Nosy neighbor kid being a Peeping Tom

[FreeThePlant]

black out your windows with room-darkening blinds or put sheets up on the windows to black them out...problem solved. if you still somehow have an issue with him coming over knocking on the door, wait until you see one of the parents getting in their car on day, walk up and explain the situation and say this is the LAST time i come to you. get your child under control or else the authorities will be involved. in the meantime, give them like a week, if he continues i'd say bust out the hose and spray the fucker in the face a few times. just say you were watering your lawn and he ran into it (if he's retarded, you'll win that argument)

lastly, just make a call to the police, the police will come and more than likely just talk to the neighbors and explain that it is harassment and if it continues charges could be pressed. first time doesnt do much. its their warning sign. i would highly suggest videotaping an incident as well just for proof so these people know you aren't just fucking with your neighbor...then if it continues yet again, make another call to the cops and file harassment charges.

cops are definitely the LAST resort, try to solve things on your own, but they do legitimate work as well and handling these things isn't there greatest field but should put fear into the neighbors enough to smack the fuck out of their kid so his retarded ass stays off your property.

It's a kid...this is one sure fire way to get the cops to your house! LOL...

Can we assume your growing at this property? Don't call the cops man....never...sounds like a shitty situation indeed. Oh frack, either way sounds like you are in a corner. I can't stand assed out stupid parents. Fucking kid is trespassing and seems as though nothing you can do about it. I think someone already mentioned this, but maybe try and talk to the parents when kid is not there?

 

[PoopyTeaBags]

I would talk to parents again... if it did not stop...i would do what the kid does to you to them for a whole month....


at 6 in the morning i would be ringing there bell and staring in the windows.... when they watching tv at night i would be looking right at them for hours i would do this for a month... fuck tell them you are attracted to little kids and you take medicine... tell them that the meds worked when you dont see a little boy everyday but your son is making that itch inside yourself start up again even with the meds.... do this while slowly feeling on yourself... i guarantee something will get done...

 

[chuckyoufarley]

come on ring the door bell and leave a flaming bag o shit on the steps

We all had needs as children that weren't met by the adults in our lives. Perhaps his parents aren't really parenting him in a nurturing way and his needs aren't being met by anyone in his life. Young children need the most support because by nature they aren't mature yet, their brains are immature and will continue to develop until the age of 25. We need to respect children for exactly what they are, immature. We as mature adults have an opportunity to help in developing children to become great people, with care and nurturing kindness. Kids are the next adults, project yourself forward in time and imagine what this young boy will be like as a grown man, thinking back on his life and his interaction with his neighbor when he was 5. If handled with nurturing understanding, you could be a pivotal person in his life, to provide him with kindness that no one else shows him. Be an amazing example for this young person, maybe more than his parents ever will be.

Parents are always responsible for the behavior their children are exhibiting, if he had a nurturing, caring and supportive home, he wouldn't need to run to neighbors for interaction. Chances are his parents don't really love him and are doing nothing to cultivate the unique aspects of his personality, allowing him to grow and deep down he has a yearning for meaningful interaction. Young children have natural instincts and know when their needs aren't being met, even if they don't consciously understand what it means. The poor kid is escaping his own home, to come over to neighbors in hopes of finding genuine happiness.

I think the young boy wants you to play with him, he doesn't know how to ask, it started with dog, but when you cut him off he thought he would get your attention through the window. He doesn't really want to bother you but he needs your attention. Next time he comes over to play with dog, get out some baseball mits and ask him if he wants to play catch. Ask him questions, engage him, be kind and don't make him feel like hes wrong. Obviously the peeping and knocking all the time isn't something you want to continue, so after an hour or two of playing catch or soccer sit down with him an explain in a kind way why he can't do that. Make a compromise with him, maybe he can come over everyday at a certain time to play, but not whenever he wants. Tell him if he needs to get your attention to just come to door and not the window.

This poor kid needs somebody important in his life right now, so try not to make him an enemy, but recognize that he doesn't know how to express his emotions, and is trying to get your attention anyway he knows how. It might not have anything to do with you specifically, but that you are his neighbor, you have a dog and you are near by easily accessible to him. He can't get in the car and choose who to interact with. So I would look at this as a case of desperation, its up to you to be his second father, because obviously his parents don't treat him well. If you think about how they treated you when you brought this up to them, thats how they treat their son.

Figure out some activities to do with this young boy and have fun, I wish I had something like that when I was a boy.

 

[PoopyTeaBags]

that sounds all good and all but i would never wake up at 7 in the morning to play with the neighbors kid... and on top of that he looks in the windows... you know how much i walk around naked??? its a fucked situation and its ALL the parents fault peroid.... parents = fail...

 

[wiseone]

Have not read the whole thread, BUT!!!!,
1. If this kid is that young and is challenged, and the parents are allowing him to roam around on his own then it's obvious that they really don't care about his safety and well being.
2. Doing ANYTHING to this child is a NO-NO. Again if he is challenged and you fuck with him, who do you think LEO and the courts will side with if it reaches that point? And that's not the kind of attention I would want brought on me.
3. Buying the kid a dog....NO!!!!! That's a BIG disaster waiting to happen.

You have to make a decision here. Personally I would contact Child Protective Services and file an anonymous complaint. That way LEO is not involved and they will keep tabs on the kid and parents and step in if needed. Until then keep the blinds and curtains drawn and take a deep breath when you see the little shit.
My 2 cents

 

[statusquo]

The fact that one of your neighbours has 'advanced needs' is your problem to deal with,, not the kids.

Please explain the logic to me as to how it is the OP's problem? It is his property and he has tried/is trying to approach the issue in a responsible and mature way yet the child hasn't responded. If anything it should be the parents' responsibility to make sure their kid isn't breaking the law (trespassing) and being a general nuisance/burden...

Ive read through this whole thread and alot made me laugh hard...other suggestions made me kinda worried....but the following i found to be your best of this thread...

I had this issue and cops weren't an option for me. Bought huge tarps to lay all along the side of my house to block out the windows and even my yard from the neighbors. Kid wasn't knocking on my door early in the morning but you can bet if he was he would have gotten a roar from hell that woulda shook any retardation of him and scared his little ass straight.

I found this the most effective and funniest if you went this route....just imagine your a 7yr kid and you knocking on a door....only to be met with a "roar from hell" ....so classic

This suggestion i feel may be the ideal way you would want to deal with this...or buying him a puppy with approval of the parents...but why do this? cause it just seems right

I really liked the idea that someone threw out there about a motion activated sprinkler, that would be hilarious. just point it at the window he peeps in, and aim it a little lowers so it soaks his legs if he ever walks up to the window. His parents will be mad he continuously comes home wet and he will be forced to quit going up to your window

this is perfect... i would do this... lol so funny in fact i would set up these and start inviting the kid over and film it for my personal amusement.. lol

 

[Bullfrog44]

This kid sounds dumb, retarted, challenged, whatever. You need to come down to his level and treat him like a dog. Get a super soaker and everytime that kid comes on your property spray him with your water gun and tell him NO!. If the parents say anything tell them he has been coming onto your property and taking things and peeping on you, they are lucky you don't pull out a real gun.

The water alone will teach him it isn't worth it anymore. Maybe set up a sprinkler outside the window in question. Motion censer.

 

[ogatec2]

in texas you have the legal right to shoot him if this is happening @ night. in fact when i was in 8th grade one of the kids got shot and killed peeping in somones windows.

 

[Bullfrog44]

Edit: Guns = no good. Unless a super soak-er.

 

[MrBluntfaced]

This is why Texas is soooooo lame. Lets drive around with guns in our cars with a cracked beer driving around.....o wait, I see a 10 year old on my property.......Get the guns boys, we got some shootin to do! Really Really lame.

You're an idiot..

 

[Bullfrog44]

Edit: Whatever!

 

[wiseone]

well I see this getting binned real quick with folks talking guns and shooting kids now........real smart.
Guy asked for advice and this has turned into a morals fight.
My question is, and OP do not answer, but, don't you folks recon an area and find out who your neighbors are going to be BEFORE you move in and set up shop? All this could have been avoided if you did your homework.

 

[ogatec2]

btw, driving with a open container is def. illegal in tx. so no cracked beers with the guns in our cars..

actually if it could be proven that he knew it was the neighbors disabled kid and not some random hoodlum he COULD techically get in trouble,it comes down to what the grand jury thinks.

 

[kmk420kali]

What does a super-soaker, mace, grabbing a kid by the ear/arm, have in common?? They are all BATTERY CHARGES!!
The OP opened this bag of worms the first time he let the kid play with the dog--
If you want no contact with your neighbors, then you have to start it out that way....very much harder to do it after you have already set precedents--
The kid is 6 or 7, and challenged-- Even if he wasn't challenged, at that age, they just know what they want...not what is "Right"--
Your beef is with the Parents...they are the only ones who can stop it-- You will have to go back and talk to them...simply letting them know this will not be tolerated anymore!!
You only have 2 choices...Parents or Police-- If you do ANYTHING to the kid...you will probably be (rightly) arrested!!
This should be a good lesson for you...if you don't want to be bothered by kids...don't invite them the first time!! They do not know "Limits", if their parents are not on top of teaching them--
I like kids...so if I was in your position, I would set a time each day that he could come and play with the dog (Outside, in full view!! You don't want to leave room for any stupid allegations!!)...only after talking to him and his parents together, making it clear that if he ever looks in your windows again, that behavior will be punished by him not being able to play with the dog--
Wow...some really stupid fucking advice in here, IMO--

 

[Maria_Vanessa]

Please do not get this kid a dog. If you purchase a dog for this child, then the parents may expect you to be responsible for the dog by walking it, buying it food, etc. In addition, from the way this child is being described, the child may torture the dog.

Please do not subjective a poor, innocent animal to this family.
