Since June 24th, when our neighbor's six year old son threw a rock at our sons head, causing him to bleed alot, and go to the ER, the neighbors have been very rude. We were told by officers at the hospital, to stay away from these neighbors and if they were to want to start something with us, to go into our home, lock the doors and call the police.
Since this has taken place, child protective services got involved due to the conditions at the home. The home itself is not in livable conditions. Broken windows that looks like something was thrown threw the window, and instead of replacing the window, they took some kind of tape to the window, still leaving the broken pieces which any child in that home can stick their hand in and cut themselves. The bedroom windows are broke and the locks are not working. The windows are the style that crank out to open, and the last time I was around the home, the six year old boy had half of his body outside the window, this being on a second story home. God forbid if something were to happen to this child.
The home inside is horriable. I wouldnt allow a animal in the home, yet alone a family. No food, No insurance. The kids are seen unsupervised outside their home for hours during the day. The six year old riding his bike. The kids are never called in to eat. But I can see that being because there is no food to feed them. Which is horriably sad. Yesterday I was sitting outside on our front bench, watching our kids ride their bikes on the sidewalk in front of our home. Our son happened to see their boy and wanted to say hi, and tried to go onto their property. I calmly walked to our son, still on our property, telling him to come back home. The mother was on her porch and started telling me I was a bad person, who is bipolar, and is screwed up in the head. Then she goes on to tell me that she thinks I feel that Im better than them, and that our kids are screwed up. I looked at her and said that I will pray for their family, and that I was told my officers not to have any contact with them. If they wanted to try to get something going, I would be calling the police. She then started saying crap about us in front of our kids, and saying she has food for their kids, clothing, etc. their home is in very good conditions, and telling her kids our home is in poor conditions, etc.
This woman suffers from depression and at first I felt sorry for her. But as I got to know this family more, I can see they dont put their children before their wants. If they have money, why on earth would they want to spend it on beer or cigerettes and not food for their kids? Due to the conditions of the home, the officer had to report what he saw when he spoke with the family about their son assulting our son. And due to their son being under the age of 7, here in this state, nothing can be done, but to document it. But, like I told the officer, if this continues, and this child gets on a path of doing more harm to others, its going to be a long road for this family. This child turns 7 in 5 days.
But I just wondered besides calling the police for the harrassment, is there anything else that can be done?

It just hurt my heart to see that little boy tell his mom he was hungry and she had the nerve to tell him no he couldnt have the candy bar. I know a candy bar is not healthy for anyone, but hey, its something to put in that little kids tummy. If we struggled with food, Id put my kids first before myself. They are #1 in my life.
