Location: Four Corners Colorado | So the other night I had a neigborhood kid run down my fence, and he left and didn't say a word. The only reason I found out what neigbor it was, was because they left their licence plate in the fence. My husband posted about some retarded drunk running down our fence, before the cops tracked the kid down and then we got these notes on facebook.
Don't know how long you have lived here, but a couple words of advice, You live right in the middle of all that's kids family who by the way is a 6th generation in the county.Don't crap on your neighbors, kido!! Do not appreciate you calling my grandson a retard.
I don't quite know how to take it? I really want to write back because these neighbor kids, speed down the road like crazy to the point I won't even let me nephew ride down the road on his bike. They let their dog's run and they throw their trash out in our ditch. I didn't intend to start a war but I don't want to be bullied either.

Location: USA | I don't care who they are. THey should have the decency to apologize and fix your fence. Sounds like they have gotten away with a lot through the years and expect you to look the other way. Be stern but cautious. I would write back and apologize that my husband called her grandson a retard but you had no idea who it was since they did not stop and apologize or offer to repair the fence. Let her know you want to be good neighbor and would like the same from everyone else, including an apology and an offer to repair the damaged fence. Tell her that you have concerns with being able to let your nephew ride his bike down the street. Be honest but in a nice neighborly way. |

| Maybe write him back saying if the kid had fixed the fence he tore up, then no one would know what a retard you think he is. I too have problems with the drunk neighbor putting up a swimming pool ladder over our fence to go to his friend's to drink and leaving his bottles in our pasture. I now walk the fence throwing his bottles into his own yard and returning his ladder to his own property. No use talking to him since he'll just lie and say No habla English. I also have to patrol the road on July 4 and new years so they don't shoot off fire works into our pasture, which one year they did set on fire. Luckily it only burned about a half acre before they could get it out. We were out of town and came home to see it. No one would own up to it. So I feel your pain.  |

I would go through the legal system and let them hold the kid responsible . I would also screen shot the post you copied above in case things escalate after they recieve the bill.
My husbands truck slid on the ice into the neighbors new vinyl fence last week and the first thing we did was knock on her door , get the installers # who put up her fencing and ordered a new panel through them to fix next week. The next day I sent him over with fresh lemon bars. When you ruin something that is not yours you fix it , not leave the scene.

Dear Neighbor,
Nice to meet you. Please, accept my apology for calling your grandson a retard. I spoke prematurely. At the time, I wasn't sure we'd ever find the person that ran over 600 feet of fence. Judging from the amount of damage, we assumed that only a drunk retard or someone traveling 80 miles per hour could leave such damage. Please, let me know where to send his license plate and the bill for the cost of new fence and labor. Since he is not retarded (per you), I can only assume that he has a speeding problem and will pray that he does not kill himself or someone else should this happen again.

| Yeah, we have some families like that in our area. Their families pretty much started the little town, so they think they run everything. Not really as liked or respected as they like to believe, but be prepared to be harassed. When we first moved out here we kinda went through this. Nothing serious and now that the kid is grown with kids of his own, it's uncomfortable for him and hilarious for us. He is a good guy now but a little wild when he was young. |

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | When did facebook become so freaking serious?
First of all, did you name the grandson specifically in your post? Well, then, if you didn't, then technically you didn't call HIM a retard. Second, is his grandmother friends of yours on facebook? If not, she saw the post because it was public, so change your settings....
Lastly, people (speaking of the grandmother) really need to stop using facebook as a bully method. Had she truly been offended by the retard comment, she should have asked you to your face to not call her grandson that. I hate facebook at times like this.
My advice, the kid apologized, he cleaned up his mess, it's being paid for by the insurance company.
Be the bigger person and ignore the message and walk away from it. No good will come of any response, no matter how rude or how polite you will be.
And not that it matters......but I really hate the word retard no matter how it is used......it was originally "invented" and associatd with the mentally handicapped. So when you call someone a retard, it could be translated to that capacity, which offends me (not that it matters) since I have an aunt who is in fact mentally "challenged" (not handicapped if you ask me). She has Downs Syndrome. Now I don't think any less of someone who uses the word, it's just a word, but just call him stupid next time. |

No my husband didn't post a name because we didn't know who did it. I really, really want to write something but in my heart I know no matter what it will not go well, no matter how I try to word it. I will save the message just in case we have any problems. I plan on putting in cameras too. |

See, you already knew before you asked.
It's not easy, especially when you are the victim of some persons stupidity. And now you feel bullied. It's not fair. Quite frankly, the grandmother really had no right to message you.
But I think ignoring it will make your life easier. And I do like the idea of saving it. |

Location: California | The best thing you can say is nothing at all at this point. Let your actions do the talking . You contacted the law because their grandson left the scene of an accident without trying to establish a solution with you at the time. All you had to go off of was a license plate left at the scene and the cops handled it as they would any situation like that. Take the high road , it will feel better in the long run. You have nothing to prove to these people. If your husband is in agreement , maybe ask him to delete the comment and move forward with your life as it was before dealing with these people.

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | I will have to say I find it very very sad that the grand mother's mind set is to attack you and your husband.....all this knowing that her grandson caused damage, was involved in a vehicular incident, and chose to run instead of owning up to it. If that had been one of us as kids....we learned the hard way to own up immediately. We either located the closest responsible adult or waited until one came along. We learned not to wait until we got caught. It was just the right thing to do.
I am glad he did apologize and cleaned it up though. That's a start. |

That is the scary part! If they had been 100' further down the road they would have run right into my bedroom. Here is a pic, they took out the front fence and landed in a deep pea gravel rehab pen, if it wasn't for that they probably would have ended up taking out the trailer or the shed.

| One thing I really get a chip on my shoulder about is the word "retard" being used as a synonym for stupid. Retardation is a condition. People with a normal IQ who make poor decisions should be called "stupid."
You had em by the gonads with the license plate! Why didn't you simply call the police instead of mouthing (or typing) off? Google grief!
Good luck! |

We called the Sheriff first thing. Hubby posted mad and hoping to find out if anyone knew anything. It is a very small town so word gets around. We didn't find the plate until we started cleaning up. Other wise we would have been S.O.L. until grandma sent her little message. |

| I'm utterly amazed at their attitude. Especially referencing how long they've lived there. ----------True story. Years ago, a young man took his 4x4 truck out in one of my grandfathers soybean fields mudding. He sunk it to the frame, and ran off and left it. My grandfather stuffed a rag in the fuel tank set it on fire and walked away. |

| Sorry you're having to deal with this. We had a neighbor sue his next door neighbor because his dog barked. One night I came home from a race and heard the dog owner cussing. Then I heard gunshots. The drunk neighbor was shooting at him while he was feeding his dogs! I called the police and they came out and told him not to shoot at his neighbor and left! |

A similar thing happened at my parent's house when I was younger. The kids were so drunk and high they thought they were on the freeway. If we didn't have a ditch and a fence they would've hit the house and probably died.
Now the 'best' part...the driver was the son of one of my mom's coworkers!!! She promised he would fix the ditch and the fence...never happened. What is wrong with people? |

Anyway, you never called her grandson a retard. She did when she mentioned it was her grandson.
Additionally, "that's kids family" is totally screwed up grammar. The first sentence is a run on and kido should be "kiddo." Apparently in 6 generations, they can neither drive nor use grammar properly.
I would ignore the dinks and change my settings to block them.

Location: Oregon | I can relate to your frustration. Although my family has been out here for over 150 yrs, I try and never cause any harm to my neighbors property. Most of them however came from the city, think they are in the country so they are entitled to do whatever they want. The back side of my property is surrounded by a subdivision-all the houses are on 1/2 to 2 acres. I have had them shooting guns and bullets going past my house while I am in my backyard, throwing their grass clippings to my horse and the most recent incident was with fireworks on the 4th of july. They caught my barn on fire. Luckily I saw it in time, fire dept was here in 2 min and I was able to save my hay that we just put in that day and not lose the whole structure. It does no good to talk to them. They say they are in the country, they can do what they want. |

| When I moved to my present location there were neighbors who thought it was 'their' neighborhood and 'their' rules ruled. I was fine with that until we lost 3 cats in the first few months we lived here, the first of which was my first very special snow leopard bengal Tahuti. I confronted the neighbor with the cat-eating dog and it went downhill from there. However, I eventually got ALL the neighbors educated to leash laws. We trapped more dogs and sent them with animal control. We also had a neighbor who had built about half their barn on our back corner. That came down. I didn't want to start a war either, but when backed into a corner I will come out fighting, after lots of research to make sure I will win. |

I also would not care what generation they are or how long they have been there. What happened to decent bringing up, morals and respect for others. Tell granny to put a leash on that kid and send them a bill for the fence. I'm in a good mood today so they got off easy. If my child done something like that, I cant' post what I would do to them or here... Sorry about your fence and that the poor kids can't even ride their bike down the road.

I dont agree with what the kid did, But I hate the word RETARD even more!! I have a special needs child and I bet he wouldnt drive crazy or hit a fence... You have no idea how that word hurts. Like said to all the flame throwers that will jump on me for this post, I DO NOT agree with what the kid did and his being unresponsibe!!
I've got your back mama. The word "retard" needs to STOP being synonymous with "stupid".
Those are some real winner neighbors that you've got there OP. I would ignore the message on FB, but save it in case there is ANY sort of "retaliation" or future issues. It sounds like she is the matriarch of those 6 generations and trying to get you into a ****ing contest so she can assert her dominance. |

| I feel your pain. My horses have been poisoned but could not actually prove who did it. Fortunately I had a great dedicated vet, the horses lived and that crazy neighbor moved. Last year I had a peaking tom who told me he had seen me then went to school and told everyone he had seen me naked and I was hot--I'm not. I called the constable who went and talked to the little black mf'ers mother. She captured me coming out of my driveway one morning and said that the constable had had a bunch of complaints about me telling everyone her son was peeking in my windows. I politely told her that I called the constable myself. She tried to use the black issue and when I said no one ever said anyone was black she backed off. Haven't had a problem since. Low intelligence level here. Since it has been reported, I'll shoot him next time.
About three weeks ago, my next door neighbor's kids shot my horse with a pellet gun. I was outside when they shot her. They shot their own dog about 5 minutes later. Three days later, my horse was three legged lame. Called the constable and he said I could file charges or he could go talk to them. Since my neighbors, like yours, are vindictive, I told him to go talk to them. That has worked well other than I have a $170 vet bill. I have to live next door to these people. I have lived here 33 years and I an not moving. They have lived here a shorter period of time.
I recommend that you call the sheriff's dept and report the incident. Let them handle it. KEEP the license plate. If they will not at least talk to the neighbors, talk to a lawyer. I really think that the kid will take care of himself. If he can't drive any better than that. He will probably kill himself. If he does be sure to send a sympathy card to show you have no hard feelings. |

Teacher here and I totally agree. |
