Harassment and talking of children

Hi all, I’m not sure if any of you have experience of this but I need some help. 18 months ago a new neighbour moved in. In 18 months she has launched a campaign of hate towards myself and other neighbours. This includes approx 20 malicious calls to social services regarding our very healthy and well cared for children, untold calls to the police with false accusations, one neighbour had their house raided by the home office and various agencies were also given false information. For me the most worrying aspect is that because social services stopped acting on the false allegations the neighbour took themselves to the child’s school with footage of the child and met the child’s head of year....who then passed on the false allegations to social services... The neighbour has reported me to my job and tried to get me sacked, she has thrown bags of dog poo into another neighbours garden. Two weeks ago I sent her a cease and desist letter, then I received a letter from social services saying they have received anonymous information regarding my children’s welfare. I lost it, after 18 months of harassment I finally flipped, went to her house and called her a few choice words! I then rang social services to find out I had been accused of running a drug den for children from my house! I have lived peacefully in my house for 19 years, my other neighbours also have never had a problem until this lady moved in. The police are not helping us at all. They believe everything this cunning woman tells them. I don’t know what to do now.

Are you all home owners, social tenants, private renters, or a mix?

She’s clearly harassing you and the police need to take that seriously. Id kick up a big stick if I were you.

Get everyone to write down the list of crap she has been doing and collectively go to the police.

You need to get together will all the other neighbours and write a complete record of everything, dates, times, visits from SS, police, everything.
Then send it to SS, police, school and your MP.
Concerted group action is what is needed.

Do you think that after "untold calls to the police" that maybe, maybe they might already be aware of the situation? Could it also be possible that there's quite a lot more to this story than you've been told? Hmm

Hi, we are all housing association tenants. We were recently taken over by Peabody. The neighbour has also reported our housing officer so she was taken off the case.

And what are they doing about the situation?

The neighbour who has suffered the most is an elderly Muslim lady and her niece, two days after the new neighbour moved in the girl (who is 13) was helping the new neighbour move some bags, the new neighbour asked the girl where she was from and what religion she was....the girl quiet innocently replied that she was from Sierra Leone and was Muslim, it all went downhill from then, the new neighbour sent them a Christmas card that she had made, she had cut out parts of the Bible and stuck them on the card....not long after that the false allegations started. I reported that to the housing and raised concerns, that was Christmas 2016 and nothing was or has been done since.

Thank you, unfortunately this lady is very very cunning, eloquent and knows exactly what to say to get a response.

She definitely knows how to play a game, everyone was very welcoming when she moved in, my other neighbour gave her toys etc....but then she started telling her that if children see shadows that means they can see the devil, she told her to avoid wearing black as it brings the devil....and then the false allegations started and they haven’t stopped.
