What is the name of your state? Washington
I tutor a group of children at my home. The children are from 6 to 10 years old. I just started a new group today (its an after-school group) when low and behold, my neighbor, a very large and intimidating man, came crashing into my front door banging and calling my name. All of the children and one of the parents were in the living room. I thought there was an emergency and went to the door. At that point he started screaming and swearing (really nasty swear words) telling me to get my F-ing G-D- dogs inside and stop their F-ing G-D- barking. None of us heard any barking and I later polled all of the neighbors who said that the dogs across the street were barking but not mine. I asked him to calm down and tried to get outside to talk to him but he continued to stand in my front room door and scream and yell and make demands. The kids were frightened and I told him there were little kids (he could see them) and he said I don't care about any little F-ing kids F-the kids just get the G-D- dogs, get out here now!!! I told him I would get the dogs and he kept saying get out here now, you better get out here now!! and holding the door. I finally made him understand that I had to let the dogs in from the back door and he let me shut the door.
Needless to say, the kids were terrified. Well, so were a couple of the parents. One parent has already pulled her child out of the program stating that she will write a letter explaining that the reason that she is pulling the child out soley has to do with the fact that she fears for her childs safety due to what she witnessed from the "unbalanced, agressive neighbor" . He started yelling again later after the kids had gone so I called the police who, after talking to him, suggested that I go tomorrow to get a restraining order. They felt that he was unpredictable and warned me to keep all of the kids inside. Another parent is probably pulling her child as well based on the fact that her husband was screamed at by this neighbor as well.
I am losing a years worth of tutoring at $520.00 per month X 9 months due to this neighbor. This is just from one child. If I lose more children I could potentially lose That x 4. Also my son is terrified now.
Someone said that I can hold him responsible for loss of income, is this true? Would I need to take him to court and if so what should I have first? I will get the restraining order tomorrow and I have hidden the dogs at my parents house so that he cannot harm them. By the way, I guess he hosed them down as well as they are soaking wet. He never even called me to let me know anything was bothering him.
Thanks for your time in advance,
Carole
