Anti sicial behaviour and harassment from local youth

So, we have had ongoing issues with a boy and sometimes his siblings who hang around on the street by our house. My husband is in the forces and normally away in the week and home at weekends although he is away for a total of 6 weeks at the moment. When my husband isn't home this boy will run through my garden with his mates or siblings, over and over again even when Ive gone out and Told them not to do it. He frightens my two young girls when we leave the house to go to the car, we can't park directly outside our house so its impossible to avoid this boy and his mates. He's thrown bread that was out for the birds at the window and knocks mine an my neighbours door for no reason. He has even followed us in the dark when I ws bringing girls back from gymnastics lesson and threatened to break into my house. This wknd I'd had enough of them in my garden and haveing him shouting at us when we go out anywhere so reported via 101. Community police came out went and spoke to him and his mates. However, when I've arrived back home today with my girls I saw him in someone else's garden, and when we walked back from the car started shouting at us for calling the police and then suddenly stopped when he realised my neighbour was there. He is a very strange boy almost over freindly with some people and then just changes and acts like a bully. He doesn't seem to have appropriate boundaries with adults and certainly no respect. He never says a word to us when my husband is home, just stares. He obviously likes to shout at and intimidate women and children. I'm really not sure how to deal with this and I'm pretty sick of it. Anyone experienced anything similar. This child attends a school for children with behavioural issues and the mum generally tries to keep him out of the house as far as I can tell.

How old is this kid?! sounds slightly psychopathic to me. Threatening to break into your house...wtf. Have you spoke to his mum? maybe pointless as he clearly doesn't seem to have any discipline. Sigh...
If I were you I would keep reporting him for any harassing behaviour. You need to send a message that you won't put up with it. And don't respond to him when he tries to torment you. Then he gets a reaction and wins.
Maybe if it goes on long enough they would slap him with an asbo or whatever it is they do now, though it seems he already has a large deal of problems, sounds like he needs done kind of therapy IMO.
Hope the situation improves for you.

How old is he?

Can you afford a basic cctv set up to back up your complaints?
I would ring 101 every single time.

Do you rent your home? we were terrorized by our neighbours to the point of me having a breakdown. Ive got a few suggestions to help you hun xxxx

That sounds horrendous. :( I agree call 101 to log it every time.

Sorry I've not replied.

We are still having problems with this.

The boys sister (she's older than him) was in our garden again last night, A few weeks ago she also suggested to her brother that he should punch me in the face. Obviously a lovely family! I end up feeling like I should avoid going out of the house once school is finished so I don't have to face the grief! although they bring to my house anyway! ...

reported again to police last night but the previous PO that came out didn't bother to record the visit and there is no record of them coming out! fantastic.

We own the house so can't just find a new place to rent unfortunately. What advice do you have MummyBtothree?

I now have a dummy CCTV in the kitchen window which I think put them off coming in my garden for a little while but they're back at it again!

Its really hard to know what to do about this especially as the police aren't doing anything.
