Huge fallout with neighbor - NEW Update post #129!

[Blondy876]

I agree that keeping an eye on him and considering a restraining order is wise. How horrible for your dd not to feel safe in her own neighborhood. I feel so sorry for his daughter - she must never be able to have friends! I think maybe I'd call the nonemergency police number and talk to someone there for recomendations. If nothing else, they might be able to tell you this man's record. I wouldn't be surprised if he has one with his behavior.

Amen! Your poor dd. How dare he yell at her. I would be looking into getting a restraining order ASAP.

what happened at the school ?
did you call the police?
did your dh talk to randy?

This guy sounds very unstable. I'm an expert on that kind of behavoir-my son acts like that. He's Bipolar and recently it's been suggested that he's a rageaholic-there is actually a condition. My son will blow up like that over the littlest things. My advice is to stay away from him and the next time he comes over to chew you out call the police. I'm not kidding-you really have no idea how quickly these people go from 0 to 60 and someone will get hurt-I'm an expert on that too. I'm sorry for you-it makes it just miserable to have a neighbor like that. We had one and we ended up moving after 7 years.

Along the lines of what Dawn has posted, it depends on where you live whether your situation warrants a restraining order. I encourage you to call the non-emergency number of your police department to find out what you can do.

I have a freakish neighbor, too. I was outside spraying my weeds and the lady comes out to ***** at me in front of my daughters. She and her dh have crossed the lines many times even at one point barging in our home. I just call the cops now. The officer that responded to my initial call told me verbal altercations don't necessarily warrant a restraining order - or the person has to threaten or actually do something - so please don't think it's automatic, that just because you have a crazy neighbor that you can get a RO easily. I confirmed it with our city.. Just double check..and yes, let the school know.

You never know these days...

This man sounds very ill. I would stay away from him. Confronting him will just esculate the situation. I advise against it.

 

[raammartin]

Oh my gosh! He sounds a little unstable to me. He has issues. Like you, I'd be very upset that he confronted my child when she had no one there with her. Good luck!

 

[alliecats]

I love how you couldn't speak to his daughter directly when he was right there, but he could ACCOST your daughter when she was alone. What a big, brave man he is.

I had a crazy drunk neighbor actually push my son to the ground and poke him in the chest and cuss and scream at him. I talked to my other neighbor about it who is a cop and he said just let it go and avoid him as best I could. These 2 could be brothers. Luckily I live behind the jerk in question so I don't have to see him everyday. It's tough with you having the girls in the same class together. I almost sort of hope this insane guy does go to the school to complain about your daughter, then you can unleash your concerns about how stable this man is and how he was confronting your daughter, That is just bizzare!!! This guy better watch what he unleashes on himself, he is going to find things pretty lonely in the neighborhood.

That's what I was thinking, he sounds like a real tough guy. It sounds like he only confronts women. I wonder if he goes nuts on men too? Anyway, sorry you and your family are going through this. If you can't get an answer on the non emergency line I would go down to the police station and tell them what is going on. Good luck!

 

[Sonya]

Please update, we are worried!

 

[Annie68]

Worried here too, hope everything is OK. Even DH is asking about you tonight, I told him about your situation. He completely understood about your DH wanting to go over & talk with him, said he would do the same .

That's exactly what I thought. At first, I thought that the OP's husband approaching the moron would be a bad idea, not really knowing how he would react and all. Then I thought... maybe Randi is one of those guys that acts like a real "tough hombre" only when he confronts and berates women. It sounds like he is used to treating women that way, I have no respect for men like him.

Whatever happens, keep your daughter away from that family.

 

[Angelrose]

Instead of your husband confronting this man. Have a talk with the police face to face. Tell them the story and ask them to talk to this man. Maybe that will scare him off.

 

[marydmjj]

Wow - this guy sounds nuts. I hope everything went ok today. Update us when you can.

 

[rhanditresmom]

how horrible. i hope everything works out for you and your poor dd.

i do not like bullies.

 

[Chicago526]

Any updates? How is it going?

 

[zalansky]

Any updates? How is it going?

I was wondering th same thing. Let us know Stephanie.

 

[jbdreamer]

I am worried too, I jumped on Dis boards first thing this morning for this thread. I hope everything is going smoothly.

 

[Maleficent13]

Another concerned one...hope there's a good update soon!

 

[PixieDust32]

OMG! What a loser and stupid, kids argue and fight all the time, and normal parents don't confront the poor kids like that, or the parents.
I would it slap his mouth the first time and called the cops, you should call the police or go to the police with the story.

Good Luck!
