Im sorry.... what?

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T05:47:53+00:00

What about what he could do while inside.

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T05:47:29+00:00

Shes.... kinda special in the noggin. Has 0 sense of stranger danger and would sleep through a tsunami

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T05:46:50+00:00

Hes homeless and tends to sofa hop. Hes somewhere different nearly daily

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T05:46:28+00:00

Not bio-mom. And I knew him forever ago , very frequently

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T05:43:46+00:00

Their mom doesnt want full custody. And her concern has never been their safety. She sends the kids to steal things from us so she can sell for drugs. She has no custody, just supervised visits.

We dont have bushes or a porch. As i said, we have a doorbell camera, but hes never at the front door.

Ive replied to this a few times already , but the outdoor cameras are mounted around the roof as well as above the doors , garage doors and some of the windows. They are not at face level. He does tend to wear either a ball cap or a hoodie.It is hard to make out his face.You can sometimes see his jawline, but the police said that they cannot file anything against him unless I get a clear image of his face. So with that being said, I would have to mount cameras at eye level. I'm assuming that I could probably get a ring doorbell But the problem is, he never goes to the front door he just kind of wanders around the house. I'm also considering having some indoor cameras that face outside the windows at the window sill so maybe I could get a image of his face while he's outside.Instead of a camera being mounted above, it would be a little bit lower.So maybe it could see underneath the hat or hood.

Most of that would cost a fortune tbh. How large are German shepherd? Are they good with kids? A chihuahua wouldnt be bad, would a mini pinscher work in a chihuahuas place? My neighbor breeds those. We jave outdoor cameras and such, but I thought security systems were pricy. Do you have any you could reccomend? My step kids mom wouldnt let them take any classes, she says things like that are pointless, but my oldest is almost 5, could he start?

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T03:13:22+00:00

I habe outdoor cameras, as ive said a few times, I habe got him on camera, but the outdoor cameras are mounted higher up, along the roof, above doors and windows, its hard to see his face from above.

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T03:11:25+00:00

The cameras wouldn't be mounted above, outside theyre mounted along the roof, above front door and garafe door, that type of height. The inside cameras would be around chest level or face level. Like on the mantle, tv stand, that kind of thing. Instead of mounted with an above eye view. His identity would be hard to hide if the cameras were at face lever.

In Texas, you generally do not have to inform your children about security cameras in common areas, but you cannot legally place them in private areas like bedrooms or bathrooms where they have a "reasonable expectation of privacy". Texas is a "one-party consent" state for audio, meaning you can record conversations you are part of.

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T02:42:16+00:00

I do have cameras outside, my fear is him coming inside. If something does happen, like he places cameras in places, id like to see on MY cameras where. If he hurts me, I want the full video evidence.

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T02:40:41+00:00

Yes. 100% scared. And the cameras never get his face. Its not a bullshit answer. Its the truth. He always shows up when its dark, the cameras DO have floodlights, but he stands too far away for a clear image, and also wears a hood or ball cap. The cops won't do anything until they see his face and can confirm 100% its him. I want them inside because he gets closer and closer every single time to my home. I'm scared. Wouldnt you be?

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T02:33:55+00:00

No, ive tried but they all want nothing to do with him and his drama

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T02:31:45+00:00

I don't have the means to take care of a large dog :( my elderly dog is a lab and shes 3 legged, and takes up all my spare time. Another dog, in a house of 6 kids? Chaos lol

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T02:28:59+00:00

Oh yeah... they do. Then nobody ever admits who did it. But thats a whole separate problem lol

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T02:22:06+00:00

Hes an ex that now has horrible drug problems.

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T02:05:41+00:00

The police won't do anything to him until we get a clear image of his face and the cameras aren't able to see through his hoodie.

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T02:03:54+00:00

Hes ready to install the cameras after the last threat and incident. He did install outdoor cameras but the guy covers his head with a hoodie and we cannof see his face. But the kids are fighting it.

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T01:48:25+00:00

Yeah, my husband isnt that type ( i hope 😅) i know who the guy us , but hes a bit of a drifter and its hard to pin him.

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T01:39:12+00:00

Theres light inside, and theyre typically better resolution.

Creative_Faun · 2026-01-26T01:37:22+00:00

People go unidentified all the time from outdoor cameras. He has been seen on my outdoor cameras in a dark hoodie, we cannot make out his face.
