After months of being harassed, a family in Riverview, N.B. took matters into their own hands on the weekend to catch the people behind the tormenting.
Amanda Gilbert recorded the latest incident Saturday night in an attempt to protect her family from increasing harassment from a group of neighbourhood teens.
Gilbert says three teens poured gasoline on a cardboard box and she captured a video of the trio setting the box on fire and then throwing it at her home.
The video is now in the hands of the RCMP.
"I don't sleep," she says. "I haven't had a decent night's sleep in months."
Gilbert says the harassment started about six months ago when the teens were hanging out in the woods across the street from her home.
She says the group was throwing garbage into the street and her boyfriend went out to clean it up.
"It started with egging him, egging my home, throwing crab apples at the truck," she says. "They circled us at the corner store, threw apples and broke our windshield."
Gilbert says she can't even walk to the store with her children without being verbally assaulted.
"They call me names, make comments about body parts," she says. "It makes my kids question everything. They don't understand what this means."
Gilbert says she has compiled a list of 25 names of people she feels are involved and submitted it to the police. She also handed over the video, but so far she has had no relief.
"I can't press charges, can't get a peace bond, can't get a curfew in effect."
The RCMP say they are trying to enhance the video to help identify the three people involved with the incident Saturday night.
Gilbert says that would be one step toward providing her family with some peace of mind.
