If a neighbor is harassing you and your minor child, consider filing an injunction or restraining order.

Hey Gulia! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
A neighbor moved in last year and he has been harassing me and my son (a minor). This guy is a creep and he throws parties for minors, provides them alcohol, etc. I have video proof. He also posted my name and address on Nextdoor with a lot of lies about me, my other neighbor joined in. They said I'm "dangerous" and "insane" etc and tons of people saw, I have screenshots. I am a single mother seeking employment and any future employer could have seen this. He slanders me around the neighborhood and defames me. Any lunatic could now have my name and address, my neighbors put me and my son in harms way. Police have told me to file an injunction. we have caught him staring into our windows etc. There was a time where he was trespassing on our back patio morning, noon, and night. I have a year's worth of footage from my security cameras. He tells strangers lies about us and I have random men coming up to my garage saying "Fuck you bitch!!"
Gulia, it sounds like you're dealing with a serious situation. Here are some steps you can consider:
- Injunction/Restraining Order: File for an injunction against harassment or a restraining order to keep your neighbor away.
- Defamation Lawsuit: Consider suing for defamation since you have proof.
- Police Reports: Continue reporting any incidents to the police.
- Legal Advice: Consulting a lawyer for personalized advice would be beneficial.
