I just spoke to the HSLDA lawyer, and he said that because the call was made anonymously, S.S. doesn't take them seriously Unfortunately, we can't find out who did it.

On another note, the kids are doing better, except our 10dd, who had 3 unbelievable meltdowns before lunch today, and our 6ds wet the bed. We're just now getting any school done this week.

Thanks for all your prayers and support. You are in our prayers. God bless you.

Ruth, so sorry to read about all this. This is one of those things that we all fear as homeschoolers I think. I will pray for all of you that the worry and anxiety and anger will pass soon.

God be with you.

Ruth,

So sorry to hear of this persecution. We have had troubles with one house next door to us and have had a few different neighbours (this house gets sold and rented alot) have given us trouble.

At present, we will not allow our children play with the girl next door (for very good reasons) and since that day the father has been a loose cannon.

Seriously worrying stuff, when you try to do the best for your family and you become a sign of contradiction to the world around you.

Reading from your new thread, I would not let my children play with this family - it is a terrible thing they have done and you can forgive but never trust again.

Peace and love to you all.
