my last comments on this then I am not going to post.
1. yes the incident was between 2 members of the household we are living right beside, my wife is a stay at home mom and the incident was precluded by a couple days of the individual walking around the back yard yelling and growling, the morning of the latest incident he was screaming in a demonic voice, I overheard the other individual (also mentally challenged) come out of the house screaming he was being chased with a knife, another neighbour must have heard earlier as the police we already showing up so I went inside.
2. moving, while a burden is of course an avenue and we are exploring that as well however, I have a genuine compassion and concern that this individual is not receiving the care he should be, us moving isn't changing that.
3. I'm not looking to start a witch hunt on mentally challenged people, I grew up with people having different mental challenges with my grandmother running a group home, I would like to see this person get the help he needs, if that means he has to be transferred to a different place so be it if that's what best. I'll reiterate for the first 4 years we had ZERO concern living next to this neighbour.
4. I'd like to thank everyone for the feedback, I am making calls to AHS and CPS today just to speak with someone and have my concerns known and provide a statement of the hours the caregiver is not around (we started keeping a log after the incident, i failed to mention this before). as others have mentioned. I will also speak with the caregiver and take the approach Para Transit fellow advised on
at the end of the day I'd like to know that my family is safe and that this person is getting the care they should be.
