My neighbour is somewhat 'off her head'.
She is a single mother with a 2 year old child. We have deep concerns over the child's wellbeing and safety.
We own our home whilst our neighbour rents from a housing association, so we won't be moving from our home for her!
Since she moved in (heavily pregnant) we have had constant issues with her and have complained to her landlord about her screaming, shouting and carrying on all times of day and night.
Since the child was born things have got even worse!
We have had police involved over domestic issues between her and her boyfriend which has included physical and verbal violence. On occasions when her boyfriend (assuming the child's father) visits now, she takes her kid out onto the driveway and the dad spends time with the child in his car on her driveway (and this can be at 10 o'clock at night!).
She doesn't seem to get up before 2pm (this means the child is still in pyjamas in his cot at this time) we can hear the kid rattling at the cot to get out! We have seen him in the garden in his pyjamas at 3pm, he's not even been dressed. We can then here her screaming at the kid to "get to bed" at 11/12 o'clock at night! No wonder he can't sleep at night when he's in bed all day!
We have had issues with her playing dance music ridiculously loud (which we can hear over our TV and washing machine) this happens on a daily basis. This is beyond annoying and frustrating for us but that poor kid must be deaf by now!
The shouting and swearing continues (at her child) - she was at it again this morning - I recorded her shouting "where's my phone/give me f phone/why you touching it" and then she ordered the poor child back to bed at 10.30am.
She has previously locked herself out of the house with the child inside, her reaction to this was to kick and punch her patio doors screaming at the kid (who was howling his little head off - 18m old at the time) "open the f door".
We can smell weed from her direction and have reported this, again, we're told there is no evidence to act on this and she has had several different men around at her property where we can hear her having sex - really loudly (so her child will obviously hearing it).
We have called the police a few times over these incidents but they don't seem too bothered and give the impression that we have nothing better to do than phone them and have in fact told us to stop phoning unless they need to come out to respond to something i.e. an emergency.
Our neighbour has been around to our house and threatened me stating if I call police on her again then it will be me needing them. The police state that this is not a threat unless she is physically carrying an attack out on me as she is saying it and refused to act on it. Her mother has been around to the house threatening me telling me to move and telling me that my family cannot park outside MY driveway as she doesn't like it and also I will never have her daughter evicted (funny enough this woman works with a housing project company) - the police again did not follow up on this.
We have had noise recording equipment in the house several times, provided by environmental health, they have evidence all of this is going on but they are to and fro-ing with the housing association as to who's problem this is to deal with.
We contacted the police again last week due to the neighbour's boyfriend turning up at 4am, smashing his car windows in on the driveway before taping up the window holes and leaving at 5am (leaving glass all over the driveways and road). Again not bothered and they in fact told us to contact the council about any problems re: noise! Never mind the fact that someone is stood outside my house at 4am with a hood up, smashing a car up!
Our next step is take all our evidence to the social services/NSPCC as no-one else is bothered. The only thing with this is the amount of trouble that comes with it (we have already had 2 threats!) which they know the police aren't bothered about.
What else do we do?
