[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would you want if you were in that situation?  Have you talked to them?  Asked them what they need?

I don't see how you expect them to care about what you want if you don't care about what they want.  If you're approaching it from and adversarial standpoint you're just [b]using your position of power to prioritize your needs over theirs[/b].[/quote]

Sorry, but I think this is naive, bad advice.

This person is living in front of OP's home, which means this homeless person could be watching OP's kids and family's comings and goings. I would not interact in any way. You have no idea what kind of mental and other problems this person has.

OP, please keep us posted. I agree with calling the support agency, but I, personally, would also call the police. I would want a complaint on file about this in the unfortunate event that things escalate.[/quote]

So you're using this route. Got it.  Just know that you're an unkind person.  And if there's ever a conflict with someone in a higher position of power don't be shocked if they turn the tables on you.[/quote]

An "unkind" person?  Get off your high horse.  How about a safe, rational person who is putting her family's needs first?[/quote]

Again, don't be shocked when you get stepped on by the next person up on the ladder.[/quote]
