Police called out to my crying screaming daughter!

[paulanthony1976]

Hi everyone,
So our families bank holiday was ruined by a knock at the door on Saturday night at 10.30pm by the police. Someone had reported a disturbance from our home which the police came to investigate.

I was in bed already, as were the kids, and my wife was getting ready for bed when they knocked us up and interrogated us like criminals. About an hour earlier my 3 year old daughter had been kicking screaming crying tantrum as she didn't want to go to bed, but she soon wore herself out and was fast asleep when the cops came.

They took my kids names and birthdays and school details etc, as well as my wives and mine personal and work details. They had a good look around the house, checked on the kids sleeping in their rooms, asked us lots of questions and then left. Upon leaving the police told us they were satisfied that it was a false alarm, that the matter was closed, and that we had nothing to be worried about.

The next day on Bank Holiday Sunday at 9am, the police returned to our cul-de-sac, knocked on all our friends/neighbours doors and asked lots of questions about our family and if they had heard noise. Needless to say when the police left all our friendly neighbours came back over to us to tell us about their interviews with the police and to get the gossip from us and to express their support to us, and to condemn the "snake in the grass" living among us, and the for wasting the police time.

Although we had done nothing wrong, we now feel like criminals, and losing sleep worrying. Not to mention being gossiped about by our neighbours, even though all our kids play together in the street.

We are really angry at being falsely accused of something, a 3 year old cannot legally create a disturbance, can they? also angry at being told it was a closed matter, when then the next day they came back to interrogate our friends and neighbours. Can I complain for harassment and intimidation, or for defamation and libel?

I am now walking on broken glass every time my kids throw a tantrum and fearful of another public complaint or visit by the police and/or social services.

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcomed please.

I was going to google if it was medically documented of people getting measles from the MMR jab, but then I had to go out to work.

Seriously laughing at paulanthonypaulatony worreva.

So, can I rewrite the exchange between HQ and OP.

OP "whinge whinge whine whine they're all being horrid, I am being bullied, nasty witchy vipers etc etc"
HQ "hello OP, we are keeping an eye on the thread and if people start to be dead twatty to you we will delete things we consider inappropriate yada yada, soothy brow, platitudes"

Then nobody was twatty and nobody got deleted.

Someone was caught being a leedle bit of a fibber though I think. Tut tut.

The End. lol.

Drank-you have posted exactly what I wanted to say.
But daren't - I get into trouble.
lol (!)

Evening all! Just a reminder of our Talk Guidelines. www.mumsnet.com/info/netiquette

The-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e.......................

END!

Lol.

Iona please could you do a quick summary and explain why everyone needs reminding.

She's just not vibrant enough for us young folk!

So in precis a concerned neighbour calls Police regarding children who scream and cry.

Police possibly ask if there's any reason to suspect abuse?

Caller says I don't know I'm just telling you what I hear (maybe on a regular basis, who knows but it sounds possible given some of the OP's accounts)

Police say OK we'll check that out, thanks for letting us know.

Then the soap opera starts and in the end we find out that the child was actually screaming (on this occasion) through potential unnoticed ill health.

There just isn't any way the OP comes out of this well.

Oh dear.

Is it the end yet?

Is THIS the end?

Please don't make me use those earplugs now, campers.

@ Sangria

Oops X posted 'LOL'

is the end, beautiful friend.

Nicies and trolls,
Unfortunately our health visitor was to blame for a misdiagnosis, turns out only 1-2% of kids ever get measles from MmR according to GP

seen GP too now, who diagnosed that its her second bowt of chicken pocks, didn't even know that kids could get it twice in as many years! she had it very bad before when she was one, do hopefully this time won't be so severe.

Yes, chicken pox is more believable.

Is that THE END now?

Isuroeised you didn't recognise the symptoms as it is such a short time since the last bout of cp

Oh well better luck next time

Second bout of chicken pox? Days after catching measles from an MMR?

I expect your DD will be in the Lancet before too long.

Congratulations x

Chicken pox?

Twice in 2 years?

Misdiagnosed as measles (who diagnosed measles btw?)

Yes that's much more likely.

It's a funny thing. You are a person who is so involved in your children's lives you have no time for yourself

But yet you somehow managed to miss the fact that she was ill, and completley fail to notice the chicken pox, assuming instead it was measles.

Well. Whatever next?

Wow, bad week Paula/Tony. Harassed by bastarding police, victimised by evil elderly neighbour, bullied by Mumsnet and now a second bout of chicken pox.

I'd be surprised if you're still feeling vibrant.

Troll hunting is not allowed Paula/Tony.

The op certainly wins weirdest and most inconsistent poster of the week award. End of.
