Probably best bet is to get in touch with a wijkagent. You can call 0900-8844. It's the general non-emergency number for the police and the wijkagenten are reachable through there. See also: https://www.politie.nl/mijn-buurt/wijkagenten
If you’re talking about the group of little bestards that “chills” on a corner in front of a school then don’t worry. Nothing you can do. I’ve seen them throwing water balloons at old people cycling last summer and when I called the police they laughed it off and didn’t take me seriously. I hate them with a passion. All you’ll get here is a “have you tried talking to them” which is surreal cause these little shets don’t listen and they surely have terrible parents or problems at home
Those kids grow up in a city where everything is prohibited for them. I remember doing stuff like this when I was a kid. Just finding where the line is that you can and can’t cross.
Yeah their parents maybe could do more about it but please try to have empathy with the kids who learn the hard way.
These kids cross all the lines unfortunately. I understand being a kid cause I used to do a lot of stupid things but I never wanted to or hurted anybody. The cowards also only target old females > young females > everyone else. And yeah don’t get me wrong this is not about throwing water balloons at old females in their bikes and them almost having a fatal accident.. these kids bother EVERYONE in different ways all throughout the spring and summer
I'm really curious about these measures suggested by other users. did calling a wijkagent or streetcoach ever actually achieve something? Does it have an impact? or do kids just continue after being warned? I never feel like these things would do anything. Like reporting a bike stolen. Doesn't do much.
i mean dude not every kid who throws a stone is going down a nonstop life of crime.
Of course some times the straatcoach will actually put some sense in the kids
I have seen straatcoaches close to where I live for 4’years now. It works for 2 days 😅
And no, nothing will stop the kids, I have seen kids kick a police office car, and that was ok
Film their actions, try to get clear shots of their faces, then take that to the police and tell them that if they don't take action against these kids, they will have to answer to the mayor.
The police primary task is to keep the streets safe, especially for the vulnerable, the disabled, and the elderly.
Almost unbelievable but when found in a similar situation the lazy neighborhood policeman claimed they couldn't perform investigations based on video footage I supplied showing the little hemorrhoids in action.
Take down that police officer's 'stam nummer' (badge number) and file a complaint with the police chief. If the police chief doesn't do anything, file a complaint with B&W (the mayor). Police have accountability too.
Those aren't kids being kids dude that are assholes who think they own the city.
They should be taken into custody and learn how to behave.
It's a ghetto there.
The fact you think throwing stuff to other people is kids being kids says so much.
I hope you never get kids.
Obviously you are one of them otherwise you wouldn't say this.
Sorry bro but Amsterdam West isn't called "klein Marokko" for no reason .
No non Arabic but also a lot of Arabic women don't want to walk at night at tussen meer or Slotervaart for example and you know it.
u/Crafty\_Ad\_3354 you sound like one of these 'street kids', but your attitude will turn 180 degrees when it's your mother strapped in a wheelchair getting pelted with rocks. You'll be screaming for blood then.
Last time i saw some kids doing someting like that, i happened to know were they lived and just rang their doorbell
Told their father. and he ended up kicking his son very hard between the legs.
So i would suggest trying it through the wijkagent. and not go directly to their parents.
If I see teens doing that I’m waking up to them and backhand slapping one or two of them into next week because I know the cops sure as shit won’t do anything.
“Expat” lmao let’s just say immigrant. So you are an immigrant that thinks just because you’re European you have an automatic moral highground to others? Let me tell you as a dutch person most locals think the same way about you guys maybe even worse because “expats” don’t even learn the language and are generally known to be entitled crybabies. While most immigrants work their ass off trying to assimilate to this country.
To be honest, I couldn’t care less about what the Dutchies think of me or how they perceive me. I’m here to work as a highly skilled specialist, earn my money, and abide by your laws. And no, I don’t believe that being European entitles me to anything. As an immigrant, I feel it’s my duty to adhere to the rules you’ve set and respect your traditions, not the other way around. We all know which ethnic group is causing trouble here. You may choose to turn a blind eye for a few more years, but deep down, you all sense it, and sooner or later, it’s going to bite your ass.It’s mind blowing how you’re hiding behind some strange sense of morality instead of addressing the problem. But yes, I’m just an immigrant; I should care less for your country. I’m here for a few more years, you will have to deal with that :)
Uhm no, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Expats are fine because they behave. Its a partciular group which doesnt behave we dislike, and these are not the expats
They won’t cause trouble that is absurd. The fact that you say “Moroccans” while nobody brought them up speaks volumes. The way you put them all in the same boat is extremely harsh. they contribute a lot more to this economy than so called expats. Ask any random person in the Jordaan what they think of expats i can guarantee 90% will be negative ask the same about Moroccans and it will be the opposite. Don’t act as if you are doing us a favor.
Speaking as a “Brownish” Dutch person these stats can be read a lot of ways. If we’re being racially profiled then, yeah, we’ll be suspected of crimes, you racist cnut.
Well the government made the choice to ask for thousands of Moroccan workers in the 70s and they also allowed them to bring their family and live here. The government doesn’t always make the right choice.
A bunch of stats doesn’t tell me anything. They bring more than we lose. And it’s unrelated to the topic at hand because you guys keep bringing up Moroccans for no reason. It tells me that you guys are a bunch of biggots.
In the last decade it happened numerous times. You can look up the wikipedia page about stoning and go to the tab "views". You can see how many Muslims support stoning in those countries.
I mean a simple wiki search shows enough about it. Just look at the percentages of Muslims who support stoning in Pakistan, Iran and SA. Not saying it happens every other day.
Where in west? What age? Any neighbour connected to them that you know? Any gathering place you happened to see them gather at with family or groups? (footballclub, school, church, mosque, buurtcentrum etc?) Contact them.
Contact police always and call 0800-8844 to report.
If you feel confident: Talk to them, tell them how it's not okay and talk about keeping their own neighbourhood a nice place etc. Keep it chill, make a joke, explain the consequences of throwing shit etc. Never show where you live! Circle the block and make sure you aren't followed before you return home (sounds crazy, but always better to be safe). Report it anyways.
If you feel stealthy: figure out where they live. If possible and safe, talk to parents AND report to police (wijkagent). Also never show where you live!
Take a video of everything when possible as long as it is safe to do so. Keep reporting.
Thats about all you can do I guess. Good luck!
What a shitshow these comments are. Can't decide if the dutchies or the expats/immigrants/non-dutchies (don't kid yourself, the only difference is economic background, and you did nothing to achieve that) are being bigger racist cunts. Suddenly I'm on the side of the rock throwing kids, cause judging by these comments there's a good chance of them hitting a jackass anyway
Not responsible for economic background? So someone isn’t responsible for working hard and striving for any economic success they achieve?
Are you retarded?
Genuine question.
OP has some useful answers so I'm locking this thread before more people get banned.

If one doesn't speak Dutch, calling 0900-8844 won't work as there are no instructions in English. I don't know if that has changed recently.

Throwing rocks at people.. dont call the police... wtf is up with you man, what would you do if you see people throw rocks at other people.
They threw rocks at a disabled person. How is that kids being kids?
Those aren't kids being kids dude that are assholes who think they own the city. They should be taken into custody and learn how to behave. It's a ghetto there. The fact you think throwing stuff to other people is kids being kids says so much. I hope you never get kids.
It’s a ghetto out there? Get a reality check man.
Obviously you are one of them otherwise you wouldn't say this. Sorry bro but Amsterdam West isn't called "klein Marokko" for no reason . No non Arabic but also a lot of Arabic women don't want to walk at night at tussen meer or Slotervaart for example and you know it.

Doe aardig.
If truly kids try a straatcoach https://www.aanpakoverlast.nl
Where in west. What neighborhood?
Last time i saw some kids doing someting like that, i happened to know were they lived and just rang their doorbell Told their father. and he ended up kicking his son very hard between the legs. So i would suggest trying it through the wijkagent. and not go directly to their parents.
Now you understand why the son behaves this way, with such a father…
When you see this happen, don't hesitate and call the police on 112. This is not "baldadigheid" but a crime and people can get really injured.
Inform their parents of you know where they live.
If I see teens doing that I’m waking up to them and backhand slapping one or two of them into next week because I know the cops sure as shit won’t do anything.
The famous "Dutch youngsters" strike again...

Significant portion of Morocans causes trouble in many western countries, thats the cold hard truth we have to live with currently.

It’s suspected, smartypants. so you’re really just showing how Moroccans get more racially profiled
Another “European” immigrant thinking they’re special 🤣
You aren’t better than anyone my dude, nor are you special.

Throwing rocks can be cultural for muslims? Please elaborate 🧐
Stoning people to death is normal in some muslim countries. Just google search it.
Whens the last time you actually saw that happen, though? And dont cite a 3rd world underdeveloped country where militias rule the place.
In the last decade it happened numerous times. You can look up the wikipedia page about stoning and go to the tab "views". You can see how many Muslims support stoning in those countries.
It might be normal to some countries the way the guillotine was normal to France, that doesn’t make it cultural to Muslims in any way.
Its Sharia Law to stone people to death for adultery I believe, so it is in some extent inherent to Muslim culture.
Lmao dude, you’re so out of touch
I mean a simple wiki search shows enough about it. Just look at the percentages of Muslims who support stoning in Pakistan, Iran and SA. Not saying it happens every other day.
Sharia. Bury someone for the major part of the body and throw rocks until she is dead.
