Baby's Window Shattered, Neighbors Demand Action

0:00Residents in a Raleigh neighborhood near Glasscock Street are dealing with a wave of break-ins, property damage, and kids throwing rocks at homes. These incidents come from children as young as seven living in a nearby apartment complex, and folks say it's been going on for months, making everyone feel on edge in their own backyards. Things ramped up this week when a big rock smashed through one family's window on Tuesday, almost hitting their six-month-old baby. People from home owners capture groups of these young kids, chucking rocks right at houses, turning a bad situation into something way more dangerous. Neighbors are fed up and scared, hiding their faces out of worry for retaliation. They've reached out to Raleigh Police and City Councilmember Cory Branch multiple times begging for real help before somebody gets seriously hurt. Branch is on it, teaming up with police and the families to step in early and stop this from blowing up bigger. Many groups are offering support services, but it all hinges on parents getting involved and police working with apartment managers to IDI, kids.

1:04Police are pushing everyone to just call them instead of handling it themselves. And with Branch leading the charge, there's hope these interventions. Turn things around fast for a safer block. That's your update from Durham News today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the Story.
