There are laws against fighting in Scotland. If there were laws against trespassing I could have Jehovas Witnesses arested for coming to my door and born again christians like my uncle that go door to door trying to "save" people. If you invited someone into your house you can hardly complain about them being there but if they forced their way in you can call the cops, or you can use what's known as "reasonable force" to protect yourself and your property.

I live in a council scheme as well and I was in a different flat than the one that I'm in now and when I was there I was harassed by some local kids that were following me about and hanging about outside my flat and pestering me. I put in a complaint to the council and they did an investigation and offered me a different flat in another area. That's what I did about it and I haven't really had any problems like that since.

I really don't know much about the laws in Scotland. I have
ancestry from both sides, who came from there, but that was
from well over 100 years ago. Also have some from England
and Ireland as well.

Your Uncle is a good man. Save those heathens, Uncle!:wink: laugh
Here you can do nothing about people canvassing. Some apartment
buildings put up signs to stop their attempt. " No loitering"
or "no canvassing allowed".

Wow! These kids had pestered you so bad, that you had
to leave your home, for another one!surprised I had
gone through a similar situation some 23 years ago,
where the little kids next door, would go off their
property, onto ours and throw crab apples at our house.

I had enough and went out to confront them. I told them
to stop it or I'd tell their parent's. They said their
Dad was rich, so they could do whatever they wanted.
It was summer so I had my shirt off. A kid climbed one
of our trees and threw a crab apple, which hit me in
the stomach.

I went back to the house, yelling "that's it, I'm calling
the cops!". It actually worked, to a point. They still
would on occasion throw the odd crap apple at the back
of our house, but they just weren't as fierce as they
were prior to my threatening them.

Yeah, it's a long story but I am partially sighted and those kids were harassing me because of that. One day when I went out for a walk they threw stones at me and when I phoned the social worker and told him that I had to get out of there he just said that I would get that anywhere and advised me to stay where I was. That's social workers for you. He just wanted to close the case and wash his hands of me. It was my mother that put the complaint in to the council and they did an investigation like I said and offered me another flat. I've been here for sixteen years now and it did take me a while to build up my confidence again but I'm happy where I live now and don't get nervous when I go out for a walk with my dog.

All of us have probably experienced having someone we didn't care for being overly interested in us. The new term is "stalking" and the old term was "Pain in the A__").

Since I am not a fearful person, the threat of being stalked doesn't concern me.

If someone traced a cell phone number for me it would lead to a prepaid phone and an email address to a GMX account that is also a dead end. Neither produce useful information.

Edited to add: Of course, it one is na�ve enough to give out a home phone number their address might be found with reverse-lookup, and if the email address they share is primary for them or contains their name, they might be identifiable.

That is crazy! The law should be a lot less lenient on
stalkers.


I just don't understand why people do that. Can't they just get on with their own business? I know how I almost ended up because of it. So, if it goes too far, I'm not sure I can stop them. This may sound silly, but seeing as there's meant to be government spies, spying on people's internet use, then I kind of hope one would see what I type, so that they could order some force of protection for me outside of my home. I'm agoraphobic, so the last thing I need is to not want to go outside because I feel inferior. I want to be able to feel I can do my own shopping, but your brain warns you against it. You know it's not being logical, but your instinct tells you not to go outside incase something bad will happen.


So sorry to hear you are going through a hard time right now,
Rawwrr girl,with the stalker and agoraphobia.sad2 Try to stay
positive, and everything should work out fine.

Do you think it was the stalking initially that caused your
agoraphobia You should call the cops on this guy if he gets
too pushy.




Thankyou for trying to understand :) The ironic thing, is away from this one problem, I'm always quite upbeat. I do think the stalking caused the agora, yeah, because you can't get Agora from nowhere without a reason. There are housing officers who don't really listen, but neither do the police. It's like this in a lot of places. I just don't want to think I'll get jumped on, or attacked, if I one day decide to go out alone. My brain can't comprehend the fact that I may feel overly paranoid where neighbours are. Though, not just ANY neighbour. Is it understandable enough, if I get jumpy just because I hear loud drunks outside near my garden gate? I do try my best to ignore it, but again, the brain does what it wants, so is hard to see past that. I feel reluctant to go back home, after someone has took me anywhere. I really feel I should just abandon the house and run away to anywhere that would take me in. Also, it can get difficult to explain. The therapist gives me loads of practical exercises, e.g, walk to the nearest shop and back really fast. I still can't get myself to do that. I can go into my back garden, but feel less safe in the FRONT garden. I feel so lame for being like this. Not that I ever thought life was easy.

Sorry. I hope I'm not over-taking the thread with my lame issue. I wouldn't intend to.

I normally don't give out my number, unless we r going to meet. And if someone asks for my e-mail, I give them an e-mail address that I use specifically for mingle2. That account has no personal info, and all the mandatory personal info I had to fill in to get the account is fake. So basically if something ever goes wrong, all I have to do is delete the account. Also I make sure that, that e-mail address has no links to any social media sites. So hopefully this will keep me from having any stalkers, bigsmile

Those little buggers!:angry:

There isn't much social workers or the cops can do
for you, in that situation here either. You pretty much
have to biotch your butt off to the higher ups to get
something done.

Happy to hear you aren't having any more problems with
regards to kids pestering you over your disability.happy
How is your eyesight now?

It's saddening to me that you, another woman/ or any
other person for that matter should have to go through
such an ordeal.sad2 If it becomes too much to bear
maybe you should consider selling. If the exercises
that the therapist is giving you are helping, then
that may not be necessary.

I know there are things that can traumatize us, and
make us feel we can't rebound from these experiences.
We have to work at it and stay positive.

How is your eyesight now?


My eyesight is pretty much the same, as far as I can tell. It does make it hard for me to get out and meet people, although I have tried lots of things over the years. I don't like going to places that I don't know on my own and I wouldn't travel outside my home town to meet somebody. I can see well enough to get about without bumping into things but I can get lost quite easily. If I'm meeting someone for a date I get a taxi, or they just come here to meet me.

I don't have anything to do with charities or social workers after the way that they treated me. They just try to get you to use a white stick and although I didn't want to do that, I decided to give it a go and that's why those kids harassed me. Never again. I was also turned down for a guide dog, so I just got my own dog and dressed him up like one. People don't treat you so much like a freak that way.
