A Santa Clarita mother said she and her children are living in fear after being repeatedly harassed and threatened by their next-door neighbor.
Alejandra Feliciano lives at a condominium in the Canyon Country area where she said her neighbor terrorizes her family almost daily.
Many of the hostile interactions were captured by her front door camera. She said the harassment, which remains unprovoked, has been ongoing for years, but in the last several months, the hostility had escalated.

“I’m terrified,” Feliciano told KTLA’s John Fenoglio. “He’ll come out with a belt and antagonize the camera as if he’s going to hit us. He has used sticks before. He’ll use his Doberman dog without a leash.”
Footage shows the man aggressively walking towards the door and flipping off the camera. Feliciano said he constantly shouts racial slurs at her and her children.
“He has this thing where he feels very strongly about us because we’re Hispanic,” she said.
She said the man waits for her family to exit their front door when timing his harassment. He has even reportedly waited outside her garage door with his dog by his side.
One video clip captured him threatening to “pistol whip” her and her son.
Feliciano has filed a police report against the man and said she is in the process of obtaining a restraining order. But outside of the man physically harming her or her kids, she said authorities can’t do much about the situation.
Although she said the easiest solution would be to move, Feliciano said she can’t afford to do so and at this point, feels trapped and helpless.
She has tried speaking with him but said she was unsuccessful as the threats and racial slurs continue every day.
“I want peace,” she said. “I just want him to leave us alone.”
Feliciano said she saved all her recordings of the neighbor out of fear for her safety and as evidence to present to authorities.
So far, the man has not been charged with a crime, however, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said they are investigating the matter.
