She said things worsened two days later, when neighbouring kids threatened to kill her children. “They are so scared, they don’t want to go to school or even outside,” wrote France. “We just need to move.”

And that can lead to a problem, says Jen Deamer, who’s among a handful of residents who claim they’ve been “targeted” by swarms of children hurling rocks and insults.

“There’s 20 kids outside with no supervision. They’re up at 3 a.m. coming up to my house,” said Deamer, pointing at holes in her window and exterior siding that she claims were inflicted by an air gun in 2013.

She said it’s true that children in the complex who aren’t closely watched have damaged other people’s property. But she suggests that housing larger families within tight quarters may exacerbate the problem.

“It’s not my choice. If I had a big income I’d buy a house. Here every family is a big family.”

Councillor Evan Woolley, who sits on the CHC board, says the complex is among the few public-housing projects that can accommodate larger families, meaning it has a disproportionate amount of poorer residents with social needs.

Weeks after the woman filmed children throwing stones, one blasted through her own window. It landed near her son’s head.

“What needs to happen? Does someone have to get killed?” she said. “They don’t care.”
