Since moving in in April 2014, the Sheriffs have been sent to my residence on an averaging of once a week by neighbors Thelma and Peggy Long, which are located directly across from my house. They constantly call the police on various non-criminal instances ranging from my son playing in the yard to the cars parking along the street. Recently the Long's called the Sherriff's office to report kids playing ball and the ball rolled onto the grass by the street, which is county owned. Three police cars and four officers were dispatched to my house for this. My kids were in fear and afraid they did something wrong, which they did not. Most of these complaints are invalid and do not warrant the Sheriff's attention, however this does appear to be a habitual act by the neighbors. Previous tenants have had the same harassing experience as I have and still it continues to be allowed to happen by the Sheriff's office. According to the other neighbors that have lived here for years, this has been going on for years, before we moved in. This type of activity has resulted in years of wasted time by our Sheriff's department due to numerous accounts of false and unnecessary issues that could have been avoided and definitely shouldn't have wasted police resources. The most recent example of their intimidating actions was this past Sunday after my 6 year old son's birthday party. He was playing with a remote controlled truck when it suddenly went in the wooded area just outside their property. One of the ladies came running off her porch screaming at my son yelling "Get the hell away from my property" He came home running scared and crying to me as I watched the whole event. He ran inside and was too scared to return outside to play. This isn't the first time such things have happened, and I have had enough. This is especially true when kids are the target of their aggression. This time I decided to call the police and was told that officers were already dispatched to the ladies' house at 181 Quailridge Lane, Fort Mill, SC 29708. It took 3 police cars and 4 officers to come out and do nothing but document the incident and tell the kids to play somewhere else. Another example took place just 2 weeks ago when the kids were throwing a football and it accidently went into their ditch and sure enough 15 minutes later not one, but three York County Sheriff officers were pulling into our street, responding like one of the most horrifying crimes you could ever imagine had taken place. All the officers ever do is write a report. I would like to hope that there is something that can be done. We feel we are harassed by these neighbors through their unnecessary use of police resources and nothing is ever done. We feel interrogated unjustly every time they speak to us. According to one Officer "He has to respond, record and write a report on every call" which he then stated "Every time takes an average of 45 minutes." There are numerous police reports for every incident (100's of them). Please help! The taxpayers need to know how their valuable hard-earned tax dollars are being wasted due to these ladies. And yet the authorities will do nothing when the ladies yell, curse, and on 2 occasions threaten to involve DSS on kids playing at our other neighbors' house. In reality, the kids aren't doing anything wrong and there is no need to involve the authorities at all. Several of my neighbors can also verify everything I've stated and will also note that this harassment has been years in the making and includes the previous tenants at my very same address. Those tenants have had restraining orders out on them from this situation. Kids in America should not fear that a police officer will show up to their house every time a ball hits the yard or a car is parked in front of the house which, by the way, apparently requires 3 patrol cars to respond. The Sheriff's have been here the last 4 days about something. They are targeting us and I contacted the Judge and was denied a restraining order yesterday. I cannot get any help from the judicial system in York County SC.
