She's lucky she only got a restraining order, that's behavior worthy of jail time for sure.

The taking advantage of the kindness of neighbors happens here, although not to the extent of physical abuse--that is horrible. <br />I'm glad the problems have stopped.Coleen Patrickhttp://coleenpatrick.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875999221456761044.post-25869110458293908392011-12-13T06:43:13.833-06:002011-12-13T06:43:13.833-06:00That's when ALL the neighbors should band toge...That's when ALL the neighbors should band together and stand up to little miss bully. Oh, I'd be livid, too. I read every word of this and she's lucky I have no idea where she lives. Oh, BTW, the bullying happens in the upper-middle class neighborhoods, too. It's just as mean and ugly but a little less obvious at times.<br /><br />*deep breath*<br /><br />Okay, thanks so much for checking out my book trailer over at Alex's blog. I love your site so much that I joined through Google Connect. :)Ciarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15628488753277495111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875999221456761044.post-37312831506989952042011-12-12T22:28:18.337-06:002011-12-12T22:28:18.337-06:00Thank you for sharing this.

I would speculate that drugs are involved to make someone so hateful, but anymore it doesn't have to be the case. Some people are just born a**holes.Luanne G.

In the meantime, many of us are now aware of the situation so L has multiple sets of eyes looking out for him.<br /><br />And Margo, I agree. As a society, we don't really treat our elders with the same respect as many other cultures do. It makes me so sad.TL Conwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831728300345220814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875999221456761044.post-59340395610324941222011-12-12T11:39:17.482-06:002011-12-12T11:39:17.482-06:00Heartbreaking!

We have a lot of foreign students in our town attending the University, I like to ask them what surprised them most about the US. Sometimes they say good things, like how friendly we are. But several time I've heard them say how shocked they were at how elders are un-valued in our society.Margo Berendsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476308235642890474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875999221456761044.post-12454172788152883992011-12-12T10:04:00.876-06:002011-12-12T10:04:00.876-06:00I cannot believe that a 16 year old girl has the g...I cannot believe that a 16 year old girl has the gall to take advantage of an elderly man.
