That must have been really upsetting. What a horrible person she sounds. Presumably she was mistakenly accusing you of contacting the police.
I won’t offer more advice as others have made good suggestions, this is just to say how sorry I am. flowers

Thanks for sharing your story. You can't rationalise with people like that, the only time this young girl will learn the lesson is when she feels "old, dried up and has lost her life time partner" It sounds like other neighbour's reported the party and justifiably. I think I would be inclined to ask the police for an incident number just for the record. Karma comes around at some stage without the need to take any action other than finding a way to put this abusive, bullying behaviour out of your mind. Feel free to reach out privately to me if you want

You really should not have to suffer this appalling behaviour and I hope you are able to get some support from neighbours and/or other local groups. These people were breaking the law and should be fined accordingly. Why are there so many dreadful people around, intent on making life unbearable for those already having problems? So sorry you experienced this, pinkjj27, and sending warm wishes. flowers

Oh, so sorry this disgraceful behaviour has occurred.

You poor soul, how hideous.
Sensible advice from others here, to which I can’t add anything useful.
I just wanted to wish you well and send good thoughts ?

Ohmother Fri 01-Jan-21 14:03:02

Awwwww Pinkjj27 ?. How horrible. I think you’ve had enough advice so I just want to send you a massive virtual hug. ?

TBH Alexa I'd be quite happy to do that myself.

I just googled “police safeguarding vulnerable people” and this came up:

The police have a crucial role to play in the safety and protection of adults at risk of harm and abuse. ... In addition, a core policing role is identifying and managing perpetrators who choose to target adults who are vulnerable. The Care Act underpins this duty.

Call the police again and insist that they have a duty to help you.

Pinkjj27, if I were a fit man with friends in your area, I'd get them all together and threaten this young woman enough to make her fear and tremble.

his was criminal abuse. What a good thing you did telling Gransnet about it!

Op, not sure if you are a member of the organisation called WAYUP - for widows like us aged over 50, you would also get lots of support, advice and listening ears on there.
You might also find other widows living close by that could help you with support and a united front against horrible people like this.

I am so sorry, with all that you are dealing with that you had to endure this on top

Tangerine Fri 01-Jan-21 13:45:54

I am so sorry for you.

I think you should contact your housing authority, local authority or private landlord, as well as the local Police Station.

It is disgraceful that you should be verbally assaulted in this way.

If the neighbour and her guests become ill, they will have themselves to thank.

GagaJo Fri 01-Jan-21 13:41:11

I would make a phone call to the local station. I would also contact social services. Do you live in local authority housing? If so, a complaint to them is definitely in order.

You are a vulnerable elderly person.

sodapop Fri 01-Jan-21 13:39:52

That's terrible Pink sounds like your neighbour has her own problems. I think you should speak to your local council about this problem.
Good luck.

Smileless2012 Fri 01-Jan-21 13:37:54

What an awful thing to have happened. You really need to contact your local police again, demand to speak to whoever is in charge, make a formal complaint and insist that they go and see that vile young woman.

If there were 70 people at a party then she and those attending should have been fined.

gulligranny Fri 01-Jan-21 13:30:18

Dreadful behaviour from your neighbour, I think it's more likely that she will be evicted than you!

Meanwhile you have a kindly listening ear here on GN so please let us know that you are okay.

Grannynannywanny Fri 01-Jan-21 13:25:51

How awful pinkjj27. Is it possible to speak to any of your other neighbours by phone and let them know what’s happened. Hopefully they will be supportive.

crazyH Fri 01-Jan-21 13:24:44

How awful for you Pink ....do you live in social housing or private house? If it's the former, your first port of call should be the local council. Even if it's private, I'm sure the Council will have some by-laws, regarding environmental issues, noise abatement etc. Someone with more knowledge than mine, will come along soon and give you the right advice. Good luck !!!!

Wheniwasyourage Fri 01-Jan-21 13:24:03

That sounds awful, pinkjj27. I'm not surprised you're shaking. The police response is disgraceful too. I can't think of anything else to advise, except from contacting the council when they open up again, particularly if you are in council property. The young woman has obviously got a lot more problems than you have!

In the meantime, sending brew and flowers

I don’t post very often but just need someone to tell.
I am a widow with lupus and anxiety issues so I have just been keeping to myself.
. Last night my next door neighbour had a party about 70 people. I was thinking about reporting it on line but police turn before I had a chance. The police did nothing. Party went on till 3 am.
This morning the young girlwho held the party knocked on my door screaming at me, calling me old and Dried up, she called me a nutter and said she started a petition to get me evicted. She told me to go shag my dead husband. she just kept saying "look how beautiful I am and look at you dried up jealous lonely old cow even your husband died to get away from you". Even your family don’t want you. I had to force my door shut as she was pushing against it.

I called the police who rang me back and said they can’t come out but just to ignore her and report it to my local council.
I do suffer mental health issues and I can’t stop shaking I don’t need any one to respond, but I feel so alone and just needed to tell someone. It wasn’t even me that phoned the police.
