In an age when kids are getting more obese, junk food is everywhere, and exercise seemingly nowhere, you'd be pleased to see a group of kids playing hopscotch out on the street....wouldn't you?
Seems some people aren't, in fact some were so displeased that they called the police and reported them...
"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". "
