various colors and types of magic markers, etching tools, slap tags and cameras to take photos of their taggings. The clothes and backpack may be paint stained.

• Your child has large quantities of magic markers in various colors, types and sizes, spray-paint cans, shoe polish containers, or dot markers used to mark bingo cards.

• Your child has or carries tools used for etching glass or mirror surfaces such as spark plug porcelain, drill bits, screwdrivers with a sharpened tip, small rocks, or any other type of sharp instrument.

Kid’s Birthday Parties

Sam Di Brito writes the All Men Are Liars column for the Sydney Morning Herald. Here’s a great piece he wrote recently concerning the dread of parents everywhere – the birthday party. His reader’s comments are enlightening at times also.

“Once partnership has beckoned and fatherhood headlocks a man to the floor of responsibility, a bloke is forced to confront one of life’s more complex joys – the children’s birthday party.
