Trigger Warning: Miscarriage and Assult 😢😭

This happened over two years ago... And I figured I'd get this off my chest. I'm also not sure where to post this...

My neighbors consist of 4 people. One female adult who is a mom and druggie, and 3 boys (12, 13 and 17) she gave birth to. Now let me tell you, my neighbors are horrible neighbors. The mom uses her house like a drive in for drugs. Literally she has a window that's open that she sells her drugs out of. In order to get her drugs, she brings home random men at all hours of the day and I'm pretty sure you know what she does for them...

My husband and I had building that was his woodworking workshop. We kept his tools bolted to the floor and locked up. The small stuff (wrenches and screws and nails etc.) Was just on the table. One morning on my husband's way to work, he noticed that the front door of the building was broken into. There were a bunch of tools missing like the small ones. The tool box was unfortunately dented pretty badly and unuseable. After that, we installed cameras (hidden and recording audio as well) and a security system with sirens. At first we thought it was one of the druggies that comes by to have sex with her or to get their fix, but it was her kids.

I was 5 months pregnant when the alarm went off and I went outside with my gun to see who or what triggered the alarm. I caught the 12 and 13 year old trying to break into our workshop again. I asked them what they were doing and they were trying to give some excuse that there was a man who was trying to break in and they were trying to stop him. I called the cops on them since it wasn't the first time and cops told me to call again. We reviewed the security footage and sure enough it was the kids breaking in. The 13 year old was talking to the 12 year old saying it was so easy to break into our building again (confession) and that he can't wait to try to break into the power tool box. The police went to their house and had a talk with them. I didn't press charges because I know the horrible saying boys will be boys, but it's true since they have no father figure and a rough upbringing. I thought I'd let them off easy. I'm 5'9 and pretty small when not pregnant, so it's pretty obvious I was pregnant. This made my neighbors super salty about it that the police were involved and now they hated us and "had beef" with us... Okay... They constantly harassed me after that...

A few months goes by and I'm now 7 months exactly pregnant. We decided to turn the workshop into a living space as we live half a mile from the college and we wanted to rent our actual house out and live in the workshop. The house is 3 bedrooms 2.5 bathrooms so it's a way for us to make extra money legally and the workshop is big enough as a living space to fit 3 people comfortably with a huge bathroom. So since we decided to turn it into our living space on our property, we decided the first thing we were going to do is install a backup generator which was a great investment and idea. My husband left his air compressor in the building with staple gun and power tools. The door was locked and the alarm was set. The alarm goes off and this was during a power outage. So again I grab my gun, and freak out trying to figure out why the alarm went off again and cops were dispatched. This time, it's the 12 year old. Once he realizes he's been caught again, he runs up to me, punches me as hard as he can in the stomach and I'm short winded crying from so much pain. Cops show up to me on the ground bleeding from my legs almost passed out from pain with my gun missing. I was rushed to the hospital where I had to deliver my dead baby and my husband rushed to the ER. Not only was I grieving for my dead child, my stomach was in so much pain.

This time I pressed charges on the kid and the neighbor had her kids taken away and was sent to prison for selling drugs and possession of drugs and violating her parole for (you guessed it...) drugs... The 12 year old decided that it was a smart idea to take my gun which was found in his room. The last two kids she had (12 and 13) weren't very smart... But their 17 year old brother was. He got out of that situation, came over to my house later to apologise for what his family did and we are now close. He never realized how bad his brothers were and that they weren't doing well in that environment. I don't hold it against him that all this happened to me, but I'll never forgive his family.

When the 12 year old was questioned and asked why he hit me, he said and I quote: "I won't be the youngest around here and I won't get as much attention as a baby would get."

That broke my already broken heart, but he was put in a juvenile detention center for a long time for assult, theft, possession of stolen property, trespassing after being warned, and harassment.

TL;DR: Neighbor mom went to prison, had her fatherless kids taken away from her, and her youngest son was put away in juvie for attempting to break into my building and caused me to have a miscarriage by assaulting me by punching me in stomach...
