These two incidents were reported!  Someone best find these brats before someone dies!2901621uu:Tonight I was driving on Northpark just passed Westlake Houston Pkwy heading toward Mills Branch. As I crossed the bridge, two big logs were thrown at my SUV and busted my headlight. I called the police and reported it and they were going to check the area. Needless to say, I'm very upset. Emoticon chappy:Last night when my husband came home around 1030 he said that as he was nearing the small bridge near the drainage ditch between Hidden Lakes and Stately Oak that multiple kids without shirts were waiting and dashing across the street at the last minute in pairs in front of the cars. He said that because they were not wearing clothes that he thought at first that they were deer. He was a little shaken and worried. The storm was moving in and figured that they would head home. They didn't. When my son came home about an hour later his truck as hit by something in the same spot. Not a huge amount of damage, but enough to put a small dent and take a small amount of paint off. Just a heads up. 4951

i am truly starting to hate summer around here!  Dont these brats know there is a curfew for underage kids?  I know kids lie to parents and tell them they are at someone's house, then the others lie as well as to where they are going to be... but maybe parents best step up to the plate and start calling those parents and check on them! 4951

WTH? I never heard of dashing out in front of cars. They must have been looped up on something.
I'll give the heads up to my kids. Thanks for the info. 4951

Not trying to hijack the thread but I read this story & it really bothered me. The above subject made me think of it. It's been reported for a while now so most likely some of you have read this.
 
 
Ohio teacher driving on Pa. highway hit in face with 8-pound rock dropped from overpass 
Sharon Budd, 52, was critically injured Thursday night after the boulder smashed into her car windshield. She had just hung up the phone with her soldier son, who was preparing to deploy to Afghanistan for a year, her husband said. Four teens have been arrested and charged with the crime.

Sharon Budd remains in critical condition after Thursday night’s incident.
An Ohio school teacher who had just hung up the phone with her soldier son was smashed in the face with a rock and critically injured after four teens allegedly dropped the stone onto the woman’s car from an overpass above Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania.
Sharon Budd, 52, took the 8-pound boulder to her face around midnight Thursday near New Columbia, Ohio as she, her husband and 19-year-old daughter traveled toward New York City, the Akron Beacon Journal reported.
Budd, a breast cancer survivor was sitting in the passenger’s seat, cruising around 65 mph, when the rock dropped from some 22 feet, smashing through the windshield.
“We were all awake and talking and wow, it felt like the car exploded,” husband Randy Budd told the Journal.
The Lake Township, Ohio woman lost an eye and had facial surgery to reduce the pressure and swelling around her brain. The mother of four remains hospitalized in critical condition at the Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pa.
“It was the most gruesome thing that you could ever imagine,” Randy Budd told the Canton Repository. “Right now the doctors have no idea, none, on how she’s going to come out of this,” he added.
The Edison Middle School teacher had just hung up the phone with her 28-year-old son Lucas Budd, an Ohio National Guardsmen scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan for 12 months this week.
She’d asked her eldest son to send a picture of himself from his Texas base, her husband recalled.
“He wrote back, ‘I really miss you mom,’” Randy Budd told the Repository.Police said the teens dropped the rock from the Gray Hill Road overpass, about 22 feet above the highway.
My son’s picture was the last thing she saw,” Randy Budd also told the Journal. “She was crying, but it was a good cry.”
The couple’s daughter, Kaylee, was driving when police say four teens dropped the rock from the Gray Hill Road overpass.
Kaylee began to scream and slammed on the breaks as her father called 911. Randy and Kaylee Budd were uninjured in the incident.
Cops later noticed the same car twice driving by the scene early Friday and traced it to a local home. They arrested Brett Lahr, 18, and Dylan Lahr, 17, and charged them with aggravated assault in connection with the crime. Two juveniles were also charged.
Brett Lahr was held in lieu of $50,000 bail, while his brother was released on supervised bail, the Daily Item of Sunbury reported.
“A little luck and really good, solid police work,” state police said of the arrests.
Lucas Budd has had his deployment delayed so he can be with his family.
The family has raised more than $5,000 by Tuesday evening to help defray her medical costs.
“She’s a tough lady,” Randy Budd told the Journal of his wife of three decades. “She’s a fighter.”

How sad and ignorant of these teenagers to not understand what danger they put someone's life in.  What could they've been thinking?  Well it seems they weren't thinking at all.
I hope Mrs. Budd recovers fully, but I think that would be one big whopping miracle!

In 1992 I was driving down  the road along the river going home from work when a large rock was thrown at my windshield , it hit on the passenger side & broke my window. I did not see anyone  come out of the woods that runs along the other side of the road . I went to the police station & they took a report & said they would send a patrol to the area to see what they could come up with . Later that evening 2 more vehicles were damaged on that same stretch of road.  When school is out kids get bored & do stupid things not thinking they could hurt or kill someone  with their actions. 4951

@thegoodwife:
Unfortunately this has been going on for along time.  They used to do this on alot of the highways up in NY along time ago.  By the time someone got there the idiots that threw something were usually long gone.

@angiekaye: ... And the closer it gets to the start of the new school year, the worse these types of incidents seem to get unfortunately. Sometimes I think the kids can't see past the initial "fun" of what they are doing to what the consequences of their actions might be!!!

@Anmu2012: what does he look like? I saw a kid with a giant backpack being questioned by police a few days ago at new life church. There were several police cars there.

I caught a glimpse of him but he is in high school, tall, a medium stature, brown hair. Rides bike or skate board a lot.
