If your child is out of control in this way, the chances are very strong that he or she is involved in graffiti vandalism. As a parent, you have a legal and moral responsibility to find out what your child is doing when he or she is not at home. If you do not know, you should find out for the child's sake, as well as your own, since you may be civilly or criminally liable for your failure to control the child's behavior. Tagger Graffiti - This graffiti is committed by individuals and groups of kids for the sole purpose of establishing identity and recognition for themselves among their peers, generally other taggers. The number of displays or the size of the area in which the graffiti appears measures the prestige of the individual tagger or crew.
Taggers usually associate with other taggers in groups called crews.
A tagger can have two nicknames and may belong to several tagging crews at once. They are usually fond of a newly painted wall where previous graffiti has been freshly removed. Due to the danger of being observed or arrested, most individual taggers will apply their trade in the hours between midnight and dawn. Of special interest to taggers are billboards or tops of areas of high buildings where their tag can be seen for a long distance. Tagger graffiti is increasing at an alarming rate.
