Move house?

Hi all
Really anxious about what happens post sentencing (my son). We're thinking maybe we'll be targeted by people, have damage done, gossip etc. Has anyone any advice, is the best thing moving house, getting out of the area?

Hi, I'm also here because of my son. The media reported on his case after both plea hearing and sentencing, printing his full name, age and address. We chose to speak with our neighbours on both sides of the house as they both have children and were obviously concerned after the way the media reported the case. Everyone has been fine and we've had no repercussions.
If we'd moved house we would have been worried about people finding out. By staying where we are, everyone knows and we've nothing to hide. In the wider community some people choose to ignore my son but if that's as bad as it's going to be then he can live with that.
Wishing you all the best.

Hi
That's the route I thought we would follow, we all hope that people who have been around us for years know the 'true' us but my hubby has visions of us being graffitied and vandalised, got us all wound up. Time will tell I suppose.
Thanks for taking the time to post reply, so comforting to know that there's help out there. Very little help if any from actual system.

hi there , not a positive response from me but I suppose everyone's case will be different ..my family members home was targeted by a vigilante group set up by locals and gor a lot of others involved for what the media reported ..media could have made it better by stating he wasnt searching or downloading or sending anything it was a link sent , lawyer told us he didn't think it would get to that point because he's dealt with a lot worse, it's traumatised us ..people are maybe fed up with my responses I do not know but it's a truthful one also 8 months later yiu g person hasn't returned home but family have stayed in their home as they have stated why should they move they know the truth etc some people support and talk others dont ...the unknown is tough but u get through it but I wouldn't wish this upon anyone and would never in my life contribute to destroying a family home etc I hope you are able to remain at home also and in peace xx
My house was targeted and I was subject to criminal activity. But I have stayed out. I now have security cameras and a marker out in my property.
Still don't feel comfortable here and I will be moving - to start afresh

Just a little reassurance, there can be hope.
we got the full media circus with photo, name and street name printed and on local radio, (the offender, my son, lived with us - he was in prison at that time).
We had no trouble whatsoever (thankfully).

Thanks all for taking the time to post replies. Difficult to know what to do until the time comes. So sorry for those who have had bad experiences especially when it's not through their own actions. I wish us all courage and peace.
