I really feel for your son and hope he makes a speedy recovery , if they insist on charging your son definitely go to the papers , in the light of recent cases it will be dropped .
I have been having problems with five families either side of me in recent weeks , and have had to put up with a mob drinking on the pavement directly outside my house , throwing all there emptys all over the place , playing loud music in there front garden till the early hours ,and intimidating my wife and daughters and threatening to burn the house down . It all came to ahead this weekend , when I confronted them about it and words were exchanged . My immediate neighbour who I share a drive with , put a crappy piece of fence up which left me with a 3ft gap to get out onto the path so I can,t get my car on to my drive but he can get his car on to his drive . My daughter texted me to warn me they were doing this and not to react as there were a dozen of them outside all drunk waiting for me to get home . When I got home they were all there dogging me up and smirking , I walked to my house looking straight ahead ignoring them . I got changed got the pushbike out ignored them as I went out and went for a ride for 40mins . On Saturday he tried to apologize and said he was wrong and would take it down , I told him I had already reported it to the council and they would take it down and send him the bill , and told him that from now on I will report every bit of antisocial behaviour and any threats I will call the police , and I will have police there every day . On Sunday morning I took the fazer out went out for about 4 hours , when I got back the shit stirrer was there smirking again , I put the bike round the back and flipped , I went out kicked the fence down , grabbed the lump hammer and started to loosen the post , he started shouting , other neighbours came out , I shouted back at him told him to get his mates and kick my head in , I had my back to him hitting the post , he went to attack me and other people pulled him back , my wife and daughter were screaming , I told them to phone the police , I went in and waited for the police to arrive , when the police arrived he said you look guilty, I explained what happened and the on going harassment , he said not that much to feel guilty about Its a bloody state anyway , he took my statement and said he would get onto the housing office but advised me not to hit him as that's what they want , not to stay in the house for a couple of nights , as the mob was back outside , he had words with them and took some pictures , when I got back at 8.30pm after visiting my mum who is recovering in hospital from a serious operation , they had put it back up and were all there waiting again so we had to walk through a gauntlet again . After an hour when they had gone , we started putting stuff into the car to get away for a few nights , I,m back home now but we are all just living on our nerves . My sister who works as police case officer , is trying to help .
