What is the procedure towards verbal abuse?

Question

I constantly get verbal abuse towards me or my hubby by racist and anti-social neighbours... How can I stop this without moving away from here as already have been suggested...???

This is constant and either happens during the day / night. Help?

Answer 1

Make notes of when and where it occurs. Phone the police because these acts are illegal and have to be dealt with.

Answer 2

It's difficult when they are neighbours....

If they threaten you or do harm to you or your property, it becomes a clear cut police issue.  

If they call you names etc and make it uncomfortable for you to live, but do not overtly threaten you or hurt you, it is a little more difficult to do something about.  Start with documenting everything that they say, including neighbour's name, date and time, as well as exactly what has been said.  If possible, videotape.  When you have compiled enough information, call the police, show them your documentation and ask them if charges can be pressed or if they can at least speak to the neighbours.

If the police won't do anything, ask the advice of a lawyer.  Lawyer's sometimes allow a free consultation...you could possibly get a restraining order or peace bond...

Answer 3

Stretch right arm out. Place fist towards face of abuser. Select middle finger. Erect middle finger.

Finished.
