A resident in Onchan has slammed anti-social behaviour by children in the area - described as 'feral yobs'.
In a Facebook community group for the town, one mum revealed a group of boys stole her daughter's skateboard and hit her with it.
She says the boys were all in black hoodies and other parents have shared their reports about the same gang.
Another concerned parent says a group of youngsters swore and shouted at her seven year-old daughter, while another says she's installed CCTV after the vandals damaged a sign at her business.
