..... because they have destroyed my daughters "garden". DD4 has special needs ... we cant use most of our garden because the neighbours use it as the local tip, and as a toilet for their two dogs.its not safe.
there is a small strip of garden at the front of the house that is usually kept really tidy .... its mine and too far from the neighbours door for them too dump their rubbish.
DD4 has a thing for flowers.... she has few words and flowers is one she will say without prompt and with understanding.
so we decided that we would grow dd4 some flowers.
Together , dd4 and i planted some flower seeds in a corner, and i put some edging down to make it seperate from the grass. Then we waited for the flowers to grow.
they started to come up and blossom.... every day DD4 would go to her wee "garden" and say flowers, she'd mabey pick one and be grining for the rest of the day.
this doesnt sound much, but is a big big thing for DD4 , she has learning difficulties/suspected autism and was so attached to her wee space.
Today , when we returned from the doctors, we found that the edging has been riped up for the second time and her flowers have been trampled on.... the rose bush that was planted has had all the branches kicked so there hanging off...... neighbours were sitting laughing when the saw dd4 scream when she saw what they did..... the daughter had a vile smirk when she saw us come up the garden path....How can anyone do this to a disabled child?
