Hi, my best friend is suicidal. She and her husband have 3 girls and live in a housing association property.
They have been harrassed by neighbours constantly, being shouted at from the street, people knocking on their door late at night, eggs and tomatoes thrown at their house, tyres slashed, gloss paint thrown on their car windscreen and now last night their living room window smashed with a golf ball.
The police have been called every time (about 20 times), the Housing Association called every time but nothing happens.
Last night their little girl was showered in glass. The HA has even boarded up their letterbox in case of petrol bombs and installed a security light but thats all.
They have asked to be moved, in fact pleaded with them (I even wrote a letr on their behalf about 2 months ago) but the the HA have refused, saying they didnt clear up their dog's mess quick enough (their dog has pancreatitis and they do keep on top of it but next dor neighbour complained about them). Their next dor neighbour has complained about their noise. One of the little girls is deaf so they need the tv up slightly louder and with Police cars coming round so much, their girls dont sleep well as are terrified which has led to obviously a bit more noise at night. The Police although helpful have been unable to catch anyone, detained a couple of people a few weeks back but let them go uncharged. They all stayed at a friends last night, but they are terrified to go home. They both work full time but the stress that has been put on them is awful. She has shouted loudly to everyone that will listen but no-one is doing anything. She has contacted her MP (no reply), the HA (3 different people), the Police (constantly)
What on earth can she do? They are desperate to move anywhere, they dont care where, they just want to be safe and not terrified every day.
Can anyone give us some advice please. She is really at the end. No-one should have to live like this.
Many thanks
