Right I need advise cause am so so worried.

My son has autism and adhd, he does yell and shout a lot and where we stay there a group of kids they get on some days then don't a woman has now made a petition and sent it round neighbours to get us evicted. Am absolutely bricking it. Can she do this? I do discipline him he's not malicious he just struggles keeping friends they hurt him he hurts them back they gang up on him he's no angel but either are the other kids.

Today she had a stone in her hand threatening him and let her 14 year old son nip him until he bled. She also called him a ginger bastard and told him he had no soul and wanted him to die.

I have phoned 101 to make a complaint about her but am generally so scared incasw they all sign it and we are homeless.

What's my rights guys? Can she do this? And what should I be doing?

Hope someone can help me xxx

to you. OP. This all sounds v hard. All the best to you

To answer your question, no she can’t just have a list of signatures from the neighbours to get you out by next week. It doesn’t work like that at all.

There was a woman in my mum’s block who had people in and out of her house who were CONSTANTLY causing problems for all of the neighbours. Every single one of them were constantly calling the council to complain. They had a list of names and signatures of people who wanted her to move out. Because there was so evidence against this woman (police involvement, social services etc) the council took her to court and eventually evicted her. That took around a year and a half if I’m not mistaken.

This really seems like a matter of your neighbour not liking you and your son for whatever reason. Even if people sign this petition thing, the council won’t ask you to believe solely because of that. They may have a chat with you and be like ‘we’ve had a complaint about xyz, what can you do about it to move forward’ but councils are so busy these days I’d be surprised if they even contact you to say that lol.

You’ll be fine don’t worry about it. Just keep your doors inside like you’ve said and look after yourself
