[blparent] [Bulk] Re: Blind Parents Meeting

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IS)]

My husband and I were talking about this last night. He had a couple
suggestions and thoughts which I'll pass on. 
1. This woman threatened you which is probably illegal. (note, he is not
a lawyer). 
2. Her threats are keeping you from using a service provided by the
condo a service that you are expected to pay for. 
3. Consider talking to the condo board (which probably won't work as
those boards seem to do nothing but collect money) and/or a lawyer. 
4. The woman made a threat and referred to what is generally a protected
class, i.e. disability, race sexual orientation, religion) and that type
of speech (might even be considered hate speech) is generally taken a
lot more seriously then "Your car is parked in the wrong place" type of
neighbor contact. Husband suggests you talk with a lawyer or even a
police officer if you know one and basically let her know her comments
were out of line.

Hi,

Tell her go ahead and call them if she wants.  You're not doing anything
wrong by taking Sara anywhere you think she's safe, and she's just a
nosey busybody who should mind her own business.
