    Hi @L_Volunteer, thank you very much for asking. 
    I am patiently waiting and to carry on a normal living but the neighbour continues her actions which are reported as usually. 

    Personally, I had been affected by last 7 years ( my son complains that she damaged his childhood and I must say he is right, she truly damaged his entire childhood).
     I never wish anyone to have a neighbour  like her. 

    Personally, I can’t stand anymore her presence on our Estate no matter how serious her health problems are. People with such serious mental health problems should not live on Estate among families bringing up little children.  They should be located/ relocated in supervised accommodation and live in areas  which truly will benefit them. Any other person with normal state who would do what she did to all of us would be arrested straight away after first incident but she was only sanctioned 5 x and still does what she wants.

    The Drs who came  to assess her here every time were escorted by police. We live next door without any escort of police for last 7 years and need to function normally on a daily basis no matter how aggressive she was/ is / or will be. 
    Is that fair ? Would be Drs coming to assess her here without escort of police? 
    If they are afraid of her how they let us live next to her for several years? 

    This is how I feel. 

    I live with questions in my mind. Analysing how terrible our life was for the last 7 years. 

    Along problems with her I had to manage by own health, bring my child up on my own without any bodies support, manage to win court case about benefits, manage to travel to home country to take care of my paralysed mum, survive all life storms and keep up with everything up to date,  survive Covid and sorts of any issues. 

    Now - there  is nothing more important for me than justice !  

    And those all people from my Council and public figures representing the borough who are in charge of her and her mental health and who should help her and support all of us and who know about existing problem with her ( as they all be emailed)  come to the church and read the Bible showing  publicly off how much they believe in God and show off how much religious they are or how much passionate  about Jesus life they all are - live me with question in my mind : Do we truly believe in the same God ?

    I can’t see how religion has anything to do with it???

    Unfortunately evictions can be a lengthy process with the council more so when mental health is involved but I do hope things start progressing for you soon

    Hello @iza

    I'm sorry to hear about the difficult living situation you've been experiencing. It sounds like it's taken a real toll on your family life, understandably so, but you've displayed real strength to keep on 'getting on' alongside other challenges faced. 

    I hope you hear something from the housing ombudsman soon. And, I'd encourage you to keep on reporting any instances of poor behaviour through the appropriate channels. 

    One thing I do wonder, is if the police escorting the doctor was incase a Section 135/136 was needed to take the lady to a place of safety pending a mental health assessment. However this is pure speculation, but could be one explanation. 

    Wishing you and your son a lovely day. Please keep us posted.

    HI  all.

    Its  been a while .

    Apologies  im using mobile and can't see the dates of the posts. 


    Mental  health is no excuse for bad behaviour. 

    Many seriel killers use this trope .
    In any event   they can't  get away with it and shouldn't. 

    Antisocial  behaviour  is very  rife in this society  especially in social housing .
    No one should be  at the  receiving  end. Of it.
    It blights people lives effects they're quality  of life . Reduces there life chances. 

    Few  prominent  cases have gone to  court of appeal  where 
    Perpreters of ASB  have been evicted  rightly so.

    Its funny how these Perpreters  

    Quickly change there behaviours  once  its gone to
    court in majourity of cases.


    I  think going to the media is an excellent  idea maybe encourage  other people suffering  from  this  nightmare. 
     Strength in numbers.
     
    I agree you shouldn't move the Perpreter/s should  .

    Hi @hass, thank you very much for the understanding. 
    Yes, it is true what you said that perpetrators usually in front of facing law try to play the role of victims. 
    I been affected by last 7 years and you hardly can see the end to this problem as the Council does it take this problem seriously.
    After years they repeated high risk assessment and I scored maximum points which is high risk band. 
    Now I am waiting for the updates and decisions. I already have feelings that Council will try to fail as again.
    It is true that our life was extremely affected, my son is also waiting for psychologist as his entire childhood was damaged. 
    Our life was nightmare for the last 7 years. 
    I wonder “ do we ever will be able to be happy again “ ?

    Hi Iza, I know half off how you feel, we live right next door to a neighbour who has serious mental health & a serious danger to all us neighbours & the rest off the public, serious stuff, he threatened a neighbour our side with a knife she wss pregnant as well at the time, threw urine & poo at the  police that came to get him, was exposing himself to the public in the day time jumped over the wall into the school playground in the day when children were at school he got noticed but ran off, the worse thing that has brought Terror to the square this year April or May he threatened to blow us up according to some neighbours, he busted the gas pipes inside his parents house where he & they live next door ,  2 Gas vans a fire engine & the police were outside & a lot off neighbours outside, I was notified about this by a neighbour who has my number & vise versa, my blood ran cold the fear,.
    Wanted to move out before all this but decided to wait until my Son comes out off foster care  in 2026 when he will be 18, because if we was to move now we would have to down size then (if I'm still alive due to several health conditions & limited mobility)then would have to move again.
    But now this has happened & he was out within 4 days Unbelievable, then he started again where he picked on the new neighbours the other side of us, threw pee & not sure what the other. thing was, the police were called & he was taken away  & his Mum is like him but not as bad! The last thing he did was smash  the widow from upstairs next door at the front in the morning with children & parents heading for school.
    Our housing don't seam to brake it seriously, I said we are all living I fear & so on.was up against a wall ,that's what it was like, like we mustn't say anything, I have a therapist but ,it's good to talk but the fear isn't going to go untill either my adult daughter & I move out or they move him out the one who is a threat to our lives. We are looking to move, just hope it's not too late! Yes it's the Dangerous individual that needs taking away permanently, somewhere else where he's not a danger to the public& himself!
    I hope you can move for the sake off you & your Son because its like a chance in hell that they will move the neighbours that are a threat to our lives! I will keep you all updated so all those off us can know what's going on, keep strong Isa

    Hello @Kay67

    I am so sorry to hear about what you are going through with this neighbour. You have mentioned that the police are aware. Can I ask, have you reached out to your local MP? Have you thought about speaking to the council to get the neighbour further mental health support?
