Answer 1

what are you trying to do?  what is the problem?  is somweone stalking you?  is somene threatening your chidren?  give us details

Answer 2

Speak to your local representative or some other government agency.

Make written notes of what's happening. Buy a digital camera to record sound and pictures. Keep a record of what's happening to show

to Police later.

Answer 3

umm put a camara outside the house or move out or talk to your daughters about not opening the door.

Answer 4

Have a seat in front of the unlocked door and have him beg for mercy as you pull the trigger. The police are nothing more than a clean up crew...so you need to make sure they have a mess to clean up.

Answer 5

Buy a .45 caliber handgun or a 12 gauge shotgun and leave your front door unlocked.

Answer 6

ARE YOU SURELY sure 100% it is one of your neighbor that keeps knocking at your door? Since he is a neighbor you know his name or what room he is in? Yup it is really disturbing to know someone is knocking at your door early at 4 o'clock in the morning. And you are all girls in the house. You are in a wheel-chair I presume when you said you are a handicap. You're eldest daughter I presume knows this neighbor of yours since according to your question, she pretend to leave the house and was followed by these guy. So take it from there, ask your daughter to file a police report and describe the guy who keeps on knocking at your door. Calling the police is one thing but they hardly respond to just calling them it is much better one of your daughter which is the eldest go to the nearest police station and file the report, and together with the description of the guy. So that next time you call the police might show up since you got a police report already.

IT IS UP to you to guide the police where this guy is, who keeps on knocking at your door. He is probably just live near by because he can come anytime or early morning, if he lives a mile away I doubt he will use a car to drive there just to knock doors. He wants something that is obvious, keeps you all scared because he knows that there is no male inside your house.

YOU AIN'T GOT NO male relatives who live near you there in Texas? or perhaps male friends who can help in these kind of situation? You are virtually all alone? Calling the police is annoying for the cops to investigate esp. early morning hours. Here is some of my advice, jot down the time most frequently the guy comes around your house and knocks, it varies of course the time he may come at 2 in the morning or 3 but within the week you can clearly know the pattern of his behaviour which time he usually come and knocks. Now that you determine the pattern, invite the police to your own house and wait so that they will believe what you are talking about, within 1 to 4 in the morning of course all of you will be awake this is how to catch a mice that is. If it succeeded you will find out who this guy is and what the heck does he want from you. Isn't this your ex husband, who else would know where you live. And make notes who are the guys who will do this to you, imagine who you met, your past relationship etc. I suppose this guy knows you very well or you know him that much who else will knock at 4 in the morning, this is not a ghost I presume from the grave yard near by.

Answer 7

personally, id somehow try to knock some sense into him, hes no good, this could serious.. have a talk with him, get cameras if you have too.. take him to court..

Answer 8

Buy a gun

Answer 9

You could get a security system for your house just to be safe. Also a gun. Sounds like this guy is a really big stalker. Also what you can do is ask the police again to stake out your house that way they can catch the guy in the act.

Good luck and be safe.

Answer 10

Ask a neighbor that can see your front door if he/she would mind if you called them and they called 911 for you?? Explain the problem, then when the police show up - file a complaint - the neighbor will be a witness (they need to look out the window/their front door and see them. KEEP YOUR PORCH VERY WELL LIT so they can see it.

Have you tried talking to the offending neighbors - and find out what the issue is? Or is there a language barrier?

Answer 11

Oh jeez, maybe you should tell a close relative? Or a close friend you can trust, who lives nearby. So that next time he does it again, you can call them for help. Make sure you keep your house securely locked. Continue to report this to the police so eventually they will do something about it after a few times of having to check it out. Maybe if you have a co-operative neighbour, tell them too so they can help keep a look out. Good luck!!!

Answer 12

While he is knocking, call 911. Seriously, if you call 911 the police HAVE to respond immediately. Tell them that you have a weirdo at your door and give them a description of him, in case he takes off. Also, ask the police for "extra patrols" of your house. Keep calling the police until they get off their butt enough times to catch the guy.

Answer 13

You should be able to file nusance charges against him.  It is amazing that at 4 am he has nothing better to do.  If you must call the police again, STRESS that you are handicap, with children in the house, and need some assiatance.  If nessary strech the truth if that is what it takes to get them out there.  May be if he sees a police car, he will stop!   Good Luck   Be SAFE!!

Answer 14

That's scary. I'm sorry this is happening. Unfortunately though, no crime has been committed so there's not much the cops CAN do. You should continue to report him each and every time this happens, and check around the neighborhood to see if this happening to other neighbors. Keep your doors shut and locked, and make sure the girls know not to answer the door for him (or anyone). If you need additional security, buy more locks, window bars, or even a cheap alarm system to protect your family. If you have a teenage or adult male relative who is up for a move (and trustworthy!), ask him to come stay with you. If you are able to move to another neighborhood, I would. This is pretty scary and annoying, and who knows what this man's intentions are or what he's capable of. Good luck... stay diligent.

Answer 15

Wow, what a terrible feeling.  If you don't own a gun or a taser and pepper spray, you need to.  A baseball bat wouldn't hurt either.  Make sure your girls never answer that door.  I would complain to the police again too,(even if those good for nothings don't do anything) make a report so there is a paper trail, and also think positive thoughts, imagine you all in a protective light, or pray, whatever your thing.

Sorry you are going through this.
