What a horrible man!

You may remember, I posted on here a while ago about myDD’s difficult neighbour who had complained about the noise her DS was making when he had his meltdowns, ( 10 years old and autistic). Since then, ( Feb.), they have been living with us, DD just returning home in the day to work from home.
Anyway, they moved back at about 2:30 pm today as we have the decorator coming to paint our hall, landing and stairs and we thought it would be sensible as besides the two children she has a dog. No more than an hour later she rang to say neighbour had been round to complain about the dog barking in the garden. (DD admits the dog was a bit giddy as back at home and very windy today). Apparently he used really bad language, so bad she wouldn’t tell me what he said.
DGD heard him and is very upset. I am proud of my DD as she firmly told him to get off her property.
I think he is just a downright bully. No real reason to post just wanted a rant and to get it off my chest.

Has she set up a video door bell with a camera that will record any future bullying attempts? If it continues perhaps she should contact citizens advice or get legal advice, so that a letter can be sent telling him to back off.

Good idea about the doorbell. I told her to write it down and keep a diary because I think this is harassment,

some suggestions;
contact local councillor,
council's anti-social behaviour unit;
police on 101.
good luck

Good suggestions from welbeck
My DD says her neighbours must be saints ( to put up with constant autistic meltdowns) as they never complain.
I take it this neighbour has been told the boy has autism?

Yes, she told them during the first complaint.

Hi Nandalot
I agree with welbeck. Get your DD to email both her town Councillor and District Councillor if she has both. I did when l had a problem and they both helped. It might help to say she is going to involve the local newspaper as well. It must be awful for her, what a disgraceful bully.
Our council had an anti social behaviour department when l worked there, it was part of environmental health. Oh and what about email her local MP, it might be worth a try.
Hope your DD gets some help.
