Can you guys do more for me, please?""And then when they go and damn near kill my son, who wouldn't hurt a flea -- I have had it right up to here, and I want something done about them," said Antoinette Anderson."I've already hired a lawyer and will sue them for every damn penny they ever make.
Residents packed the hearing room Tuesday with complaint after complaint about the 10 to 15 juvenile boys who have been allegedly terrorizing Danvers.Much of the frustration was aimed at Town Manager Steve Bartha, who will soon leave to fill the same role in Lexington.
