I don’t know what to do now

[ThePeachViewer]

I live in a block of flats and my next door neighbour keeps on banging on my door saying he will kill my kids he has smashed my son’s bedroom window. And Broke my ring doorbell I have called the police 5 times in the past week and they are taking notes of it but still haven’t gone to his flat yet . he has to walk past my flat every he gose out . I have had a word with him saying my son is only 4! 4 years old yet you think you can tell him to kill himself and smash his bedroom window. all he said was it’s not my son I don’t care get rid of that boy. I might give my landlord a ring I don’t know if they will do anything I don’t know. But I can’t live like this anymore.

Oh my good god. How frightening for you both. I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with this vile man.

I would be ringing the police twice a day, every day. I don’t know what else to suggest.

Same I am taking my son to my mum’s today and he is staying there till Tuesday because he needs a break.

Did you not bother reading the thread before you put the boot in @Runoutofmilk ?

Course it will, she’ll get loads of advice on here. Police officers, housing officers, landlords, social workers, council workers, Citizens Advice, other Mums that have been in similar situations can all offer their thoughts.

Give her a break.

I have another son who is older that I forgot to mention about but he has left and went to his dads I would take my 4 year old son to his dads but his dad is dead after a heart attack that’s why I am living here I could not afford the house we was living in.

Surely banging on your door and threats to kill is a 999 situation. Do it? After the reports of the Nottingham case I’m wondering if he is unmedicated? If so then very dangerous. Can you describe the incident where he is threatening? Is he drunk/ Drugs? IDs it random or in an argument with you? Noise related? Get your Ring door bell fixed asap

What do you know about his situation? Does he own/rent/council?

if renting call the estate agent, call a few if you don’t know which one, thus behaviour will be in breach of his tenancy agreement. Council/HA will have a number to report, he may have a housing officer

you've really made yourself look silly here. And outed yourself as more than a bit of a bitch.

Council he is just me one day he just banned on my door saying your son should go kill himself and after that he smashed my sons bedroom window and now my son has scars all down his face from it . He said I don’t care it’s not my son get rid of the boy .

Can you get a security camera to record his threats and behaviour. Keep a log of what he says or does. And call the police every time he threatens your family or hits things.

We are not allowed cameras in the hallway because it’s not in your property and the camera can see the whole hallway ring doorbells only see him walk past

He smashed your window and injured your four year old child and the police haven't done anything? That's shockingly poor.

No, the latest development is that OP has called the police 5 times already this week. So probably doesn't need to be told to call the police, but offered some support.

I would call 999 every single time this happens. It sounds horrific, I'm so sorry you are going through this

It really is my other neighbour’s on my floor call the police to and are aware of it it’s only me and my 4 year old son who get abused my older son went to move in with his dad because of it.

Stop replying if you’re not even reading it properly.

How did your son get scars "all down his face" from the window being smashed?

When was that?

What happened when you rang the Police and reported the assault on your son and his injuries?

What did the hospital say when you told them how his Injuries happened? Were the Police in attendance there?

The police just took notes it happened on Thursday night at about 10 at night my son was in bed and because his bed is next to the window because there is no where else to put it the glass went all over his little face

@Runoutofmilk this is only the second thread I’ve read on MN this morning but it’s the second thread where you have failed to read (or comprehend) the OP, put the boot in and made yourself look stupid in the process.

perhaps today is not the day for you eh?

OP, if your ring doorbell is fixed / replaced, when you hear him walking past go to live view on the app and screen record. Even if he's not in the view it'll record what he's saying. That way you get round the no cameras rule. Or start recording him on your phone? You can do a voice recording or a video even if you don't put it right in his face and just stand behind the door it should pick up what he's saying.

I agree with PPs the threat to kill is a new development and you should keep reporting this man.

i am going to not get my door bell replaced this is my 13th one so far I might just stick to recording it from my phone.

OFGS!

What was the point of that?

Do you feel better now?

I'd be ringing the police every single time (as it sounds like you and your neighbours have done) and also it wouldn't hurt to contact the landlord too.
What on earth has he got against you and your son?!
