Have you tried moving? that must be a stressful situation to be in, considering you have to worry about your son growing up there.
Stay safe.

would it do any good to get a video camera and put the area under surveillance
Thanks for your concern guys, I genuinely appreciate it...
I have thought about moving but haven't for two reasons:
1) I can't afford to, due to the recession etc my house is worth less than what I paid for it, also it's in need of some major TLC and I can't afford
to do it up... Means I can't sell...
And
2) I don't think decent folk moving away is helpful, it just makes the situation worse and we end up with no-go Asian/black/white areas where certain
people are terrified to go because of the racial hatred and gang violence...
As for the camera thing; there's a house behind mine and off to the side and he as installed cameras that look over the area because he came home one
day to find a bunch of guys robbing his house... Sadly, it's made no difference. My next door neighbour was burgled in broad daylight last September
and the cameras filmed the guy doing it but, when the cops came they didn't even look at the footage, even though the guy who owns the cameras came
out to tell them he had the video...
Thing is, it's not really the coppers fault.. It's the CPS, they won't prosecute and even if they get it to court they can say they're on drugs or
whatever and they're given a treatment order and told not to be so naughty in future...
I've worked with people who have literally had nearly two hundred arrests and 150+ convictions and they're still allowed to go about doing what
they've always done... It's a losing battle when the CPS and the courts do eff all... I feel or the cops sometimes because their hands are tied...
More on topic: I'm not sure this is a fair representation of Muslims really. I think that these people/gangs use the label 'Muslim' as an identity, as
a foundation (and maybe even justification) for their actions. I suspect it's very little to do with Sharia law and much more to do with them wanting
to impose control, and bully and intimidate, which is the way of any gang looking to extend its influence...
And to the poster before with all the 'rag heads', 'they all smell' etc... You're doing more harm than good and your attitude is very immature... I
don't mean to insult you, I don't mean it like that, just that insults and abusive remarks stir the pot even more, they don't help to sort it out... I
get that you're angry, I feel that way too sometimes but being a racist won't help...
