@neptuneblue,
No, we see him out when we are shopping.
We cannot avoid him. The man stands on a chair overlooking a fence and rants at us. He bangs on our wall with a large pole at night. He stands in the back field and loudly shouts cock-a-doodle-doo in English words in the middle of the night. He throws things on our roof in the middle of the night which wakes us. How can we avoid that?
How can we avoid a man who is constantly engineering events to make false counter-claims against us? Do you understand how stressful that is, or do you think victims are expected to put up with that?
Are you a trained psychologist? You are immediately making excuses for him without discovering the facts.
The major problem is this senior social worker is deleting our complaints from council records and has been hiding his behaviour for years.
If this was a known problem in the mental health community, we could give that information to the police who could then take steps to get the right treatment for him.
