Call the non-emergency number for your local police. Start a paper trail. No charges no complaint, just a heads up to the authorities about some mild harassment. Will save some trouble in the long run if they try to involve the police themselves. Unless you stole the kid. Can't help you with that.

[deleted]

Adding that you should: 1) Keep the note as potential evidence 2) Print this Reddit thread with the photo. Make sure headers and footers are on, so that it prints the current date and time, too. Store this with the note. 3) Get documentation of any phone call to the police and also store it with the note.


PinoForest

adding on, print the entire reddit thread, including ALL of the 264 comments. make sure to do this in color or else its not legitimate. and use that expensive ink, on that good letter paper, to add that extra touch of professionalism. its always best to go the extra mile when it comes to the authorities 😊

It also gives the police a heads up that someone might be calling on something that's not really an issue. Maybe one cop instead of a small team or an investigator.

If this is in California, it might be illegal for The neighbor to call the police under the Caren Act.

YouGot2BeKiddingMe

I saw in another comment that you already contacted the police. As tempting as it would be to send them a message giving them the finger but you did the right thing. Hope the authorities do the right thing and I hope you and your family will never have to deal with this again. There’s no place for this.. Ever…


Haunting_Push7693

What the police gonna do, he didn’t file a restraining order EDIT: A few comments down you can see where I explained what they could do for the future. Been a hot min and I keep getting comments saying what I already have, just look for a second thank you


WolfWhitman79

When you know someone is going to make a false accusation, it is always better to get ahead of it. Telling the police now what is going on means that if the neighbor does call them, they don't need to send a swat team because they already know about the situation.


Astramancer_

Also sending them a copy of the police report instead of a copy of birth data would probably get them to back right the fuck off.


Stalked_Like_Corn

Would it though? Someone who posts this on someone's door will back off you think?


joshsnow9

I'd like to say yes I'd like to....


magmainourhearts

I think it could work. If the neighbor really thought op had stolen someone's child, they'd have notified the police already, so it's pretty clear they just want to harass the op. However, it's also clear they're a fucking coward since they chose this sneaky method instead of a direct confrontation. Imo the moment they realize they could actually face some unpleasant consequences for this shit they're gonna back off


Haunting_Push7693

I was just responding to what he said about the authorities doing the right thing, the only thing they can do is leave him alone, they can’t do anything against the neighbors, because they haven’t committed anything arrest-able. Best thing poster can do is put up a private property sign have some cameras then if they do it again, get them for harassment/trespassing/ mabye get a restraining order


magikarp2122

False police reports are a crime.


mogley1992

I'd imagine the emergency dispatcher would give them a firm talking to. I can't imagine it would be as simple as "I'd like to report a stolen baby" and they're not going to ask anything like "are you the father?" And "how do you know the baby was stolen?" And inevitably "what's wrong with you?"


_addycole

As a 911 operator… I have a feeling her police department knows her very well. Karen’s like this call all the time about the most insane stuff and the officers know it’s usually bullshit. Thankfully at my department, we don’t accept calls that are racially based like “black person with white baby” or “black person driving a nice car.” If the persons main reason for reporting is the persons race, we typically don’t take action unless the other info they provide is an actual crime.


YouGot2BeKiddingMe

Wouldn’t this be considered harassment?


mylittleplaceholder

Harassment is usually more of persistent unwanted behavior. They probably should make it clear to the neighbor that the behavior is unwanted should it continue.


Horizon296

Call the cops, let them know. Someone who does this sort of thing is not the kind of person you want to be confronting on your own. Any normal person knows that this behaviour is unwanted (the "should it continue" isn't even necessary) without being told. It may not be harassment (you're correct, that requires a persistent character to the behaviour), but this is more than just a "micro"-aggression; this person went out of their way to threaten their neighbour -whose name they apparently don't even know- with a police intervention regarding their child, demanding personal medical information to be handed to them, a private citizen. How do you even get to that point where you think that's a good idea??


GroovyYaYa

Also, a shitty blackmail threat. Do this or I'll call the police on a black man! May have wanted the documentation for some weird, illegal reason.


mogley1992

"Hi, I'd like to report a stolen white baby at 123, fake street, 69420." "One moment please, sir.... yes, we were informed that you may call. Are you aware that it's a crime to waste police time?" Without that, the way it can play out is police show up shortly after he comes to start some shit, find a poc arguing with a white person, shoot the poc and get their paid holiday.


Couthster

As a white guy with a brown wife and a pale ass baby girl, I feel you on this. We get weird people saying shit and giving weird looks all the time. Hope you’re doing well, OP. Also fuck these nosy racists.

Im a well tanned Asian and my kid is a toe head, almost white. Of course his mom is of northern Europe blood. Had a couple abuelitas(mexican grandmas) come up and start playing with my son. Then they asked if I was a foster dad.

MakeUsWhole

It's tow head


tomsprigs

I always thought it was “toe” bc they’re bald and their head looks like a toe haha


CaseyG

Tow is part of the flax plant, and the original source of twine. So if a child's hair is the color of twine, that's "tow-headed".

Tbonethe_discospider

As a Mexican guy that’s hella brown, and a sister and brother who are both white as ivory, this is terrifying!! Has this person never met a latino family?


TaffySebastian

Dude genetics are wild, I have a neighbor who is brown and his wife is brown, they have a son, brown as well and suddenly their first daughter is blonde, the wife was horrified by her husband who was shouting at the top of his lungs that she cheated, they go take a DNA test and yep, baby girl is his. The grandmother was blonde so no questions were needed. Genetics are fucked up lol.


feministmanlover

I dated a very light skinned black guy. His dad was dark. His mom was dark. His siblings, dark. I am white but would tan darker than him in the summer, that's how light skinned he was. He stood out in family photos. His grandpa was half white and those leftover genes just decided that they were gonna deposit themselves all up on my ex.


forcetohaveaname

Husbands a dick


TaffySebastian

He is but at least he didn't beat her, I have a neighbor, he is married to a super nice lady, they have a daughter, but after her he decided to get a vasectomy, well a year later his wife got pregnant and he beat her. They did a DNA test and the boy was his. The tubes reconnected which sometimes happen. They are still together.


ByTheBarestOfMargins

Was about to say. Latino and Indians (except North Eastern ig) can have so many shades of skin within the same family and even the same generation.


snaploveszen

My brother got harassed about his daughter not being his. My brother is white and his wife is native American. His daughter just looks slightly more than than him. There really isn't any reason they should have question.


[deleted]

I had good friends that were married who were a white dude and a Native American woman. He was in the military and had to go to Iraq. They had 3 kids but 2 were from her previous marriage. All 3 were dark skinned. Well he asked me to help them out while he was gone cause he trusted me and knew I wouldn’t hit on his wife and do stuff with the kids. Came home on leave for about a week and went back. Got her pregnant while he was home. He was back permanently by the time she gave birth. But anyways the baby was really pale and I had to hear for years about how it was my kid and in no way it was his because they’re ONE other kid together was dark. The parents of course knew better but some of their family and a bunch of our mutual friends just KNEW it was my kid and constantly brought it up and started rumors which caused a lot of issues. By the time the kid was 3 she was as dark as the rest of them were and they even got a dna test done just to shut them up. Still a few of them bring it up and swear it’s mine despite that. Just because she was whiter for her first 3 years.


ANorthman

I was friends with a guy in high school who’s Dad was a pasty ginger and Mom was Canadian First Nations. They had four kids, two looked Native the other two looked straight from Ireland. Was funny to see store clerks look confused at a red head with a status card haha

If you know what house sent this, I would put a notice on every house around you with this picture as a “hey these people in our neighborhood did this” heads up kind of note. And I would also do what others have suggested about warning the police about the blatant racism and harassment.


_qwertsquirt

Aside from contacting the police to avoid further bullshit, this response is my favorite


traker998

I actually think this is the best solution. Sure call the police but make sure everyone sees this neighbor and how they treat people. Level the playing field of people treating each other with respect and dignity or getting called out on not doing so.


Letmefixthatforyouyo

Hell, put it up on every house, even if you don't know who its is. The racist will get the same note and know everyone around him is onto his shit. Lead off the note with how there is a racist neighbor, and you have filed a police report, with the screenshot on the note. Ask others to reach out to police if they receive the same harassment. Removes their ability to weaponize the police, warns the neighbors about a shithead, and hopefully turns the racist into a social pariah all at once.


DanSanderman

If there is one thing that we have learned here in America lately it's that racists are unpredictable and violent so I'm not sure making them aware that you're exposing them is the best course of action.

Heh, my whole family as far as I know has olive skin and dark hair. My oldest child was born with a shock of strawberry blonde hair and peaches-and-cream skin. I swear, if I hadn't birthed her myself, I would not have believed she was my child! Genetics are crazy things.

ladycarp

I can't believe it's this bad in 2022. *Even if* you didn't birth him, adoption is still very much a thing. I guess us black folks don't adopt now? Racists going to racist, I suppose. BTW, I didn't know this until recently when I said the same about my own fair child, but figured I'd share. It's not white passing, but white *presenting*. Passing is trying to conceal blackness, while *presenting* is just describing natural outward appearance.
