What can I do about the bullying and harassment of the elderly and handicapped residents at my condo complex?
I live in down on parkside drive where I’ve been witnessing ongoing bullying and harassment directed toward some of the elderly and handicapped residents. This includes verbal abuse, intimidation, and in some cases, purposeful exclusion or mocking behavior. It’s incredibly upsetting, and I’m not sure what steps I can take to help stop this.
I've considered reporting it to the condo board, but I’m worried it won’t be taken seriously or might cause retaliation. I want to do something to protect these vulnerable members of our community, but I also want to make sure I approach it the right way.
Has anyone dealt with something similar? What are my options—legally or through advocacy—to make sure this kind of behavior is addressed?
Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.
