Terrifying.
Our neighbors have it in for us, and we’ve had a visit from pretty much every agency on the city...I’m just waiting for CPS to show up.
Along with that, he used to leave the truck running overnight during cold weather. His driveway was located about ten feet from our bedrooms wall.
There wasn't a fence between our lots and he often parked his truck partially on OUR property despite us frequently asking him to stop. I finally had to call the police just to stop him from leaving the trucks running all night long.
He or more likely his wife retaliated by filing a complaint against my wife and I with the local department of Family Services who took three of our children for questioning without telling us beforehand. They even came out to our house and asked us a lot of questions before finally admitting that they didn't believe the allegations against us.
The real problem is that anyone can file false accusations against someone else alledging child abuse and even though the agency knows the charges are fraudulent, they simply don't punish the liars who make the false charges.
In regards to that neighbors wife, she and possibly her son and maybe even the father used to call our house all during the night often making over 100 calls per month.
The police claimed that they couldn't do anything about them unless we first had a wiretap placed on out phone line and also got a statement from the phone company documenting the date and time of all the phone calls along with the calling number.
Since all the calls were local rather than long distance, the phone company didn't keep any individual record of the local calls since they aren't billed by length or time of day. Therefore it was impossible to produce such record as requested by the police. We had to pay to have our number ‘audited’ just too get that report.
One day after one such late night phone call, I told the neighbors son that we reported the calls to the police and the police were auditing the phone calls coming in and that we were fully prepared to press a criminal complaint with documented proof against whoever was making the calls.
I also informed him of the laws regarding those illegal calls and the amount the perpetrator could be fined along with a prison sentence and the fact that I was also going to sue the perp as well.
Those phone calls immediately stopped.
One really interesting thing was shortly after moving in next door they told me that they were run out of the last neighborhood they were living in because of the truck.
One other thing is that shortly before we moved to Florida, the husband committed suicide by shooting himself after he was arrested for carrying a gun in his truck.
