Me and my elderly neighbor fell out over 4 years ago because we applied for planning permission for a extension. The neighbors set up a petition to stop us from been granted the planning permission and even involved our local MP. We where granted planning permission then the problems began the neighbor phoned the police because we got the planning permission then we had a fire in a fire burner and she rang the fire brigade twice, and continuously called the police on anything we done eg parking the car on a public road.
now the neighbor has rung the police on my 4 and 8 year old stating they intimidate her, However they are not totally innocent they did shot some plastic into her garden and the football goes over .
Yes my 4 year old was in the wrong for shotting plastic into her garden and was disciplined for this and i have stopped them from playing football in our garden to keep the peace.
So the police came saying my 4 and 8 year old where abusive to her (they asked for their ball back in which she said they had to wait for it, hey they kicked it over so there loss). Then she said my 4 year old climbs on our fence and intimidates her (he is not allowed to climb on the fence and is told when he does so).
So then again 2 days later police come knocking again this time she complained about all the previous complaints which had already been dealt with which the children had been told about their behavior, and this time a shoe the boys where playing flip the shoe of your foot and one went over her garden and this resulted in another telling off by the police.
they told me if it continues they will get the harassment unit onto us and they where going to complain to our landlord (i feel judged) we own our home.
What can i do the police have already made their minds up before they get to my home that we are in the wrong and totally bad neighbors.

This makes me so mad, I don't understand why people are so intolerant of children these days. I was on a aeroplane once and an elderly couple were very loudly complaining that a tiny baby was crying, what are the parents supposed to do? The couple were making far more noise than the baby.

My dd regularly kicks her ball over into the neighbour's garden so my neighbour told her she was welcome to come and get it anytime she liked and without permission. In my mind that's how reasonble adults should behave. Sorry I don't have any practical advice.

My dd's do kick there shoes of and see who can get them the highest. They have been known to kick them into gardens. I remeber being young and knocking on peoples doors to ask for my ball back. Happys right, times have gone crazy. My dd was learning to ride her bike in the street and was doing grate. Unfortunately she took a wobbly detour and crashed into my neighbours car. I was dreading knocking on the door. I told him i would get it repaired as their dad is a spray painter (i still would have paid). He was lovely and said accidents happen and the bumper was repaired. I still got a xmas card and selection boxes for xmas.
