I got a call form the police and they were having trouble getting an address so the lady constable asked if my 13 yr old would show them the house - they live a half a block away. The constable asked me for the whole story and then she went down, to warn her to refrain from making obscene gestures to my kids. Since her and my daughter still play at recess with other friends I said it's fine they keep doing this - I want things to be better with the kids.
I told the officer to expect complete denial and the officer told us to keep a list of time, day etc of any future problems. I told my daughter not to say anything, even if they try to talk about this. I hope the neighbor will adhere to the warning and not seek revenge for me calling the police. I guarantee it won't be me who'll end up arrested. I don't think I'm projecting my feelings on them - if anything I teach them to be diplomatic and fair. I'm also well aware my daughters are their own person.
