    Okay, here's the deal...before i got back in dumaguete one of my cottages was rented by an american tenant with a 4 yr old daughter ( he said its his deceased wife's daughter) and apparently the girl has some mental issues because all she does and scream and can't talk. This american ex-tenant said he is working on adopting her and going to take her back to america. Now here's the drama, he has been complaining on the worker's next door to my property because they're building an expat's house and he was very upset as he reckons theres no privacy and the whole time around he has been just angry and yelling to the point that my own caretaker refused to ever go near him because all he does is yell.

    He asked me to confront the next door workers to tell them to back off which i did to stop the dramas but to my shock horror what i found out left me in a bad position that i cant sleep at night.

    The workers said they didnt mean to look but unfortunately the way he carries on.... he yells and screams at the kid and they have caught him many times slapping her on the face and pinching her ears while forcely dragging her inside the house and they said that many neighbour will back up their statements because they have seen it happening and the girl squeals and screams in pain that its very hard not to notice and look.

    So i got back to him and told him the reason, he yelled at me on the phone and was screaming that it was an absolute lie so i demanded that he moved out because i am not gonna burn bridges with my neighbours and since i had it rented i've never had any problems with any of my previous tenants so this one is actually the first. Everyday he comes up with different dramas wanting this and that and his always angry (i really think he needs a trip to an anger management program)

    But as I told him what i found out, next day he messaged me that his moving out which of course i was very pleased because i couldnt put up with the shits anymore but it left me wondering if he is guilty?

    then here's the catch, he once said that the immigration refused to give him a visa for the kid because they asked him to get the mother to sign the paperwork for adoption and he told me she cant sign because shes dead but then we found out from a reliable source that she left him and thats why he is furious and taking the kid as a payback because he lost most of his properties to her.

    I'm left at night thinking if i should just let go or is it best to report it? as a mother, i know when i have to chastise my son and my limits but its very different with this girl because she cant speak and im scared that if this foreigner is doing something to her, she wont be able to defend herself. no one else can.

    i believe too that he moved to somewhere remote or secluded, didnt even say a word that his going on that day.

    BTW... i believe his an alcoholic too.

    please advice.

    You should call DSWD immediately, this guy will be in more trouble than he knows. They will need to know where he is though...

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION : I DONT KNOW WHERE HE MOVED. He didn't even say when his moving out on exactly what date, he just left without even saying goodbye although he said he will leave before the month ends but it just made me wonder that a couple days ago i have been forcing him to move out but since i brought in the issue about how he treated his daughter then he couldnt leave there quick enough! i just feel like something is wrong although i honestly dont want to get involved but i am having troubles sleeping at night.

    but i dont know where his going Larry, didnt even left a note. he just disappeared! couple days ago he strongly refused to leave but since the issue has been brought in, all of a sudden after he contronted the workers and i refused to dob anyone in, incase they loose theyre job but even the neighbours said the same thing so it was his word against theirs then i just got a message from him saying his moving out then the next day he did, couldnt get out of my place quick enough!

    forgot to mention: my cottages are glass doors ( medium tint) and before he agreed to rent he already knew that its always been like that after he moved in, he has been forcing me to tint it and complained that he hates the neighbours peeking in his windows but the workers said they werent they only look to check on the girl because as they were working on the roof, its very hard not to notice since she plays at the yard and here he is yelling and screaming and he even told everyone that its just normal for him to yells. i dont think anyone in their right mind will consider yelling as a normal behaviour. he yells at everyone and hates absolutely everyone! i will see what i can do.i only got his full name other than that, i dont know where he is.

    Give his name to the cops, let them handle it. He will have to show up at immigration at some point.

    Nice,

    If you have any financial data from him: bank checks, credit check, financial references, turn those over to the police. It his hard to hide when you have a financial trail. Hopefully he is just a basic *sshole, but he could be something a lot worse.

    what became of the deposit?

    Curious what became of the deposit; did this guy have a written contract? There are lots of lousy parents,does not necessarily make him a child abuser.

    he didnt leave any deposit only a month in advance that covered his rent for the month then with the written contract he signed himself up for 6 months but because i couldnt put up with his shits and screaming everyday on the phone about how upset he is with the workers next door then i had to get rid of him.

    thats what ive been thinking too but when i had a good talk to him about what the workers said he never said anything of how he loved his daughter all he was worried about is the dswd going to get involved and theyre gonna stop him from taking the girl..next day he was just gone!
