A year or three ago we had new neighbours move in opposite us . They kept coming over and asking my (then) 5 yr old lad to go with them for a walk in the woods with his puppy . This caused concerns . I rang the police , and within 20 mins we had two family liaison officers at our door . They could not tell us if there was anything to be concerned about , but they did say that they WOULD NOT say there was NOT a problem .
I had a word with the neighbours , and we have seen and heard very little from them until recent weeks . They have now started approaching my 5 yr old daughter and have been asking her if she wants to have a sleep-over at their house .
My gut feeling is that I should just burn them in their sleep . My sensible side tells me that I should use Sarah's Law and request information from the local police station . BUT .. I have been informed that Sarah's Law is a myth as it has not been passed by parliament .
Any advice as to what action I can (legally) take would be very much appreciated .

Am actually hoping Minty will reply to this post . She seems to have done her research , and be rather well informed and level-headed regarding most subjects .

No 'BURN THE PAEDOS' responses please .

If it was me I would have gone round and done them both in, you can't take chances with paedos.

Its like Iraq and the WMDs thing, I know there weren't any, but just ask yourself, what if there were? You can't take chances.

Everyone is a suspect. Guilty until proven innocent.

I would say you have to be firm, straightforward and honest with the neighbours and say if you even get a sniff of something dodgy again you'll go to the police.

My family has had neighbour trouble(I'm 17 and still at home) and we've had things thrown over our driveway weekly and a hammer put through my dad's car window, obviously we can't prove anything but it happened within a couple of days of an argument with them.

if you think these neighbours are the type to do this sort of thing then speak to your local copper/PCSO, just so they know that if anything goes on they know who to speak to, also recommend getting some cctv installed

I'm not sure how much use some CCTV would be to be honest, because it wouldnt be able to look onto next door's property anyway.

it's a deterrent more than anything to stop any damage to your own home
