When Hell Came to Our Home Part 2A

I haven't talked much about the trailer next door.  Normally I don't think much about it, but with all this trouble coming from that direction I'm reminded that things have been odd over there lately.

It's been abandoned for years, but the week before school starts there's a lot of activity going on over there.  Lots of people in and out

Seconded. They're breaking into your house (I'm assuming but it feels more like a certainty at this point), they're doing very suspicious things - I think this is way too big for any county lawyer. It's very likely that they're doing very illegal (if not very dangerous) things down there. Plus they scare the shit out of you, abuse their positions (as deputies etc) to make things difficult for you, make you (feel and be) unsafe. And they fucking took your baby once. I'd go crazy if I had a child and someone like that touched her.

Get the FBI, try to stay somewhere else as much as you can and record EVERYTHING. When my landlord was threatening me (a few weeks ago) I posted on FB and LJ every single time something happened. I text-messages my boyfriend and saved the messages on my phone. I called the police the one time they he tried to break in my door and told them to put my name and the case in the register, so that if anything happened to me, they'd see instantly that I'd been having trouble with my intimidating violent landlord just before then.

I suggest you try to take the same measures. Save all messages, update whenever you can, don't ever delete even the e-mails notifying you of a comment on your entries. Tell your friends, tell your family, call the police every time something happens, no matter if it's thrice a day, and make sure they record it/make a note of it.

If they're trying to discredit her sanity, that may not be the best solution.

However, if you've got access to technology, there are ways around reporting what's going on without anyone being able to make you look like a paranoid schizophrenic. http://reason.com/archives/2010/09/20/how-to-record-the-cops

If the police knows the problem they're more likely to believe her. If anything happens and she doesn't call the cops, they'll ask her why she didn't. If they don't believe her when she calls, they're free to come and check.

This is logical, but sadly is one of those pieces of logic that works better in theory than in practice. Law enforcement is like a pack of dogs, their mentality is vary us-vs.-them. If Bozo and DHS woman are part of the pack then the burden of proof as far as the cops are concerned is going to be with whoever else is involved.

And since police are trained to be paranoid, they project that onto anyone who has any of the behaviors. If you sound hysterical when you are talking to a policeman, they will discount most of what you say. It's not right, but it's how they work.
