A group of youngsters has fallen foul of the law for playing hopscotch.
West Midlands Police community support officers asked parents in Spring Street in Halesowen to remove chalk markings after complaints about them.
Several children were involved in the games resulting in several markings on the pavement.
Police said they were also investigating complaints of anti-social behaviour. But mother Lisa Mangan said their action was "extreme".
Kids have been playing hopscotch for decades, but now it's "anti-social behaviour". Is the world going mad ? No wonder the kids get bored, when they can't even play the games that their parents and grandparents played !
