At the very least it appears you have a coyote problem and it's good to let neighbors with small children or pets know that they shouldn't be left alone in yards or in the neighborhood.
I am fairly confident Delgar is chuckling along with the crowd - especially over his photography skills. And having seen coyotes take down and kill a calf in an open field before he's not wrong to be concerned about them moving into his backyard where his kid plays.

Unfortunately shooting a pellet gun these days will likely get you proned out at the end of a machine gun from a Tactical team member (and its against a city bylaw). But other suggestions should work to "haze" them and make them leave:

If they don't run away or become at all aggressive then Fish and Wildlife or even CPS should intervene at that point.
