Please give me some help...a friend is getting badly bullied by teens?

Question

I asked about this earlier...she is getting intimidated in her ownhome by 3 teenage girls..they are 15..she is 42...she has recently moved to the area (lives alone) and they have been spitting on her in the street and calling her names and they have entered her house while she was out and were standing in her kitchen when she came in. They did not take or damage anything..they just stood there and laughed at her and then went out again...their families are really rough...so she wont tell their parents either.the girls say if she goes to the police and the police go to their houses they will badly hurt her...so she is too scared to complain..as she suspects the council will take a long time to rehouse her...I am afraid to complain on her behalf as what if they DID hurt her? I would be to blame! I think the police wont be able to hold them as they are minors and my friend has no proof of what they are doing...it is sly intimidation...and this woman is becoming a prisoner in her own home

Answer 1

Have her buy a pit bull. Kids go in the house, they get attacked. Kids try to hurt her, they get attacked. Having a dog solves so many issues, and dogs are always nice to their owners :-)

Or just get security for the house, and buy a taser. kids go in house, taser them... thats always fun. If police question you, just say you saw someone in the house and panicked. They'll believe you over a couple of teenage kids.

I have other ideas, but those are the easiest ones to do...

Answer 2

lock the doors and keep them out.  and throw them out. Get video evidence of what they are doing or record it on a tape recorder.

Answer 3

GO TO THE COUNCIL,GO TO THE POLICE AND FINALLY TELL THE PAPERS AND SHAME THESE UNHUMAN SCUM.

Answer 4

does she have a large intimidating - looking relative

he doesn't have to do anything

bullies are cowards

she needs better locks in her house

can she get an alarm system /

could she have a dog in her life???

as a final straw she could try to make the parents acquaintance

they don't have to be best friends but if she could get on speaking or at least nodding terms the girls may back off

she will not want to associate with this type of person but you cant have all the Indians outside the tent pissing in

you need a few inside the tent pissing out

Answer 5

OMG! This is just mean. She needs to have some kind of surveillance and keep it as evidence. I would call the police. I say she calls the cops to report it. They are going to be mean to her one way or another. She's damned if she does and damned if she doesnt. I say she gets a pitbull!

Answer 6

i agree with R.H, she needs to stand up for herself

Answer 7

This is a hard one, first i can understand that she is scared to go to the police because they will be slow and they will drag there feet and the girls will probably only be warned, BUT if you could try to vidoe tape it from a hidden spot where you cant be seen when they abuse her in the street and if she can set up a hidden camera in her house to catch then coming in then the police will be more inclined to help because they have the abuse on tape and they will have break and enter proof as well. Little Bit!#'s like them make it hard for people because they think because of there age they are un touchable and they think that most people would be too scared to report them because they would feel embarresd from being bullied by them, they have to stop as it is totally wrong and if they keep getting away with it they might really turn violent and no one wants that. So she should tell the police see what they say and then i think you should help her get proof  because they have no right to do that and i would foot them so hard up the bum that there smug little noses would bleed for a week, Good luck and i hope things work out for your friend, its so wrong i feel so bad for her and id help if i could.

Answer 8

She might be scared but she needs to call the police and get this reported. The police have the right to tell those teen parents. Also she needs to get a restraining order againist them has well. They can't so many feet from her if they do she call the police and then they get into trouble since there been is restraining order againist them. And go to to the council has well.

Answer 9

I am a police officer and hate this kind of people, they do it cos they know they can get away with it.  She can put a camera covering her own property and so have proof of their antics.  She can have them arrested for harassment for their behaviour, assault for spitting on her and even burglary if they are going in her home.  If she makes a complaint against them they will be arrested and have bail conditions in place to not go near her or her home, if they do this, they can again be arrested.  The only way to stop them is to persist, even though it seems scary.  Police can even install a panic alarm in her house if she fears she may be targetted after making a complaint.  The more evidence she has she could even get an ASBO (Anti Social Behaviour Order) against them, more youths are going to jail for this in the UK as its easily detectable.  This means they wont even be allowed in her street.

This however is based for UK and if your US im not sure how your law would apply so if i was you, i would talk to your local police officer and see what they can offer for protection and results.

Hope this helps and you can get these s**t's dealt with.

Answer 10

Involve the POLICE immediately, she can claim, trespass, intimidation and assault as spitting on someone is an assault as is verbal abuse which is 'verbal assault'.

Contact you local Police station and ask for the local bobby to visit her A.S.A.P.

Let it go unchallenged and it will get a lot worse GUARANTEED.

Answer 11

I agree! She needs to tell these girls that if they continue to harass her that she will take legal action. Oh my god, if someone did this to me, I would be the one going to jail!

Answer 12

She still needs to go to the police.  She needs to tell them that they threatened her if she went to the police.  They should put a restraining order on the girls.  Besides that, if they entered her house, that is breaking and entering even if they didn't steal anything or vandalize any thing.  You can't just go into someones home when they are not there. The best thing that you can do is just to be there for her.  Is there anyone who can come and stay with her for a while?

Answer 13

That's really horrible that she has to go through that. Now, if they entered her house, that's against the law. She should call the police, and from that moment on never be alone, just in case. If they hurt her, that's even worse for both parties. But this is a major thing and she needs to deal with it, with all the help she can get. Why are they doing that? What can possess a human being to be so rude to someone else? I've often wondered this. It's so sad. But definitely have her phone the police (in your company, if that would help), because she cannot go on living like this. It's totally unfair. Phone the cops and have her stay with you for the time being. Good luck with everything, and I pray nothing bad happens.
