We live on a quiet street in a small southern town. We have been in this house for about 20 years. When we bought it the neighborhood was mostly elderly white widows. They have all died and the houses have sold to younger families, except for two house, which have become rental properties. About a month ago a young black woman moved into one of the houses. She has one child a daughter, about 5 or 6. She also has an abusive boyfriend. The police have been there 3 times and the sheriff once. Sad for the child.
Keep your doors locked and keep an eye on that woman, not for her interest but your own.
