Hi all, do we have any right to privacy in our back garden? (Semi-detached house). Is there anything we can do about overt, unrelenting, daily voyeurism?
Background: Basically, our neighbour’s 10 year old boy acted very inappropriately (including violence and sexual “grabbing / groping) towards my children. From that point forward, I have made it clear to my children they are to avoid him and have kept them away from him.
Present day: Neighbours have erected a shed that comes up to the level of several inches above our shared fence. Their son sits on the roof of the shed, faces our garden, dangles his feet into our garden, and stares at us while holding up an iPhone. We asked his dad if he could please ask him to come down when we are there, or at minimum face the other way. His dad says he is fine with his son being there and says he is just playing video games. He is playing games as tue music is fairly loud, but he is also overtly starting at us and not looking at the phone much of the time. We got a waist-high, large paddle pool this year. I am not comfortable getting into our pool while this boy stares and don’t want him staring at the child he assaulted either. He has done it almost every day for the past week. The parents are clearly not responding to polite, neighbourly requests.
