[Help] Is this legaly considered harassment? Updates to this post /post/218315-is-this-legaly-considered-harassmen Sat, 28 Nov 2009 21:29:05 +0100 Reply from molotok /post/218315-is-this-legaly-considered-harassmen#reply-4519014 It sucks.
I agree to the above, to collect evidence like notes and stuff. Also their own notes, to write down incidents and such, are valuable if they get sued again. A such case is the right time to go for a restraint order, when their lawyer already is at it.

Try to keep positive and help your grandparents to focus on good things so as to diminish their stress as much as possible.

Knowing that their family is behind them and there to support them in practical ways as well as with their feelings will be a huge help.

Keep a check on this guy’s behaviour and see if you can find any pattern. Just don’t worry your grandparents with it too much, be subtle. It could be linked to drink or medication. If there is a pattern, you might be able to predict his next outburst and be ready for it.

Good luck. If you are ever concerned he may be agressive.. don’t hesitate to involve the police.

They mind their own bussiness, they wont ever move out of that house, they built it and have lived in it for years..I dont know if their land is worth anything most of it is a pasture for their cows. I’ll talk to my grandparents in a few days if their is anything I could do to help..

I remember one when I was 13 I wreaked my 4 wheeler into our barbe wire fence(it wasnt serious but it could have been) and the neighbor watched it happen and just started laughing. The 4 wheeler was on its side with me under it.. I wasnt hurt or anything..but that man is so crule twords my family..

What they can’t see, they can’s sue for. When the neighbor moves away or croaks (whichever occurs first) the fence can come down.

I agree with the statements above.

Your grandparents can then just use the line “would you please run this by x? He/She is dealing with all our affairs right now”.

That way, you may be able to forestall any major issues and get them to talk through what’s bugging them in a sensible manner.

If your grandparents are doing nothing to incite this treatment, they should be protected.

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 23:23:14 +0100 Reply from mumstheword /post/218315-is-this-legaly-considered-harassmen#reply-4497650 I would say that yes, they may well have a case for harassment. Particularly if there is documented evidence of unreasonable behaviour.

So, get them to keep any letters or notes, keep a diary of anything their neighbour does or says that is untoward and see how things go.

It would pay to let things lie for a while as they may well have run out of steam now.

I hope it all gets sorted out ok.

Odd behaviour indeed. I wonder… is there maybe some ulterior motive? Is your grandparents land valuable to the neighbour and is he trying to get them to move out at low cost? Try thinking outside the box a little and see what you can find out.
