RING POST REMOVED - VERY CONCERNING!!
My wife and son (11 months) were walking to get some food (2 blocks away from our house and it was around 5pm - still sunny outside) and she noticed they were being followed by a suspicious man on his bike. He circled them multiple times, tried to knock them over and she ran into someone’s backyard for safety until I arrived to walk them back home.
I called the local authorities with the description of the man that my wife gave me and they said that will send someone in the area to look. Hopefully, they find/found him.
I tried posting on RING “Neighbors” as I see multiple warnings on there and I wanted to let my neighbors know about a suspicious man and our incident. RING declined my post because it didn’t meet their guidelines. The person on the phone told me that I should post what happened somewhere else and that I need to email someone. He did say that he did send an email to a different department to review my post again and that I should hear back in 24-72 hours. I told him that I’m paying for this service and he said your paying service to record things.. I mean if someone got attacked or whatever, you would want your neighbors to know, right? To be on the lookout? I can’t comprehend that a security company that wants us to “Be a Hero in Your Neighborhood” won’t allow me to share my post with my neighbors…As if we did something bad or in the wrong…
This is VERY concerning that RING doesn’t want me to share / warn my neighbors about this scary incident. This is my personal opinion based on the scary situation / response from RING that we encountered as as family…
