    I only came across this thread now, my advice is to purchase a micro SD HD cam and place it in an area of the garden where your neighbour would more than likely approach your son again. Next time he bully's your son make sure it's recorded and post the footage on UTube for the whole world to see. He may then get a visit.

    It looks positive - my neighbour left me a voicemail. I just picked it up. He's meeting me tomorrow with my son to apologise to him. I think that's a great result.

    Thanks again for all the feedback.

    Good job, nicely done.

    edit> I had done a much longer response. It was actually quite good but someone like yourself might have considered it abusive. As they say, attack the post, and not the poster.

    So I will say simply that this is without exception the stupidest, weirdest, most inappropriate and quite frankly nastiest idea in the universe possible, including all past and present ideas and those ideas which have yet to occur in this or any other dimension whether had by humans or life forms from another planet and whether the idea of those ideas itself has yet to occur or not.

    That is all.

    If it was in the UK or the States it would be a visit from a social welfare officer. If this person was abusive to his neighbours kids how much abusive could he to his own.

    BTW this is a good micro SD camera that is also sound activated with a two hour battery / 4 hour SD capacity.

    This is going way OT. The neighbour apologised and asked for my sons forgiveness - which he got. Surveillance was never considered!

    OP, you sound like the local neighborhood busy body, who overreacts to even the most mundane of events. Contemplating calling the Gardai to make a complaint about a verbal rebuke which your neighbor gave to your son is beyond ludicrous. Your life needs a severe wake-up call to reality if this sort of frivolity worries you.
    No he's not. People have literally dropped dead from being shouted at.

    Tell the guards and I would be contacting my solicitor.
    You and your son might be entitled to some form of compensation from the said git if it resulted in any form of phychologial trauma which is likely if he has aspergers.
    Squaring up to a 9 yo like that is beyond being a d!ckhead.
    If he has accused him of something and other people witnessed this, then he might also be liable for defamation.
    Seriously, this guy is a total prick and deserves to be "done" in any way possible. I feel sorry for his family if hes such a contrary geezer

    If the neighbour apologised the that should be the end of it, we all have bad days . But I would have made it clear to him that if he shouted at one of my children again then I would be doing some shouting at him .

    Reading some of the replies here it's no wonder we have out of control kids with no respect for anyone.

    The OP's neighbour was in the wrong and has done the right thing and apologised, but any adult shouting at or chastising a child is not automatically wrong.

    A bit more 'village parenting' is what we need and less of the 'it's nothing to do with me' and 'my Johnny/Janey is perfect and never does anything wrong'.

    Kids are tremendously precious and delicate though, aren't they? And my ones are the best etc.
