Help with parent's neighbor...?

Question

Okay, well, I am getting constant complaints from my parents, & I'd like to know what all of you think. =] My dad has been friends with a man named Greg for a while now. Recently, Greg got a divorce from his wife, and had no place to go. My dad, being a nice guy, offered to let Greg stay at their place. Now they find that he has been stealing alcohol, food, and gasoline. [The gasoline thing really put my dad over the edge, with the prices it is these days.] Now, Greg is acting like their is nothing wrong since my parents have yet to confront him. My mom is scared to talk to him herself, though, since she thinks he will " seek revenge. " He always *jokingly* talked about throwing my small dog over the garage... which upset me. Now my mom thinks that he will possibly kill their dog if they yell at him & tell him to leave. He can be a violent man, and with his past comments about hurting my dog really made my parents concerned. What do you think they should do ?

Answer 1

Pack his stuff and have the police there ready in case he starts something. Your dad should never of allowed a violent man into your home. Get a restaining order against him. Video his bad behaviour without him knowing.

Answer 2

About the dog, find a freind who will take him for a while. Your parents need to tell him its time to leave, if they feel bad maybe they can say something like your uncle, aunt, and their 2 kids are coming to live with you cause their house burned down. He needs to leave within 3 days. then if he does not leave, call the police.

Answer 3

I know this will seem extreme... but get the police involved if you feel like there's a reason to be concerned about violence or retaliation.

Answer 4

call the police
