Hi guys, first post!
Basically I had two friends in the area, and a while ago one raised a few issues with me and we made up. Recently she's been reported to DWP for fraud. She started acting weird with me and I knew I was getting the blame, finally DH and I where confronted. We of course assured her it wasn't us, and she told us a few details DWP had on her (which where inaccurate to my knowledge and hers). She accused me of asking too many questions, which I thought where what friends do during conversations like "how is DH getting on with new job?"
Basically friend no2 is in her camp. We live in a poor area with alot of these goings on with DWP footing the bill, but I know it's not the area tando be on tjr wrong side of people and I would never risk that. I've started getting messages on Facebook from other parents and people in the area saying they heard I was talking about them (only to friend no2 who knows everyone and she's done most of the talking!)
I'm now known in the area as a clipe/grass/snitch and I don't feel safe. DS1 walks home alone after school, but DS2 needs collecting from nursery at 4. This is where the 3 of us met Confused I'm not sure how to avoid the whole thing as she won't hear out my side of being innocent and says I was jealous (I'm not sure of What!) Last time this all blew up I was threatened with all sorts. I can't prove I'm innocent (can I?) and she will never believe it wasn't me unless someone else steps forward! I'm 99% sure she's been waiting for a chance to turn everyone against me. Just needed to vent really. Would would u do in my position?

When we were in a similar situation DH was accused of 'grassing' on drug dealing neighbours the police advised us to move for our own safety. Apparently the previous occupants of our house had to do the same thing. It really depends how nasty the people in your area are likely to be over this. Is it something that will all blow? If you are worried for your safety you should speak to the local police about your concerns.

Crikey! That sounds difficult to deal with. Has she or have other people made specific threats to you or to your family?

These types of things can be crazy-making. Do you have anyone in RL you can talk to about this? I would consider blocking people on Facebook if you feel harassed by them. Sometimes when these conversations take place in writing the resultant misunderstandings can be worse in my experience.
