Hi All,

Im new here- hope Im posting in the correct area.

I have a problem with an EC member approaching and harassing my 11 year old son about alleged behaviour on common property. 

My son went out to put some rubbish in the bin- he was alone and was approached by a member of the EC- who accused him of behaving dangerously in the pool area of the building. My son explained that he must have the wrong child as he had not been at the pool for weeks- I know this to be true. Big scheme and lots of kids around. 

Now I was not here to witness the conversation but my child came back in tears and very distressed- unusual as he is usually not affected like this. He said he was yelled at, screamed at and stood over by the man. No other witnesses around. 

I (the owner) went out and spoke to this EC member. He told me that he was within his rights to speak to a child as it is part of his role on the EC. I told him that he was not to approach my child and that he should have come to see me if there was a problem. He maintains that it is his right/ responsibility as he is part of the committee. 

As it turns out he was not even present when the so called behaviour (jumping into the pool) happened- he was acting from second hand information from someone else.

This to me is bullying and if there was a legitimate complaint then it should have gone to an EC meeting or something???

This man has too much time on his hands- and is always hiding around corners looking to catch people doing something wrong- he takes great pride in telling people he is on the committee and has a history of telling people what they can/ can’t do.
