AIBU for wanting this family relocated??

This woman and her unruly children got evicted from a house in Efford. They got placed on the same street as me 😭

[link removed at OP's request]

The children (youngest about 6yo) are out at all times, causing a lot of trouble. They shout/sware at the people who live around here.
They vandalise the area, they have thrown stones etc at peoples property, graffiti the area.etc..they are violent towards the other children around here.
Linda shouts/screams/swears at her children all of the time.
Her children litter and vandalise the area. They also badly bully a lot of the children in this area including my DD.
The mother is very racist towards Muslims, and she harasses one of the lovely Muslim family’s on our street. Shouting/swearing racist slurs whenever she sees anybody from this family.

The police won’t do anything, they just say to “log it”
The Muslim family have complained to the council and police about her family, but they keep getting fobbed off.
Does anybody know if we can be listened to? Or what rights we as a community have?

I don’t think I ABU as they have to live somewhere, but surely not here....? Not when they are so anti-social??
I’m prepared to be told I’m wrong, as I’ve not slept well for weeks, so my perspective may be a bit off ? 🤷‍♀️

Their even.

So outraged I can't spell. Hmm

Rubyupbeat · 10/08/2019 20:15

Sadly they will always be someone's neighbours

Thank you all for the help and suggestions. I probably shouldn’t have uploaded the video, just thought I’d do it to show what they are like. I’m not exaggerating etc. I will ask for the video to be removed.

I am gobsmacked that a news outlet and police officer would be involved with a video like that. Seems completely inappropriate to show the children's images and names.

Hang on that video is nearly 10 years old, so they got evicted then and placed on your street 9 years later? And they still have young kids?

Probably best to remove the video op
😂😂😂😂😂

@foreverandeveramen
A bit ironic in that you’ve doubled the chances of identifying the family by copying the identifying post 🤣🤣

witchesGlove I really want to move, but OH doesnt want to.

PennyPitStop19 · 10/08/2019 20:27

How can they identify that 15 year old boy like that- poor children, they have to live somewhere and the more unsettled they are the worse their behaviour will be.

RubbingHimSourly · 10/08/2019 20:29

Lily I'm sure you'd be wringing your hands and thinking of the children if they moved onto your street Hmm

This family are already known in the media and that woman literally won't give a rats ass if they're identified. She'll be too busy revelling in it.

mellicauli · 10/08/2019 20:30

I would move

I've also reported it, hopefully the thread will be gone soon and MN won't be in any trouble for hosting it.

ChicCroissant · 10/08/2019 20:33

I haven't watched the video but I don't think it's appropriate to use MN to publicise it tbh OP.

JuniperSling · 10/08/2019 20:34

So they haven't been dealt with at all, just palmed off onto another area for them to put up with. My sympathies lie with the people affected by this terrible behaviour, rather than the perpetrators.

PortiaCastis · 10/08/2019 20:35

The video is 9 years old and it's best if it's removed from here

Cherrysoup · 10/08/2019 20:37

Like I just said on another thread about awful fucking neighbours, move. What do you mean, your oh doesn't want to move? He'd rather suffer this bunch of shit heads? And let the kids be bullied?

Smileyaxolotl1 · 10/08/2019 20:49

But why should she move? Why shouldn’t these scumbags be dealt with?
Why should they be allowed to ruin people’s lives?
And those who say where should they live? If they are incapable of behaving like civilised human beings then on the street and the children taken into care.
And I agree with the poster above who said that the Muslim family should definitely repeatedly report. It’s their race which is making them a target so the police have a duty of care to deal with this aspect harshly.

LadyRannaldini · 10/08/2019 20:49

I suppose the problem is they physically have to live somewhere.

Why do the 'rights' of people like this always trump the rights of decent people to live a peaceful life? Personally I don't care where they live, maybe there needs to be a desert island to keep them all together.

Lilyofthefields · 10/08/2019 20:56

Lily I'm sure you'd be wringing your hands and thinking of the children if they moved onto your street Hmm

Of course I'd feel sorry for them. I can be affected by their behaviour and still appreciate that they are children and a product of their upbringing. Besides, there's a reason that, in this country, victims of crime don't decide the law.

ohtheholidays · 10/08/2019 21:18

If I was you OP or your neighbours that are being affected by the familys behaviour I'd be reporting all of your worries to the NSPCC and SS when ever you see the children being neglected(which sounds like it would be alot)and report every incidence of anti social behaviour,so any violence,any threats of violence,any racism,throwing stones at people's property,taking other people's property to the police and keep on complaining to the council as well.

Constantly contacting SS and the NSPCC may finally mean that the children's welfare is dealt with and if they are removed from the mother,which it sounds like that would be the best outcome for the children within that family the children will hopefully get a chance at a normal life and all of you would hopefully get your neighbourhood back.

Like a PP said the squeaky wheel approach is what you all need to take.

Also find out who your local MP is as well and all of that you that can afford to should think about fitting CCTV,any damage,racism,threats of violence ect can be recorded and shown to the police and your local council.

PooWillyBumBum · 10/08/2019 21:24

Unless you own your home I would just move, I googled some words from your post and it came up with the video I assumed you linked it, of their eviction.

Either move or start logging and reporting everything immediately.

I had nightmare neighbours and in the end sold up and moved, the weird thing was that in order to sell I had to find similar to them and in the end they also moved due to the new neighbours being too noisy.

Rainonmyguitar · 10/08/2019 22:25

The amount of do-gooders on this thread is infuriating. Who gives a shit if they're identified?

I would love to move, but we couldn’t realistically get what we have here for the money we could sell our house for ☹️
