So Afraid!!!!!!

Tao81

Amani - I am shocked and horrified. The advise you have already been given here so far is really good and I can't think of anything else to add really, other than reiterate what others have been saying about your DH not going out to challenge them again if they return. They could be more fully armed if they do return and be banking on the same response from your DH which would play right into their hands :eek: He was so courageous last night and you must feel so proud of him, but he is silly if he does it again, your family needs him safe and well. He can't protect you if he ends up injured and needing serious hospital attention or worse?! HE MUST LEAVE THIS TO THE POLICE, REGARDLESS OF ANY CRITICISM HE MAY HAVE FOR HOW THEY ARE DEALING WITH IT! You must keep reporting and calling on them if necessary as they are best trained to take on risky and dangerous situations such as this.

I hope the police respond really quickly if you need them tonight (and I'm praying you won't). Police here in Devon are currently using head cameras, is there anything like that where you are? They've had great success with these devices and it has increased their success in gaining convictions. They are even lending them to the local fire service now, so there is obvioulsy sufficient funding available!.

I feel so heartbroken when I hear of cases like this and get really angry to see so much revenue and manpower consistently being pumped into over-policing motoring offences when our citizens are so often neglected by not getting the protection they need from the police when they are genuinely feeling threatened and unsafe in their own homes......Madness!!!!!:mad: :mad:

Hope it's all quiet this evening for you amani - sending lots of love to you and yours and will be thinking of you all. xxxx

Amani, I am so sorry this has happened. I'm glad you have the camera ready. I'd also advise you to contact your local police station tomorrow. You will have a local community officer and I'd encourage you to contact him/her and have a meeting with them. Also your local councellor. Big hugs luv xx

lunar we also experience prejudice on a regular basis me more than hubby. I am a strong person and can deal with these things. But this has really frightened me. I cant beleive that people can come to your home and do this and get away with it because you dont know who they are!

I just cant believe they have come to your home, where i live it is very multi cultural, we are near to major hospitals and a university, and i think that helps as people live round here from all over the world. call the police at the first sign tonight, they will help you, you musnt let them think they can win or it will never stop.

I know you must be a strong person and im sure you will have faced similar situations to me, feel free to pm me if you want to chat and need some support.

i agree with videoing anything that happens on a camera or mobile phone..it will all help your case if they can be seen doing this to your lovely husband.
Make sure he tells them that they are being filmed too..it may make them think.

If it happens again tonight (and I sincerely hope it doesn't) then dial 999 immediately anything happens, tell the police this is the second such incident you have suffered in 2 days. Ensure they know there are children in the house too. And make sure you report it as a race hate crime, these things are taken very seriously these days - and rightly so.
Also ask if there is a Community Safety Dept at your local council, if so get in contact with them, our one is very helpful and know how to help in situatiuons like these.
Thinking of you - let us know how you get on?

A local police officer has just been on the phone to me he has appolagised(sp?) for the way we were treated by the police responding to the insident last night. He said they special police offices and inexperienced. He said that they can do something about this and they are sending an officer out to see us tonight. I feel better already.

That's great news, hopefully they will be able to sort this out for you.

I think you'll find that the police will take this very seriously indeed these days. It would be much better for your husband to keep a low profile, however angry and humiliated he feels. This is racism at its ugliest and you need help.
Don't worry about the topic not being related to debt - the moderators will move it if need be.

Just seen this thread and wanted to add a voice of support really.

I'm disgusted at the abuse you've suffered too.

I agree with everyone that has said please do not let your husband go out again if they return. If he says he wants to protect his family (I can understand that) tell him the best way he can do that is by staying safe inside and call the police immediately.

The camera is definitely a TOP idea and can be used if anything else happens and you can prosecute.

Let's hope they don't return and that they'll just take their ignorant and cowardly behaviour elsewhere.

Hugs - I am so sorry you experience prejudice from stupid people.
