Check on your local Craigslist...or freecycle for free fencing. I have been able to get several hunderd feet of chain link in almost new condition, for free! We are saveing it up untill I have enough to do the property line in full.

Yeah FC we are thinking fence. We figure it will be cut but we will probably do it anyway.

Dragonlaurel, I was thinking about putting out some cameras. But figured any cameras we put out will either be shot of or stolen.

That's why I said to hide the cameras. I believe they would mess with any they know about. Don't tell anyone about the cameras. You can use a web cam even, with software that will tell it to record when it senses motion.

Check for criminal record about the parents. Kids rarely get that twisted without a strong example of it. The example might not be family but it looks likely.
A fence is a good idea. Put no trespassing signs on each side so it is clearly marked in each direction. They might push it over or hop it but a hedge of something thorny inside would help that.

I hope you reported it about the pellet gun.
Talk to your mailman about the chicken foot.
Talk to cops and family services about the Mom being abused.
Report the chicken theft and foot to police and your local humane society. They need to know this kid kills animals for kicks.
Records of everything that happens will be a big help. Cops and Judges have to go by the info they are given.

Good luck!

Boy when it rains it pours. I have an elderly aunt who has no children. She is my mothers only living sister and we are very close.
About a week before my mother had her stroke my aunt fell and broke her hip. The original plan was for my aunt to move in with my mom. After mom had her stroke that was not an option so my aunt was in a major bind with no where to go. I work and had my hands full with my mom. One of my cousins showed up out of nowhere and offered my aunt a place with him and his wife. I balked at this idea and told my aunt she would be better off going to an assisted living facility until we could get things settled down between her, and my mom. (There was just so much going on I really did not have the mental capacity to think straight at that time). Any way, she did not want to do that. This cousin that showed up is one I had never met. None of the family ever had much to do with that part of the family because they were dangerous people. Any way she moved in with him, then purchased a mobile home and set it on his property. Now he has borrowed large amounts of money (which he pretty much demanded from my aunt and she felt obligated to give him) and he has not paid a penny back. He approached her again a few weeks ago for another large loan. She told him she did not have the money. He called her a liar and threatened her. He has broke into her house when she was gone and read her will. He is angry because she has left everything to my mother. Now she thinks she in in danger. I can't move her in with me because I don't have room. I would actually have to add on to the house which would take months. I have been on the phone all day trying to find someone that can break down her mobile home and move it this week. Its suppose to start raining again next week. She won't leave without the mobile home. (Her mental capaticity is not much better than mine sometimes.)
I am very frustrated today. Can you tell.

Good greif is right - and hey noobie - did you get an email from me?

 

[FarmerChick]

yes fencing is not cheap and it is sad you are forced to fence when you are not ready to do so. people are just


oh my on your aunt. yes take your time and find a reputable mover. it shouldn't be hard to do.....if necessary--call a mobile home seller. they can easily recommend a company to move a trailer. they should have info for you. alot of times their own company moves trailers and they won't do it for you----but they might know other companies and give you a heads up..

oh my gosh the stress you are under....do everything you can to RELAX somehow. believe me this can drive ya batty---as you know. slow down, breathe, and somehow unwind!!!!

 

[noobiechickenlady]

I did, sent you a reply too

 

[TTs Chicks]

Good Grief - you need a huge umbrella!! Hope things start to slow down and work out for you soon . . .

 

[Ldychef2k]

You have every right to be frustrated. I think I would be WAY more than just frustrated. I would be out for blood.

It's terrific that you can be there for your aunt. When I hear stories like these, I wish I could be there to help......

Have you no place to set the trailer on your property without adding a new addition to your house? I am sure you have thought of that as that would seem to be the easy solution. Also here, you can set trailers down on lots for a years lease, is that something possible?

But outside of that problem, eat plenty of veggies, your system always starts breaking down when it gets stressed.

Can she take care of a watch dog? fido would keep him out of her property.
