[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 289268, member: 4264"] Hi again everyone. I completely understand how vigilant we have to be. That part does indeed hoover. I want this DONE but I know it is coming so we can hang in there a couple of days. We're doing all we've done to be inside and whatnot as we've done for 2 weeks now. No big dog, sadly no dog at all anymore :( :( But we've got a few things in place inside that make us feel better. Happy fact too is that all 3 bedrooms have locks inside the doors. easy child is still across the country, happy with her father and step mom on vacation and clueless to the drama playing out in her home. She's 10. I plan to keep it this way for her. difficult child is aware of most stuff, kind of hard with him at 16 to not answer his questions. He's a smart kid and listens and knows why we tell him stuff about what to do if XXX happens etc. We have a non cordless phone now installed in our bedroom. It is most likely place any or all of us would end up in the house. We have a cordless phone in the living room but can keep the phone with us and have. Funny, I am in that habit anyhow. I keep it on me always and charge it at night as normal habit. A good habit it turns out!! I have loaded my pre paid cell phone that I never really use, with minutes for difficult child to put into his pocket. He's been told not to use the minutes unless calling for help. I do not plan to be in the building when the police come to pick him up once we get the Form 2 filed. My superintendent lives across the street from me. We will be locking the house and stay there with her until its taken care of. We can see from her patio doors anyhow but nobody can see IN. Its not here, but its close enough to see whats going on. About the neighbours. I've ranted a few times to S/O about how people all knew bits of the puzzle of this guy and never talked before all of this. But then I realized, heck, WE were in the same position. We had insight that others didn't, but it didn't seem relevant without the OTHER pieces that the rest of the street had. If that makes sense.
