What is the name of your state? VA
On 10/31/2006 my neighbor(mother of three children) whom we have had a on and off family relationship barged into my home and targeted my 14 year old wheelchair bound daughter and 3 of her friends. She yelled and screamed at them, stormed around my house pointing in their faces and said,"You don't want to mess with me or my children b/c I work on the school board and your asses will regret the day you did!!" She said other things, but that was the only threat made. She isn't on the school board, but she is a teacher in the school sytem where my 7 year old son, my daughter and the other 3 girtls attend.
She then ran out of my house hysterically yelling and screaming, making a total fool out if herslef(this was witnessed by my neighbors and her husband and children who where next door trick of treating. I wasn't home at the time, but my daughter called me on my cell phone and my husband ran home with in minutes. This incident terrified my daughter and her friends. My daughter said she was scared of what she might do to her if she said anything.
We called the police and they were unabe to do anything other than tell her to stay away, etc. The next day she called the police on my 7 year old son b/c his baseball rolled into her yard. She actually backed her van up to the end of the driveway so that there would be a better chance of him hitting it. She is crazy!
I went to the police station with my daughter 2 days later to press charges, they contacted the Commonwealth attorney and they would not give the Detective the OK to move forward with a warrant for breaking and entering with intent or any other felony that would stick. The did however tells us we could press charges for a Class 1mis § 18.2-121. Entering property of another for purpose of damaging it, etc.
It shall be unlawful for any person to enter the land, dwelling, outhouse or any other building of another for the purpose of damaging such property or any of the contents thereof or in any manner to interfere with the rights of the owner, user or the occupant thereof to use such property free from interference.
They feel confident this charge will return a guilty verdict, but they will not pursue it. We have to file the charges, get the warrant and represent ourselves at our expense.
I am just blown away by the law here. You can actaully walk into anyone's home and do and say anything you want as long as you don't threaten anyone or damage their property.
My question is anyone familar with this code and do you have any advice to help us through this process? My daughter is scared now to stay alone and she is almost 15. Something has to be done to stop this woman from doing and saying anything she wants. I would not put anything past her after this incident. I might add too that she has a history of overuse of narcotics(but I don't know if I can prove it) she is on antidepressants and she has told me that she takes anti-physchotic medication.
Thirty minutes before this incident I was at her house talking to her and taking pictures of our kids together for halloween.
Do I have any recourse with the school b/c she used her status as a teacher to threaten?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you, LorriWhat is the name of your state?
