Am Worried About A Person Who Could Be Enforced Into Violence In Her Home

[jennyjoan]

Not from anybody who lives in the home but outside of her home and is crazy crazy with drugs, has been in jail before for all kinds of offences, now he has beaten up a young boy and the police came to his door today and sledge hammered to get in and I believe he fought the two police officers but was restrained and arrested and will be in for two weeks in jail.

I am really scared this mad man who takes drugs will stab his next door neighbour 0- just like the young boy last week killing his mother and girlfriend.

Can anybody tell me what next I can do, like what authorities I can turn to. I can't sleep worrying about it. I believe the Housing Office should have been informed and they have been time and time and ago, but I was to go to an office where I can report violence that could very easily happen.

Contact our local Police with your concerns JJ, they have trained officers to listen to worries like this.

that would be my first concern - you know Mamy - I am worried sick about my sister - it's that is living beside this mad man, he has also done time for other offences - like he killed a dog, he has actually describbed himself as an utter thug - he is a very very bad man and my sister has heard that he was out of some Sunday (when she is with me) and he wreckked his house over drugs. Now guys I am getting really scared for.

Call the Northern Ireland Domestic Abuse helpline on 0808 802 1414 to seek advice. (They're open 24 hours. That number appears on the websites of both the PSNI and the Northern Ireland Executive, so it's as about as 'official' as it's possible to get).

If, because of your hearing difficulties, you don't feel happy calling, you can send an email instead: [email protected]

WOW, I can understand your worries jj. But has Mamya say's see the cops and use that link that Chris has posted.

[jennyjoan]

right - was arrested on Friday but tackled two policemen and should have been in for two weeks. - got out next day and he started screaming outside that somebody reported him - he did forget to say that he had beaten a young guy earlier that week. oh god.

Is he giving your sister grief? If he is bothering her I'm sure the police and neighbors will be looking out for her.
