neighbours im at my wits end dont know what to do! help!!

[lovespepsimax]

Im new to this, so please bear with me.

Yesturday i had a huge row in the street with a neighbour and her mother and i was on my own and her husband had ago at me too.

Their son hit my son around the head with a stick and my son was holding his head screaming, no injuries just hurt and upset. and when i confronted the mother about it, all she could say was sort your son out, this has been going on for weeks now. My son only walked past to go to his friends, he is 8yrs old, they have a few children who hit my son and his friend with sticks everytime he goes to call for one little boy he plays nicely with and the parents stand there and do nothing about it.

Yesturday was the final straw. As soon as i said something the mother who had a baby in her arms, kept saying to me hit me go on hit me, and kept swearing at me. I just walked away. And her mother kept swearing at me and calling my son and his friend.

But im dreading today. There children have already been out and hit a little girl and its not even lunch time. Seems im the only one who will say anything to them.

I dont know what to do, i cant keep my son in.

Help

call the police and report it as an assault.

If i ring the police then tonight they will smash the windows or do something to the cars. Im stuck i would like to ring the police. as she wanted to fight with me even with a baby in her arms.

They aren't going to suddenly turn into reasonable people. Your choices are

1 - put up with it forever and a day

2 - fight them and hope you win

3 - call the police and KEEP calling the police every time they do something and go down the eviction/asbo/prosecution route in the hope of peace in the end.

what hecate said

4 - move before it gets worse

If you have a dispute with the neighbour and you call the police you would have to declare it if you tried to sell your house. Meaning if the situation gets unbearable and you want to move you may not be able to sell your house.

I really feel for you.

Thanks for the responses. I think im going to have to call the police. Im still a little worried tho, because i feel such a fool reporting a problem to the police over children fighting and the mother being fowl.

I feel like it will just escalate, but never the less i will do it.

Thanks for the support.
