To have told my mum to go to the police

[HaudYerWheeshtYaWeeBellend]

My mum moved to a new area/house, without any knowledge regarding the area/neighbours she was moving to.

Fast forward a few weeks and my mum and her partner and grandchild was threatened with a knife, amongst other things, by the alcoholic neighbour as she refused to give him money for alcohol, she has had to flee the property.

She was not going to phone the police, however as she has made herself "homeless" she won't be eligible for new housing as a priority/direct allocation

My mum has acute MH illnesses herself and hasn't reported it as she cannot cope with the backlash, however she needs to get her belongings, I've made her report it to the police simply because of her housing situation and to ensure her safety when she goes to pack the house.

AIBU to have forced endure the trauma, she's apparently scared as he's from a big family with connections

I think you’ve done the right thing; I would have done the same. You are helping her to gain new accommodation which she really needs

I think that's fine.
Have the police said they will support her with collecting her belongings?

you did the right thing, where is her dp ?

You did the right thing
Victim support may help her too

I'm hoping that will be the outcome in that the police will help get her belongings and also this will aid her to get accommodation.

My sister thinks IABU, as it's not how things work in their country my hometown however I live in another country in the UK and work in this social housing, and have dealings with Scotland's housing sectors, apparently I've put my mum through extra stress when she's already stressed.

I asked my sister how she thinks Mum will get a new house and she told me they will have to give her one as it's not her fault they've moved her next to psychopath.... in telling her it's her word against his she said they will just have to believe her... and give her a house... I said mum has waited over 4 years for this house... so how does she propose they magically have a house suitable for her... I was then subjected to a barrage of abuse and told it's not how it works in her country 250 miles away
