"My daughter and son-in-law were beaten up by their neighbors. They have had a dispute for several months because my daughter bought them a car. The neighbors came to kick their front door at night. My daughter did not dare to complain because she was afraid. About ten days ago, my granddaughter received one of her friends. They were on the balcony chatting and got watered. was the neighbor's friend who was having fun watering them.
My granddaughter's friend told her to stop. When the girls came down later, the neighbor called out to my granddaughter's friend: "You don't talk like that to my husband, I'm going to give you two slaps". She received several slaps. She found herself on the ground. She kicked him in the ribs and in the stomach. My daughter had to intervene because the neighbor was starting to strangle her. The girl filed a complaint. When they returned, the neighbor said, "Not even afraid."
" My daughter was punched in the head "A few days later, the neighbors trapped my daughter's companion on the stairs. He got beaten up and they pushed him up the stairs. My daughter wanted to defend it. She got hit by the neighbor's boyfriend who is quite strong. She told me that she had been punched on the head. I cried for two days. My granddaughter, who attended the scene, wanted to call the police. They stole his phone from him. They offer to give the phone back for cash.
These neighbors live on the ground floor. They see everything that is happening. They don't work, so they spend their days on their balconies spying on people. She returned the car to them and stopped paying them, so they are not happy. They want money because they are willing to blackmail me to return my granddaughter's laptop. Two police officers showed up. One of them looked at me, sighed, and said, "Fed up with these neighbor conflicts."

My grandson is nine years old. He's terrorized, he doesn't want to go to school anymore. He was there when his mother got hit. On weekends, he goes to his grandmother's. He is afraid because you have to go past these neighbors to get out. I'm afraid too, because when the neighbor hit my daughter, he said, "The next one is your mother." I live very badly. When I go to pick up the children, I no longer park in front of their house. I'm afraid they'll attack my car. I am traumatized.
I think my kids are going to have to go. They've been living there for a year. Moving them would cost them and finding another apartment quickly is not always easy. My daughter is not calm. She tells me that she has trouble sleeping and that she doesn't eat much anymore. She is very upset. My daughter has to go see the landlord, but I think she's afraid it'll make things worse. We're all scared. "
