Anti-Social behaviour concerning me and my family?

Question

Hi, Me and my family have suffered from abuse from the anti-social kids that hang around out side. I'm only 14 and I hate being subjected to it. I'm always scared, thinking when the next attack will happen, I've made it a habit to keep checking outside my window. I absolutely hate it. Why me? Why my family? We don't deserve it! This has been happening for a few years now, I'm scared to go outside because of comments they will make, scared maybe they will hit me or worse. I can count numerous times that we've had problems with them. My dad took my 2 year old sister to the park and they began throwing stones at him, while he was playing with his daughter, eggs and apples thrown at the house. We Came from holiday yesterday to find eggs smashed across the windows, part of the window cracked from a rock. We've called the police before but it's not enough, I've called them again about this incident and I'll see what happens. Please, what can we do?

Answer 1

Call the police.  And be sure to get evidence of them doing this, because chances are they'll deny it.  If you can, get fingerprints or some other scientific evidence.  People lie.  Science doesn't.

PS: LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE your screen name!  *wink*

Answer 2

I do feel for you, we are currently going through the same thing, if you live in a council house or housing assoication, then you need to go to the office, and someone will talk to you, they will give you a diary to keep of all incidents, times, places, names of those involved if you know them, once they have collated this information, they can then go to go court to get those causing the problems evicted, it can actually make things worse, but sometimes it can make it better.  Not sure how to go about it in a privately owned house, try citizen advice bureua, and keep complaining to the police, it is an offence, also if possible get a home security recording device fitted so you have video evidence of what is happening, this can be used in court.

Have you spoke to your parents about what is going on, if not you need to thell them how you are feeling, the chances are they havnt said anything to you, because they dont want to worry you, and they will be hurt to think you havnt spoke to them about you fears.

I really hope that this situation improves for you, and do not try to take the law into your own hands, as you will only end up in trouble yourself, and they are not worth that.

I am afraid the law cannot help you ,the Police have their hands tied in these matters,in my day,as a copper ,i would have clouted the lot of them ,but those days are gone,the only way,is if they are more scared or worried about what you can do.The answer lies in your imagination,never forget the mouse that roared.
