Call the police.  If he put his filthy hands on you, that is assualt.  He might be on probation, so I would look into that.  He couldn't so drunk one of these days and no telling what he might do.  And your daughter is witnessing this behavior?  She might think it's okay for a strange, drunk man to be treating you this way.  Do something immediately.  I worked in  a prison for 8 years, I know how those offenders act and I would not want any of them living next door to me.  I'm not saying all of them are the same but he haven't seemed to change.

The threats are disturbing.  Consult the police and be very very careful.  People like that carry out their threats.

Tell him that your apartment is actually haunted.  Previous owner were killed and has since appeared, throwing things around the house etc..

First, run spell check.\nSecond, he sounds like a predator. You should notify police.

Just ask him what part of NO don't you understand, and then just ignore him. An go on with your life. If he still prisiest, then call 911.

There are a lot of answers that say call the cops, and by all means do so!!! Sometimes though they won't do a damn thing about it, he will probably become enraged and the abuse will get worse. If this is the case pack what you need and move out when he's gone somewhere. I know of a neighbor of mine that did just that. She moved form here to somewhere back east while her abusive hubby was at work. \nGood Luck!!!!

Take them away some where else and inform the cops they are harassing you. Then, ask your wife to also sign a petition that they are harassing her family. You and the kids. This is personal so just sort it out yourselves instead of involving the law. Best of luck my friend

If you can keep track of times and dates that he is seen near your home. Have your neighbors watch and keep a log too. You should record any phone calls, save all messages from answering machines and cell phones. Also any time something like this happens you should call the police and file a report so there is a record of each incident. Even if there is no proof that he is the one doing it now he will more than likely slip up and get caught so a record will make it more solid to prosicute.One more thing you could do for proof would be to set up a motion light in your drive way and a camcorder somewhere like a window aimed at the drive way.Good luck.

First, talk to them. Politely ask them turn down the volume after 10pm.\nSecond, go to your neighborhood association.\nThrid, call the cops for distrubing the peace. Usually on visit from the cops is enough to straighten most neighbors out.

I'd continue to politely request that the parents control their children, padlock the gate, post no trespassing signs and finally alert the police.  If you are absent during these trespasses, hopefully you can enlist your other neighbor to make the call.  At the very least they should send a patrol car.  Your privacy is being violated and it is an issue you have every right to stand up for and expect no retaliation.  I would also suggest to the parents that your property may have hazards on it and you would be stricken should a child be injured on it.  BE careful not to sound threatening, but more like an ocd individual.

Do you work at home? \n\nIf not forget the slander suit.\n\nPeople take child endangerment seriously. No one is going to penalize her for complaining.\n\nYou should consider the nature of the complaints. What is being said? Is this a domestic violence thing? Is is it a noise thing? What is it?\n\nTwo times in one week. This person is pissed off at you. Why?\n\nDo you have a fence? Good fences make good neigbors, they say.  Beware of Dog signs don't hurt either.\n\nI would recommend that you talk with the social services worker and ask them for help. They can tell you what is right, and you can show them it is all in your neigbor's imagination.\n\nCheck and see if there is some reason why she may want your house. In that case, you might be looking at a great chance to stick it to her on the sale price. Might as well get something out of this. \n\nI am guessing day care is out of the question. She would look quite the fool if your children were not at home when she complained. \n\nLook into your deed restrictions to see if the civic association can help you out. Think nuissance.\n\nThe neighbor may be guilty of some form of trespass, criminal mischief, or just plain peeping.  Get a neighbor to confirm this and you can demonstrate malice to the social services. tey will report her to the police for filing false reports.\n\nI am guessing you are the only neighbor with children, if not; seek allies. Who knows, you may be able to get a child swap together in your neighborhoood, where all the kids are at on house on the same day. When it is your house the neighbor will go insane, but; you will have witnesses, lots of witnesses.

Good lord I'm sorry you are going through this!  The authorities sound lame in your town...for shame on them!!\n\nI would suggest contacting the following in the largest city in your state because I'm sure they have the following organizations there:\n--abused women's service and other such orgs that help women in trouble( even if you haven't been abused yet) they can lead you in a good direction.  ask them about your legal rights and what to do if you are not being taken seriously.\n--teen and young adult groups that do the same\n--church services that can help with this(find a progressive not backwoods church..big city)  \n\n--civil right/liberties lawyers or free legal aid groups and ask them to advocate for you because you are not getting help for this. \n\nCan you talk to the chief of police?  speak honestly with them about how you are afraid for your life and that if something happened and nothing was done then it would not only be tragic but on the backs of the police departments lack of responsibility.  if they do nothing then in a sense they are enabling this creep to harass you.  \n\n--check out some copwatch groups.  groups that keep eyes on cops so they themselves are lawabiding and actually do the job they are supposed and not abuse the law.  again, civil liberty groups would know.  that way you can inform them of the lack of response by the cops so that if anything else happens you have proof and then more leverage. \n\nThere has got to be some source of support group or legal advice for something like this...what state do you live in??  try to answer back and I will look up some info for you?  this is serious and could get ugly if you don't have support.  \nJust watch your back and stay with people as often as you can so you are not vulnerable. If you don't have a roommate, get one!  Lights, dogs, security systems-whatever you need to feel safe in the meantime as you get help.   \n\n*last resort: Worse come to worse if no one takes you seriously after you try everything get some guy friends/brothers and well...have them pay him a visit some stormy night.  Nicely.  Capishe?\n\noh can you find out if he has a record or is on parole?  through the freedom of information act you can find this out.  if he does, he could be in some violation and you could anonymously report him or have him returned to wherever he crawled out from under..\n\nFor now, write back where you live and I can help you do research online.  I'm willing.  \npeace.\n\nHERE IS SOME INFO I FOUND FOR YOU: \nJUST CALL THEM AND TELL THEM YOUR SITUATION AND INSIST ON GETTING HELP.  TELL THEM YOU DON'T WANT TO END UP A STATISTIC.   \nhttp://www.aardvarc.org/dv/states/arkdv.shtml\nhttp://www.angelfire.com/me/Marshamellow/call.html\nhttp://www.usdoj.gov/ovw/\n\nTHESE SHOULD HELP FOR NOW.  JUST BE PROACTIVE, GET ON IT AND DON'T WAIT FOR OTHERS TO SAVE YOU.  WOMEN NEED TO LEARN TO SAVE THEMSELVES.  AND THAT'S OK.  REACH OUT BUT ALSO RELY UPON YOURSELF.  YOU COULD GET A CELL PHONE AND JUST SAVE YOUR GRANNIES PHONE FOR OUTGOING CALLS ONLY?? OR GET ANOTHER PRIVATE UNLISTED NUMBER AND AGAIN, LEAVE YOUR GRANNIES FOR OUTGOING ONLY.  HEY GOOD IDEA@!  TRY THAT.  \nMAKE SURE ALL YOUR LIGHTS AND LOCKS WORK WELL AROUND YOUR HOUSE AND LIKE THE OTHER GIRL SAID, GET A STUN GUN AND MAKE SURE YOU GET TRAINING ON IT.  DON'T WANT TO SHOCK YOURSELF! \nGOOD LUCK!!!

Couple of really good answers here.  So nice to see an intelligent question with intelligent answers.  \n\nOnly one thing to add: restraining order.\n\nPerhaps you don't want to involve the police - after all, that does tend to elevate the situation some and depending on how long you and your neighbors have to live with one another, that might not be a good thing.  Here's what I would recommend:\n\nTalk to your neighbors again.  Explain to them that you really don't want to involve the police and that you'd like to be able to live in peace next to them.  Explain that if they can't keep the stereo at a reasonable level (and you ARE being reasonable about this, aren't you?), you'll seek a restraining order against them for disturbing you with the noise.\n\nIf they refuse to cooperate, get yourself tape recorder and put it on your porch or wherever you might stand that's close to your house.  Don't go stand at the edge of your property that borders them, put the recorder right up close to your house, by a window or something.  Yes, you can legally record this.\n\nAssuming the noise continues, keep a diary for a week or so with the dates/times of the noise and associate each diary entry with a recording (separate tapes, or whatever).  Now it's off to your local county courthouse.  Pick up the paperwork for a temporary restraining order for civil harrassment.  Fill it out, turn it in, go to the hearing when it's scheduled.  Bring the recordings and be prepared to play them for the judge.  \n\nAssuming the order is issued, have the neighbors served (you can't do it).  Then, if the noise continues, go back to the recording system and after another week or so, get yourself back down to the courthouse and tell the clerk you want to be put on calendar because the neighbors have been violating the order.  Show up, tell the judge what is going on, and let him decide how to handle it.  Judges do not like people who disobey their orders.\n\nThis is not a quick fix.  It may take you a month to get any satisfaction.  It will leave the police out of it, though, and that really might be best.  If you want a quick fix, do this:\n\nGo back to the neighbors.  Tell them you've had it, and the next time you hear their stereo you're going to call the cops (safest is to make sure everyone who lives there knows your position and intent).  The next time the stereo is too loud, record it and call the cops.  When the cops show up, tell them you want to make a private person's arrest of the person responsible for the noise...assuming it's the same person you told to knock it off.  They will probably end up with a ticket at that point, and the officer will refer the whole matter to the DA's office.  If the DA does not choose to prosecute (and that decision can take months), you're dead in the water.  The quick fix part of this is only that they've probably been cited.  The rest of this may take months.  This is why I recommend the restraining order process.  \n\nMost importantly: I've handled more of these calls than I can count.  Sometimes, the "victim" just isn't being reasonable over the level of noise.  If you have neighbors, you have to expect some amount of noise.  The law says people can't, "maliciously and willfully disturbs another person by loud and unreasonable noise," so the noise you're complaining about has to be loud *and* unreasonable.\n\n"Unreasonableness" is always open to interpretation.  \n\nGood luck.

Yes, DO call the police -- and let them deal with the noise complaint -- and the bass IS a problem -- I notice it too (it irritates me a LOT).  Keep calling every time it is turned up.  Sooner or later, they will ticket him and he will have to go in front of a judge and EXPLAIN why he can't stop "Disturbing the Peace".

I was going to answer this but the first respondent took the words right out of my mouth. If he has the audacity to hit you, please have him arrested immediately. If you have family, let them know you are living in fear and need help. Best wishes.

Hire a lawyer, the legal terms are (1) Slander (2) defamation of character. and it sounds like there is malous behaviour there too. these are all civil so the courts will have to help you, the police wont unless there is a restraining order on this person.
