My 16 year old son has been bullied for over four years now, he has a learning disability and we live alone in an area with little support, the bullying has been targeted at our actual home by local teenagers, some now adults. We have both been through a lot of trauma in the past due to DV and moved here hoping for a fresh start but it hasn’t been the case. All hours of the morning even through Covid lockdowns our windows have been smashed on, rocks, sticks and gravel thrown at the roof and abuse hurled. Once they came past in a car. The police have been called numerous times but they run and are well gone. They were caught once but it never stopped them, one had the cheek to contact my son on social media and demand him to tell me to leave his friends alone when I finally found where a couple of them lived and spoke to the parents. The situation has become that bad we don’t sleep well at night and the teenagers/young adults are death staring us in the community and telling their parents and police that I am harassing them. They are all actively on drugs and I’m at my wits end. Some of the parents are enabling the behaviour and others ignoring it adamant it is not their son and one has even said it happened years ago which is not the truth at all. I have tried to reach out to many places and the police even asked why they are targeting us and what might my son have done. He never leaves the house and won’t unless he is with me and it’s late when nobody is around. His self esteem is non existent and we are both living in the shadows of a community. His refusal to take part in drugs and alcohol has also been the reason for bullying, he has been called a loser and that he won’t go anywhere or get a job. They threw glass bottles at him once and I’m heartbroken that he is going through this and that my attempts to stop it have been manipulated and turned into accusations that I am harassing them. I have no idea where to get help. ... View more
