First I would call CPS if a child under 18 isn't being supervised. Then I would install install cameras on your property should this go to court. This to protect yourself.

Something isn't right here with them...let the cops or CPS figure this out. Did you speak with police? What did they say?

You think a 17 year old who gets dressed without bothering to pull down the shade is a "child" who "isn't being supervised"? What? This isn't a baby outside crawling toward the street. Or a 5 yr old left home all night alone.

This young woman knows exactly what she is doing.

Clearly she's not being watched if she's acting a fool in front of her windows naked regularly. I would call CPS. Let them deal with it. No need to get into it with the neighbors directly they lost that opportunity when they sent the lawyer in.

There is a dude in NOVA with a daughter that likes to undress in public and now they are trying to come after us, for.... something.

I'm guessing he wants to sue us for seeing his daughter nude but she does this on purpose.

I want to get ahead of his game before he turns psycho. I'm going to install a ring camera. Honestly I wonder if I should call the cops.

For what?

Call the cops OP.

PP obviously for advice on the situation. They or CPS can tell the neighbors their daughter is being nasty on purpose in the windows.

She's seventeen. Why would she be "watched" while getting dressed? If her parents were "watching" as she dressed, y'all would be going on about how the parents need to be reported to CPS.

10000% I agree. And her parents most know too because of the letter, but since some of you don't belive that then let CPS or the COPS inform the neighbor about their naked, underage daughter doing window "shows".

Oh my goodness. What advice do you think the police are going to give? What can they say besides "Don't look in the window at the naked girl."

And getting dressed isn't "being nasty on purpose." It isn't even "being nasty." Ya'll are crazy.

This is a sane response to sane people. Unfortunately, the new neighbor already took the nuclear approach with the (fake) attorney letter via tracked mail. Given their apparent instability, it's best to keep all further interactions documented in a way you'd want to read aloud in court.

I’m in a very wealthy Arlington neighborhood and all of the new builds are basically huge glass windows in front —at night with lights on (and even in day) you literally see everything—not even wanting to or trying.

The lots are close to the street, busy sidewalks. One family literally is practically eating breakfast on the sidewalk - about 4 feet in and total glass front windows.

One house - if you need to run downstairs in your underwear to get something the whole neighborhood gets a show.

Just terrible, terrible design choices. Those type of homes belong on wooded lots - not urban busy walkable neighborhoods on postage stamp size lots.

I pull my shades, lower my blinds as soon as it’s dark. When my son was little I told him not to undress in front of his bedroom window because we had a really creepy old guy across the street and I saw at night when you pulled into our driveway you could see everything in the room. I make sure not to be in front of my own bedroom window with all the construction. And street work constantly going on.

Who wouldn’t correct their own daughter’s behavior—hey honey pull down your shades- or don’t undress right in front of the window. Wtf?

Please don't call CPS and take valuable time away from people who actually need help.

It's probably a fake letter because lawyers don't press criminal charges.

This seems likely. An actual attorney would be easy to look up on your bar's website. If you do find something, I agree that writing back requesting specific citations is fair. If you don't, write back that you will consider further communications harassment and cc the neighbors so they're officially notified. Then consider filing a peace order to keep your crazy neighbors away from you if they don't take the hint. Definitely get a doorbell cam in case they come a knockin', and do NOT record the child's window (agree with the pp that says the kiddie pron angle isn't great for your case). Call the non-emergency police line and have them come out and discuss the matter with you. They will also likely be able to tell the neighbors that you don't want communication and they should leave you alone. Get a copy of the incident report number so you have another paper trail showing you drew the boundary (because people like this tend to cross them).

I'd also out them on nextdoor, especially if that atty letter turns out to be fake, but I'm petty.

I think all of this is good advice except do not post on NextDoor or Facebook.
1. Determine if it's a real lawyer
2. Contact the non-emergency police line to ask if there is anything you can do
3. If you notice a camera on their house facing outwards, you can send them a similar letter

Yes, the letter is ridiculous. And they wouldn't get anywhere with this. But stop staring at the teenager undressing. We know you are, because you are admitting it.

Really. I'm not going to move my couch to face away from the window where it has ALWAYS BEEN just because some teenager decides she likes showing off her body.
