So my creepy neighbor across the street just repeatedly flipped off my daughter and our nanny, and then repeatedly told my wife "I don't like your race" when she confronted him about it.

WHAT THE FUCK? What do we do?
Here's the video of my wife asking him to not harass our 2 year old daughter, only for him to tell her "I don't like your race".

My wife is a strong woman and I love her so much.
Aaaaaaand just found out my uncle is in the hospital with Covid. It's like the fucking headline news just landed on our doorstep today.
I set up a camera and our neighbor was out on the street at 3AM shining a flashlight on my house for 15 minutes. He's also just generally pacing, talking to himself, and making a bunch of erratic hand motions. He clearly is mentally ill but it's tough to know if he's a threat.
This behavior isn't new and he's often perched out on his porch at all hours of the night. But it's unsettling to see his strange behavior on camera that goes on for hours and hours.
My neighbor got completely naked and was mooning our house and making a bunch of threatening gestures towards our house. Our neighbors called the police. My family left for my sister's house, and we are safe. I am shaking and in a state of shock right now.
Our other neighbor called the mental health hotline and they're basically saying they can't do much of anything unless he's being suicidal/homicidal.
So things have escalated with our unstable neighbor and unfortunately it's no longer safe for my family to live in our house. We need to figure out living arrangements for the next stretch of time until we figure out our next move. Looking for Pittsburgh rental recommendations.
This is the most fucked up content management exercise I've ever had to do.
The guy is clearly in a manic state, and it's just really unfortunate that my family is his fixation and he's directing his ire in our direction. Officers, mental health professionals, and neighbors are all involved but nothing's really officially happening.
Despite not physically being at my house, my amygdala is in full effect and my body has been in fight or flight mode for days now.
It took a while to talk to a sympathetic police officer, but there's now a case and a plan underway. Thanks all for the support; hoping for the best.
It's been over a week and really no change. My neighbor called 911 yesterday when she heard him yelling "You're all fucking dead. I'm going to burn everything down" and the cops casually talked with him and left. No idea on the status of any investigation (or if it's happening)
And in other news, my grandpa is being moved into hospice.

The hits keep coming.
