I know it’s against the lockdown rules but I feel really unsafe at home at the moment. I’d appreciate any advise.
I’m having issues with my neighbour - they’ve been treating their child appallingly, with physical threats which have escalated since lockdown started. It was severe - threatening to really hurt them. I did the right thing and reported them, I was (and am) genuinely worried about the child’s welfare.
They guessed it was me, and things have got progressively worse over the last three weeks. We have a communal area where parcels are left - mine have all been disappearing, obviously I cannot prove it was this neighbour who took my stuff but I’ve never had these issues before.
The neighbour has several times been standing directly outside my front door when I go to take DC out - I’m guessing they hear us getting our shoes on and then intentionally stand in our doorway to be intimidating. Again, I cannot prove this but it’s really unsettling.
They have also done a malicious, false report about us - with totally incorrect information, the accusations hold no weight but add to my feelings of not being particularly safe here anymore. I had a phone call from a social worker who said that malicious reports aren’t uncommon and she was very understanding, I was also able to give her more information about what I’ve heard my neighbours do/say involving their children.
I’ve put down a holding deposit for a new property and I’m really hoping my application is accepted and we can move there ASAP - but even so, I know it’ll be a slower process than usual because of coronavirus.
So my AIBU is - AIBU to go and stay with family members in the meantime? This neighbour is incredibly volatile, angry and aggressive and I feel like I’m at risk here at the moment, I don’t think they will let up at all, I think they are likely to get worse
