Frustrated Ellenbrook locals say it’s like living in a war zone, where out-of-control kids risk not only hurting themselves but others.

A little boy, aged six, was filmed leaping between the roofs of homes and not an adult in sight.

It’s not the first time he’s done it, just the first time he’s been caught on camera.

“I never thought I’d be a homeowner. I am, and now I live in this warzone,” Ellenbrook Nic resident said.

They’re the reason Nic now sleeps with a baseball bat.

“I don’t know what’s coming over the fence, or through the front door,” she said.

She’s one of several locals who claim they’ve been threatened and their homes vandalised and robbed.

They say the epicentre of the anti-social behaviour is the house where the little boy was filmed on roof.

There have been multiple complaints to the Department of Housing.

The woman who lives there is upset.

The single mother says the trouble was not caused by her children, but by other kids who were visiting. She says they are now banned from the house. As for the little boy on the roof, Seven News was told he likes to look at the stars.

“What’s wrong? I used to do that when I was a kid. There was a time I used to do that. I used to lay up on my mum’s roof,” the woman said.
