One of the cameras captures a view of the driveway and street in front of our house, as well as a partial view of my neighbor's drive- way. My neighbor is a single mom with a teen- age son. One day my husband was viewing the activity on the cam- era, when we noticed the same car parking in front of our house almost every day, and my neigh- bor's son getting into the car, sitting there for a few minutes and then getting out and going back into the house. We assumed that there was probably something shady going on, but de- cided it was really none of our business. Recently my neigh- bor and I were casually chatting, and she com- mented that she was having problems with her son. She said she was worried about him having a problem with prescription drugs. I did not say anything about the camera footage. My husband thinks we should stay out of it, and that the neighbors are due their privacy. The cameras were meant for security, not spying. I'm of the mind that his mother should know everything we've seen, so she can decide what is best for her son. What do I do? —NotNosyNeighbor DEAR NEIGHBOR » You have seen something that really doesn't have anything to do with you, but it does concern your neighbor. I infer that you would not have brought this up until she independently introduced the topic when she told you about her own suspicions. You could have witnessed this behav- ior by looking out your window, versus viewing security footage, and so you should tell this mother what you have seen. It is not necessary to tell her you have a record of this activity on camera (it could compromise your own security to some extent if others know you have cameras). Just tell her, "You brought up your concern, and I want you to know that I've noticed a car stopping out front every day. Your son gets in for a few minutes, and then goes back into the hou se." This concerned mother can put two and two together and draw her own conclusions. Based on what you tell her, she can choose to act or do nothing. DEAR AMY » "Upset Wife" described how her husband insisted on get- ting a large breed dog to replace a previous dog, which bit him, resulting in the dog being "put down." Amy, in your answer you described this as "having the dog killed." Thank you. These euphe- misms don't describe the reality. — Animal Lover DEAR ANIMAL LOVER » I grew up on a farm, where certain realities were inescapable.
