He's a horrible aggresssive 15 year old who has been excluded from school and who roams the neighbourhood with his also excluded cousin annoying people and doing criminal damage.
He started being a nuisance pretty much the week we moved in three years ago. He and his friends cherry knocked on our door every Saturday and some Wednesdays (whenever his mum did a night shift basically) for 18 months. Now they've graduated to pushing the cope stones off our wall, pushing bits of fence in and abuse in the street.
He swore at me in the street on Wednesday and I went and explained to his mum that I'm not having it, could he come round and apologise please? She phoned him and he came round and pushed my fence in....
DH was working at home. He heard a big crack, looked out of the back window to see Vile Youth and Vile Cousin legging it down the alley (no-one else in sight) and phoned the police. They gave a stern talking to to VY and VC but since DH didn't see specific act they are powerless.
Well it's all kicked off now.
DH was coming back from the shop on Saturday night at about 8 when one of a pair of men going the other way together called him a "fcking cnt" and told his friend that my DH had "accused his family" of something. He then made specific threats of violence towards DH and me and our children which are apparently so bad that DH won't even tell me what they were.
DH didn't look at him so can't identify. He said the man looked pissed, and was clearly on his way from the pub, and since he couldn't identify him he has done nothing about it.
AIBU to want to try and speak to VY's mum and smooth things over if I can? The police have told us to avoid all of them at all times, and I am slightly afraid of making things worse. But then how much worse could it get?
Would YOU talk to the mum or not?
