This is a toughie. I would have to ask myself is this escalating to the point where the incidents are getting more serious. If they are, then I would intervene.

Gang mentality is something learned early in life and if not stopped continues through life. They have to learn that there is consequence to their actions. And if the parents do nothing and this is also happening in school, go to the school!

My daughter was being harassed by some high school boys when she was a junior in high school. It kept getting progressively worse. One day one of them slammed her head into her locker. She almost passed out and she had a huge lump on her head requiring me to seek medical help for her. That was it, now this wasn't silly high school stuff this was serious. I marched her into the principals office the next day, reported the incidents and the principal saw to it that the junk immediately stopped. In fact the kid that had done this got suspended. After that the word was out, don't mess with Audra because he mother is going to kick our butts if we do.
