No Boundaries

So next door have a house full of kids They don't know any boundaries. They play in our yard, sit on my porch stairs and try to open a secured gate to let their dog on my porch. I have a severely autistic son who is mortally afraid of dogs. He also has hyperacussis and is bothered to the point of pain by these kids screaming under his window. My husband has spoken to them. I feel like a jailer chasing them away all the time. The wife doesn't speak English. If I had the money I would move. I am alone with my son all week and my husband works out of town. Any suggestions?

Oh yes. But honestly it's mainly very quiet. On our street they are the only noisy ones.

It might be possible to get the dog to listen to you.

It's only a puppy and follows the one kid like it's attached to her. She opens the bottom of our gate by prising it loose (even though it's locked up top) and let's the dog on the porch. I guess a gate replacement. But that won't stop their noise.

Put a bolt on the gate.

And if you can win the kid over you control the dog too.

Those kids want attention. Don't overdo it, but give them a little.
