I made mention earlier about the crazy bitch down the street. I thought I'd share her/our story.
It starts out a couple of months ago when she moved in. Immediatly her kids start picking on all the kids on the block. Now keep in mind we've all lived here just fine for a few years now...Zero problems. My kids complain to me about how mean her kids are, I even watch her kid spouting profanity and throwing rocks. I tell my kids to just avoid them and let's give it a couple of days to see if they'll quit.
The next day her boy starts throwing rocks at my 3 year old baby girl and stopping her on her bike, not letting her go. My 12 year old son is livid, has had enough and chases rotten boy back to his yard. Crazy woman starts screaming at my 12 year old to leave her yard. He says
"I'm not in your yard I'm on the street. Your son was picking on my little sister". She continues screaming at him, calling him names and tells him he has to go home.
He says "If you have a problem with me, take it up with my mother. Until then this is a public street and I'll play here if I want to".
So she comes down to my house. I answer the door to a woman I've never met before who immediatly starts in on, Is this Brat your son, you need to keep better control of him, you've taught your kids no manners blah blah blah. All at the top of her voice with much colorful language sprinkled liberally throughout.
I'm thinking I should try to nice. I actually was pretty nice I think. I let her know that it will NOT be tolerated for her to yell at, discipline, or swear at my children. If she has a problem and would like to tell me about it like a human being, not a shrieking harpy then I'd be happy to listen. I also let her know her kid was a brat, yelling is not the best way to introduce herself and respect is earned. I have never, and will never teach my children they have to bow down to an adults every shrieking moment.
Frankly I was proud of myself for not clocking her.
She leaves, pissed as hell and I ask 12 year old what happened and got his story about the boy picking on my daughter. I'm kinda disappointed he didn't catch the little bugger but I'll get over it.
I think to myself...good gravy, not again.
Then the fun starts.
This woman believes everyone should go 10 miles an hour down our street. Literally. Day or night. She has taught her children to step out in front of a car they believe is going to fast and yell Slow down. It's very irritating not to mention dangerous for a child to jump out in front of a car. The speed limit on our road is 25. One other thing to note about our road. There are several car chasing dogs. It's very very annoying.
So life moves on and we haven't heard too much out of crazy woman. She turned her sights to the neighbors up the street for a while and started picking on their kids. The dad of those kids used to date her in high school and the mom is just not even close to thrilled ex-crazy-bitch-girlfriend has moved in.
Then one fine day a sheriff shows up while my oldest son is working on his car in the driveway. He hands him a ticket for reckless driving -endangering a child, tells him to show up in court and leaves. I was soooooo pissed. First of all this kid is a minor and I know maybe they don't have to but I still think they should at least notify the parent. Second he asked my son nothing,not one dang thing.
I ask son, what the heck is this all about?
The day before, he was driving down the road with 3 dogs chasing the car (happens everyday). One of the dogs ran right in front of him, he slams on the breaks, barely misses hitting the dog. He's pissed so he stops the car, yells at the kids who own the dogs (crazy woman's kids and the other neighbors kids) to keep their dogs out of the road or they are going to get hit. My daughter is in the passenger seat...sees the whole thing. He gets back in the car and comes home.
I tell son not to yell at other people's kids. Go to the parents if you have a problem but other than that can't for the life of me figure out what the problem is.
I call Sheriff's office to find out why they would cite someone based on nothing but one person's word, tell him what happened. He said next time hit the dog...alrighty then...I'm not going to just hit somones dog if I can help it but whatever.
I go talk to nice neighbor about his dogs. He agrees to keep them locked up. As I'm leaving crazy woman's hubby stops me. Says he's sorry, they didn't know boy would get citation, he believes people go too fast down the street, he wasn't home so he doesn't know. He seems nice enough. Then Crazy woman comes out and starts yelling again. Tells me she was in her garage, saw the whole thing. That she doesn't care if the speed limit is 25, until everybody goes 10 she's going to keep complaining because that will force people to slow down. Her kids are followers and nothing they do is their fault (yes she said that) all the neighbors hate me and have major problems with me and I had the whole neighborhood scared of me (gee I'm good I guess). She also said she complained against my son because I wouldn't punish my 12 year old last time so she was going to make sure my kids got punished this time.
I go back to the other neighbors and ask them...do we have a problem I'm unaware of? They look at me like I'm on crack and tell me if they had any problem with me I'd know it, other neighbor same thing. I figured..she's trying to divide and conquer.
Then we go to court. Not guilty pleads the boy and we get a copy of her complaint.
Holy crap I've rarely seen people so blatently lie like that. I'll run down the lies.
1. She said it happened the day she called the sheriff. That she was so upset she just couldn't stand it anymore and something needed to be done NOW. It actually happened the day before and she didn't call the sheriff for over 24 hours.
2. She said her husband and herself have talked to my boy several times. My boy has never even met her, or her husband.
3. She says he almost hit the kids, no mention of a dog. That he got out of the car and threatened the children that he would run them down if he saw them in the street again.
4. She says she was in her bedroom (not the garage) and heard him speeding down the road. (How do you hear someone speeding?)
5. Says he left 40 foot skid marks. No skid marks were on the road the next day.
6. No mention of daughter in the car at all. I guess she missed that glaring fact while she was seeing the whole thing.
7. Says he peeled out throwing rocks all over her husband(who told me he wasn't home) herself and the children.
Now is it just me, but if that had really happened wouldn't you call the sheriff right away??
Son was appointed a public defender. He has a pre-trial hearing today which his lawyer never told him about. His lawyer has never spoken with him and won't speak to me. His secretray told me it's not big deal that they will set up another meeting and if his lawyer hasn't had a chance to talk to him at that point he'll talk to the prosecutor about making a deal.
WHAT?????????????
He knows nothing about this case. The whole case is based on crazy woman's word against his and my daughter who was there. Son doesn't want any sort of deal..he didn't do anything. This woman flat out told me she complained to get my kids because she was pissed at me. I don't want son trying to deal with a lawyer by himself and I sure don't want this lawyer brushing this off or making a deal to make his life easier. this kid has been falsely accused in a power struggle with a nut case and the police are helping her harrass us.
She is harrassing the whole street. Yelling at people, yelling at their kids. Lots of stuff I didn't write out. I have called the sheriff and asked them what to do and he says he doesn't want to get involved in neighborhood disputes...he already has but I guess he missed that fact. The other neighbos don't really want to say or do much because they think they are drug-deales and worried about them coming after them...I don't know if they are or they aren't but they do have a steady traffic of cars stopping at their house and neither one ofthem have a job.
I'm very frustrated. Any good advice?
