It's a **** situation to be sure. I don't recomend the vigilante approach for all the reasons stated; it's likely blow back in yer face.
So, how about community action? You can't be the only one around who is feeling this way so try arranging a public meeting, invite all the locals you know and post notices, get the local cops there to give support. If the offenders can be identified and located get a group of locals to go round there with signs and do a (peaceful) protest outside their house. Make it clear to the parents just what is happening and make it clear that the community is sick of it and won't stand for it any longer.
I really think that the best way is to show solidarity in the community to these lawless brats. It all comes down to accoutability and if you can find a way to get to the parents in a way that they will find unpleasant and shows them up to the community at large as being idiots who can't raise their kids well it might just get them to take some action.
This way it's not just you against them and it's all legal. You may even get support from the cops if you get the mix right.
Good luck.
ps I moved from the UK to Canada 3 years ago and it's a different story here.
