Problems with Neighbours
Notifications OFF
Hi
I am really struggling with our neighbor. We had our knock in August 2024, and our son immediately lost his job as the Decoys sent everything to the local Facebook group.
The local press did present the case, but agreed to delist the article once my sons SOR is complete.
Our neighbour has been putting death threats on WhatsApp, shouting swear words at our youngest child, telling visitors that our son should have been locked up and shouting nonce and paedo with his mates at least 3x a week
we have spoken to the police who said that as our son has committed the type of crime our neighbour is technically correct.
we've got cameras to protect the property and a fence but our neighbour is now hanging stuff on the fence as we can't heighten it
Due to being Autistic the abuse is affecting me more than normal and wonder what we can do

Regardless of what your son may or may not have done this amounts to harrasment and intimidation. Under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997[/b], it’s a criminal offence to:
Repeatedly contact, follow, threaten, or target someone
Cause them distress, alarm, or fear
You need to log every action and word used and exact time. Once you have this the police are duty bound to take the matter seriously. Until then they will likely take the easy route which is for them to do nothing. Hope this helps.
Sending you big hugs we we were plastered all over Facebook by the decoys have you tried getting InTouch with your mp xx
