A family has suffered two years of abuse at the hands of a "neighbour from hell" who filmed their kids, spat at them, hurled abuse and even threw hot tea over their grandmother.
Teacher Mark Duckworth, 42, said Loretta Diplacido, 54, turned on his family after they politely refused to let her grandson use the trampoline in their garden. Mark and his wife Sarah claim it sparked years of abuse, with Diplacido filming their kids in the garden and threatening to report them to social services.
The family claim she blocked their car in with hers, swore at them, threatened to attack them and spat at them in their own driveway.
