Do consider Ed's warning! He's right about the risk.
Another tactic you should consider is, in addition to
calling police every time one of them comes to your door,
tell them you are unable to help financially but that you
will call social sevices on their behalf. That's the best
thing you could do for the kids, and it's possible the
parent won't want the involvement of that agency. But,
either way, they are the people who should get involved.
As major a disruption as it would be to your life, if
this continues you might have to consider the move you've
talked about in the past. You deserve a more peaceful and
safe existence.
Again, do be very careful about allowing any of them
being alone with you and continue to report to the police
every encounter.
