err not sure really.

lets see.

the mom, boyfriend and i think 2-3 kids. though not 100% sure

I think I saw the boyfriend doing stuff to the kids.

Your neighbor really seem like stereotypical white trash. I bet you would be doing society a favor by calling it in and going to their level. Do you want someone in the future to go through the same shit you went through when their kids grow up?

eh way past that. i have tried being nice. I have went over and talked to them about driving on my property. response i got was "get the fuck off my property".

i have not done anything to them. i don't talk to them. Even when they have threatened my kids snowman and my property.

calling DCFS on me wich puts my kids in jepardy is crossing the line.

so all those other threads are lies?

are you fucking stupid? what did I DO? i asked them to STOP driving on MY property. when they refused i called the cops. Then had a survey OF MY PROPERTY.

so please show me where I have done something wrong.

you got blinders on, you obviously have done stuff, and they have as well. im not gonna take the time to point shit out when you definitely arent going to listen.

good luck.
Reporting a neighbor to DCFS because you don't like them is beyond fucked up. I don't care how much a person hates their neighbors, that is a line you don't cross. You think it would be appropriate for me to beat up a guy's kids because of a disagreement between him and I? Doing anything that threatens a person's family over a silly little squabble is just messed up.

Is it wrong to make a false report of child abuse to DCFS if you know it is false?

Under Illinois law any person who knowingly makes a false report to DCFS commits the offense of disorderly conduct, a Class B misdemeanor. Punishment can includes up to 6 months of jail and a fine of up to $500.
I'd push DCFS to pursue legal action against your neighbors. You should talk to a lawyer as well in case the neighbors try to pull more shit like this. DCFS has a lot of authority when it comes to abuse claims, and it's not like they can ignore them, even if it appears to be fraudulent. I'd do whatever needs to be done to protect your family, because it sounds like your neighbors are some real nutjobs and have absolutely no regard for your children.

I mean doesn't this scare the crap out of you? Do you think they would ever physically harm your children?

Somebody say Anonymous?

Maybe it's time to take this to 4chan.

. . . may not bode well for children, though.

What are they going to do? Hack Google Earth and have PedoBear peek from around their house?

sounds like a good way for evil people to get back at someone [with kids].

BTW, in the barking dog thread yesterday I mentioned this is why you let the cops deal with neighbor issues - so you retain your anonymity (assuming you have a lot of neighbors of course) and avoid troubles like this. Generally speaking, keep to yourself and nobody will ever bother you.

It'd be a bit spendy, but you could always drop "salable quantities" of illicit drugs in their cars...all bundled up and ready for sale...then, once they leave, make the call...
"Hey, I saw "such and such a car" at "insert local drug area" and it looked like they were buying or selling drugs"

This.

Also...

Can't the DCFS prosecute your neighbor for filing a false report with them? (or have the police look into it.)

I'm looking at Esmond, IL on Google Maps and it seems like it's be very hard to be anonymous. There's approximately 2-3 dozen houses within 1000 square feet!

You're right. You have to go even lower to win. Molotov their house and gun down anyone who tries to escape the flames! :p

Agreed. Take the legal, high road. Also, your lawyer may be able to draft some sort of cease & desist letter that essentially says, "fuck around more and we're going to pwn your ass in court." Also, you want to be the first to take the straight path into the legal system - before they do. i.e. Imagine they claim that you've been threatening them & file for an order of protection. At that point, any action by you through the legal system is going to look like it's simply done for retaliation.

Move to a city with a population greater than an elementary school. Then you can get along with pretending your neighbors don't exist the way we do here in Los Angeles.

it really sucks. every other neighbor in town is great. IF i need help with something there are at least 3 people in town that will come over in 5 minutes.

until these people moved into town i never thought twice about having to lock my door. IF something did disapear from my garage i would get a call saying hey i took this. i will bring it back in themorning etc.
