Bullying by adults and teens

hi there, thought id add my post onto this thread.
last week my dog was attacked for second time by another one. as this was second time i reported this to the council who gave owners a warning. they live very close to me and this happened in our local park.
since then i have had the mother come out and be aggressive an threatening towards me and also her teenage daughter and friends ie blocking our way into park shouting abuse, being pyshically threatening along with their mother.
i am now worried about leaving my house and it wont be long before they figure where i live as they have to walk past my house sometimes.
and that they will become violent. im not someone that goes around fighting and so would probably come off badly in this situation and i certainly would be in trouble if i hit a teenager if they hit me.
So basically i am suffering from anxiety and the fear of what they will do next.
i was right to report the dog as they were being irresponsible and my dog was injured on both occasions and lucky to be alive. any suggestions? the fact is these people do not operate by the rules.

Report via 101 if you really do believe that your safety is under threat.
Otherwise ignore and move on.

What a horrible situation to be in. I cannot stand bullies. I would definitely call 101 like FunLovin said. Keep a record of any incidents, make sure you write everything down with dates and times. Maybe have the list handy when you make your report to 101 so you know what you want to say.

I had a quick Google and found this site. It mentions keeping a record, looks like it has practical tips on protecting your home and advice on legal matters. Hopefully this won't go that far and they will soon get bored.

Try and carry on as normal but if you have a friend(s) who can go out with you for a while that might help you feel less anxious. Personally I would avoid that park until this dies down too. Take care of yourself I hope some of this helps.

Yes ring police if they threaten you.
So sorry this is happening to you.
It is unfair that if the teenager attacks you and you defend yourself then you will be in trouble.
My friend and i were threatened by a group of teenage lads who then threatened to stab us because we asked if they'd stop spitting next to us.
