I am a teacher at Binford Elementary. I work with a student who lives in this home. While over winter break, our school skills development instructor went into the home. This individual stated there is a dog with a "visibly broken leg." When our skills instructor requested information on the dog, the family changed the subject. In the home are two parents, three sons and one daughter. All three sons have autism that result in physically abusive explosions. I am the teacher of the oldest son who is unhealthily obsessed with his cat. He makes disturbing comments about the cat and students have said he has made sexual advances towards the animal. I have never heard anything directly from this student about the advances, but he does make comments that are concerning about his love for the cat. The skills instructor stated the house was very messy and had a terrible odor from the inside, possibly due to the animals inside the home. I am unsure as to how many pets there are.

There is a woman who walks her dog off-leash around Hidden Hills and Oakdale Square apartment complexes. This woman lives in Hidden Hills (Building "A", unit 1908 maybe) and walks her dog daily around 7:45am-9am then in the evening around 3pm-5pm. I know this because I often see her when going to/from work. Her dog has approached me multiple times and it doesn't seem friendly. Regardless, I'm not only afraid of dogs, I'm also allergic. I've asked the owner to get her dog when it gets close to me, but it's not well trained & she has to call it multiple times before it leaves me alone. I've suffered allergic reactions because of her dog. The woman looks to be in her 30s, brown hair, white, and might wear glasses. Myself and other residents have complained to Sarah, the Hidden Hills property manager, but she refuses to do anything about it. Walking a dog off-lease is against their policy and it's illegal unless the dog is in a dog park. I'm reporting this because I'm afraid to walk around my apartment complex because I know there could be an off-leash dog out there and it may or may not be aggressive. I would ask that you send someone to the Oakdale Square/Hidden Hills complex during the timeframes I listed to catch her in the act. I don't know if she needs to be informed of the law, fined, or have her dog taken away. This has been happening since i moved in and no one is doing anything about it. I need your help.

A very large diluted calico cat, Dawn, hangs around Cramer Circle in Batchelor Heights but belongs to an owner in The Highlands. I have communicated with the owner numerous times about keeping her cat off my property. The cat being here is problematic because it causes fights between my two indoor cats when they see her outside. Additionally, this cat comes around to the back where my cats are sometimes out on the screened-in patio and causes them to get scared and upset. I am unsure of the owner's name but Animal Control gave me her phone number in June 2022 as 812-361-6796. Upon first contact with this person, she stated they had not seen the cat (Dawn) in over 6 months. Since then, they picked her up in back of my condo but they continue to let her outside and she finds her way back. They don't come look for her until I contact them repeatedly but even then they don't make efforts to get her and keep her in their home. I feel that the cat is neglected and needs rehomed somewhere more appropriate for outdoor cats. I have photos of the cat but this report would not submit with the photo included.

On Sunday evening I caught some photos of a loose dog on Southdowns between Manor and Hawthorne. The dog is frequently out on its own and tends to stay within that block roughly. It lives in a red house on Southdowns. My main concern is that this Sunday I was on a walk and observed the dog almost get hit by two vehicles in the road, I had to re-route my walk with my dog because this dog was at-large with an unknown temperament, and the dog also went to the bathroom in the grass by the creek without being cleaned up by the owners (due to being oblivious to where their dog was at the time). Is there anything that can be done to try to keep the dog safe and other drivers and pedestrians safe too? Thanks.
