I’m dark haired and lily white, my sister is olive skinned and has blonde hair, people have said that we don’t look anything alike, yeah no kidding we don’t we are both adopted.
My brother and I love going to Dave and busters and stuff together and we occasionally get weird looks when a 300 lb 5’5” black guy and a 230lb 6’ white guy are hanging out together.
Right? My adopted son is brown hair, brown eyes, tan skin in a family of the palest, whitest people ever. We’re all blonde/red headed with blue and green eyes. Doesn’t look anything like any of us. It’s glaringly obviously he’s not “ours” and we get comments and they are so damned offensive.
Send me that number, I will ask him if my children are mine, since they are so good at that. Actually, I have quite a few family members we would like to find if these rugrats are actually ours. Thanks in advance, lol.
Yes, also if they left an email, use spamify.com or whatever it is. Also who the fuck is this skin color police and what's their number? I need to put them on Blue Man Group - shit's illegal.
Call the non-emergency number for your local police. Start a paper trail. No charges no complaint, just a heads up to the authorities about some mild harassment. Will save some trouble in the long run if they try to involve the police themselves.
It also gives the police a heads up that someone might be calling on something that's not really an issue. Maybe one cop instead of a small team or an investigator.
This advice varies depending on where you are. It may be considered a hate crime if there's an actual crime associated with it, but right now this is just a neighbour being an asshole. There's no threats of physical harm, and, if this is the first/only contact, there's no harassment until OP tells the neighbour to stop contacting them and they continue to do so despite that.
I saw in another comment that you already contacted the police. As tempting as it would be to send them a message giving them the finger but you did the right thing. Hope the authorities do the right thing and I hope you and your family will never have to deal with this again.
If you know what house sent this, I would put a notice on every house around you with this picture as a “hey these people in our neighborhood did this” heads up kind of note. And I would also do what others have suggested about warning the police about the blatant racism and harassment.
I signed my wife up for hearing aid information as a joke because she always ends up telling me I was right about something that she didn’t listen to me about. I always know immediately when one of those pamphlets show up in the mail. Lmao. Gift that keeps on giving.
Someone has done this to me. Don’t know who or why, I never found out and I can’t even guess what I did wrong. But holy hell, it’s so annoying and it takes forever for them to stop calling. So… great suggestion. Seriously.
I'd also put up signs (not around the apartments, but elsewhere where the neighbor isn't likely to find them) with their phone number and steal that idea from the
Better yet, sign them up for super PAC notifications. Just everyone you can find. They'll basically have to change numbers cause that shit gets sold between PACS and it becomes basically impossible to "unsubscribe"
As a white guy with a brown wife and a pale ass baby girl, I feel you on this. We get weird people saying shit and giving weird looks all the time. Hope you’re doing well, OP.
My brother got harassed about his daughter not being his. My brother is white and his wife is native American. His daughter just looks slightly more than than him. There really isn't any reason they should have question.
My sister-in-law is white with mixed children and they all live in rural Georgia. She's had plenty of run-ins with racist folks. Both white and black, strangely enough. White racists don't like a white woman raising brown kids and black racists don't like a white woman raising brown kids. I was honestly surprised by the second one.
I had blonde hair when I was a baby (half white half Chinese). When I was little we went to China and happened to stay near the hotel that EVERYONE adopting Chinese babies stays at. My mom would take me out to walk around and people would stop her and be like “omg where can you get a white one???” or they’d think she was the nanny
my friends are a brown lady and a white, ginger dude. their son is brown, their daughter is white. it sucks the looks they get when they go out with the kid that doesn't match their skin tone. like, people, mind your own damn business...
It amazes me that in this current day that anyone even the racists question things like this. Not only are “them blacks mixing with them whites”, but aren’t there blended families, foster kids, adopted kids and all sorts of combos? My brother is white and is married to a black woman and his son looks more black. He has problems all the time.
My brother is white and all three of his babies mommas are brown. All the babies came out white and eventually darkened up to a fair light brown. One of them darkened quicker then the others but I’m no scientist to explain why the pigmentation would do any of this. Just my and their personal experience. So your baby May darkened to resemble the mothers skin tone in a year or two.
Even if people are too stupid to understand mixed races as a thing, have they seriously never heard of adoption? And none of that should matter anyway, because unless you're abusing the child, it's none of their business.
I'm multi racial, i look middle eastern/ Mediterranean. I have one kid that looks black, one looks Asian and one that is ivory white. You wouldn't believe the shit people have said to me over the years. It does seem to calm down when your kids hit their teens though.
My family is the same way. I am visibly Hispanic, and my partner and our kid are very much white, blonde, and have light eyes. Sometimes we joke about people thinking I'm the nanny.
It’s very easy to hate everyone when stuff like this comes up. My husband has a saying and I have to remind myself daily. “Half of the people on the planet are below average intelligence.” It seems like the average bar keeps getting lower and lower.
This one is scary, because this individual is clearly actually insane. The delusion level could be perceived as unhinged. Insanity + Racism scares the shit out of me and this person is making reference to OP’s kid. It’s all just extremely unnerving to me. I hate it.
I once posted a printed notice asking for volunteers for a marijuana research project. I included the assholes number and said to call and leave a message anytime of day. I also put down the free marijuana would be provided. And before you ask, it was a coworker who was cheating on his wife with a MUCH younger coworker. It sort of came up in a discussion about what we should do.
Here’s what you do. Trace your hand, but only one finger extended. Fold it neatly and place in an envelope. Use lots of tape to seal it. Then place that in another envelope. More tape.
Anytime you see shit like this, I assume it’s fake. This is no different. Look at her profile, engaging in topics such as racism, fat phobia, and ableism.
On the other hand, there’s a lot of psychology research backing up the idea that it’s easier for people to want to believe it’s fake, rather than accept that this could actually happen. Because people are generally uncomfortable with the idea that the world is not a safe, sane place. Just World Hypotheses.
I looked into her post history, too. Some of her first posts are about eating disorders. Fat-phobia would track. She's also a teenager who got pregnant two years ago when she was 15. The vast, vast, VAST majority of her posts are pregnancy questions and worries. That also tracks. After her pregnancy posts stopped, she posted once in a year. Which also tracks if she had to take care of a baby. Prior to these most recent posts related to this note, none of her previous posts are remotely obvious calls to attention. I doubt this is fake.
Woman who experiences racism, fat shaming, and ableism, and talks about it online is obviously lying about experiencing racism, fat shaming, and ableism.
seriously. this is the exact fake scenario you’d dream up as a teenager, thinking about how vindicated you’d feel when people rally to your defense and you successfully whip them into a frenzy. we all fantasize about having dramatic things happen to us as a teen, we all fantasize about fake scenarios where we emerge victorious and as the hero. and then we all cringe looking back at it once we’re older
Just looking at a few of their last comments/posts, person has a massive, massive victim complex. Like, extremely unhealthy, terminally online victim complex.
Part of me always hope things like this are fake and just karma whoring. Sad that this is real, I’d knock on their door and fucking scream at them. I live in Canada though, i feel like if you are American it’s gonna be some white supremacist family whose gonna try and shoot you
Check OPs profile. Shit like this apparently happens to them a lot, so yeah I’d say they’re faking for karma and attention. That or they’re the type to integrate this shit with their identity and seek out confrontation.
Another thing to consider doing is posting this pic on the neighborhood website like nextdoor (if there is one) and post on local news channel websites. Make sure the WHOLE neighborhood and town/city knows about it.
Ok is it just me or does this seem very racist, just because the kid isn't the same color or doesn't look like them could mean they are adopted or they could have had a 50 50 chance to come out a different color because they could have made a kid with a person of a different color.
OK first of all racist much. Being a different race is not sufficient to suspect kidnapping. Adoption, babysitting, stepparents, being cousins, foster care, or even a random mutation are all reason off the top of my head without any thought could lead to a person raising a child that looks different.
You should file a complaint of some sort so they don't approach your child. That is such sketchy behavior. I'm all for the community protecting one another but that is just bigotry.
Ask them for their ID to prove who they are. Honestly though, who the fuck does this person think they are making assumptions and demands like that... what a joke
At parent teacher conferences, when my mom mentioned that the teacher had had both of her kids, the teachers would ask if my sister had I shared the same biological mother. We did. Same Dads too.
Huh. I didn't look anything like my parents either. But then again I was adopted.
I’m dark haired and lily white, my sister is olive skinned and has blonde hair, people have said that we don’t look anything alike, yeah no kidding we don’t we are both adopted.
My brother and I love going to Dave and busters and stuff together and we occasionally get weird looks when a 300 lb 5’5” black guy and a 230lb 6’ white guy are hanging out together.
My parents are black haired and tan as fuck. I’m a egg shell white ginger… I look like I am adopted, and I am in fact adopted.
My dad was adopted by my grandad and was told many times that he (my dad) looked like him (my grandad)
Ah, but you’re missing the key point. This is a white child, and the note implies the parents aren’t. That means it’s definitely kidnapping. /s
no. they’re just glorified kidnappers. lol
Right? My adopted son is brown hair, brown eyes, tan skin in a family of the palest, whitest people ever. We’re all blonde/red headed with blue and green eyes. Doesn’t look anything like any of us. It’s glaringly obviously he’s not “ours” and we get comments and they are so damned offensive.

Call the non-emergency number for your local police. Start a paper trail. No charges no complaint, just a heads up to the authorities about some mild harassment. Will save some trouble in the long run if they try to involve the police themselves.
Aw darn, was hoping to get some tips on hiding a stolen child.
Adding that you should:
It also gives the police a heads up that someone might be calling on something that's not really an issue. Maybe one cop instead of a small team or an investigator.
Or call the cops and tell them your neighbor has kidnapped your son and left you a ransom note
Must be nice living in an area where the police actually do their job.
the last line made me wheeze
Nice try Neighbor. Thanks! 🙂
Smart man
that's more than "mild" harassment. Retain an attorney, and proceed to sue in civil court for damages. $5,000.00 sounds reasonable to me.
This advice varies depending on where you are. It may be considered a hate crime if there's an actual crime associated with it, but right now this is just a neighbour being an asshole. There's no threats of physical harm, and, if this is the first/only contact, there's no harassment until OP tells the neighbour to stop contacting them and they continue to do so despite that.
I saw in another comment that you already contacted the police. As tempting as it would be to send them a message giving them the finger but you did the right thing. Hope the authorities do the right thing and I hope you and your family will never have to deal with this again.
What the police gonna do, he didn’t file a restraining order
100% this!
If you know what house sent this, I would put a notice on every house around you with this picture as a “hey these people in our neighborhood did this” heads up kind of note. And I would also do what others have suggested about warning the police about the blatant racism and harassment.
Hell, put it up on every house, even if you don't know who its is. The racist will get the same note and know everyone around him is onto his shit.
Aside from contacting the police to avoid further bullshit, this response is my favorite
Could just be in a rascist neighbourhood tho
Put it on Nextdoor too.
They have their number. They can find them from that, scarily easy, actually.
Please sign the number up for a bunch of spam stuff. Fuck them
Check out OP's history kinda sus.
I'd sign them up for insurance quotes and shit
HAHAHAHAHA YESSSSSS!!! You have their number. Sign up for quotes for every god damn thing.
No, i would be putting their phone number on a few Craigslist ads,

Let me guess the baby is either light skinned or adopted? These fucking people are so goddamn stupid it causes physical pain
I have a very white passing child lol. I birthed him myself.
you can be a black woman and birth a white looking baby you know.
Yeah was gonna say, even beyond the obvious genetic variance explanations…have these idiots never heard of adoption?
As a white guy with a brown wife and a pale ass baby girl, I feel you on this. We get weird people saying shit and giving weird looks all the time. Hope you’re doing well, OP.
Im a well tanned Asian and my kid is a toe head, almost white. Of course his mom is of northern Europe blood.
My brother got harassed about his daughter not being his. My brother is white and his wife is native American. His daughter just looks slightly more than than him. There really isn't any reason they should have question.
As a Mexican guy that’s hella brown, and a sister and brother who are both white as ivory, this is terrifying!!
My daughter's white, her boyfriends black. The stares come with the territory. Let's not deny it, we're surrounded by idiocy.
My sister-in-law is white with mixed children and they all live in rural Georgia. She's had plenty of run-ins with racist folks. Both white and black, strangely enough. White racists don't like a white woman raising brown kids and black racists don't like a white woman raising brown kids. I was honestly surprised by the second one.

Thanks! :)
Damn, women of color can't have shit.
A cashier once thought my sister was stealing my moms groceries cuz my mom is a brown woman and my sister is a pale ginger
The only thing worse than being racist, is being a racist who doesn't mind their own fucking business.
My brother is white and all three of his babies mommas are brown. All the babies came out white and eventually darkened up to a fair light brown. One of them darkened quicker then the others but I’m no scientist to explain why the pigmentation would do any of this. Just my and their personal experience.

I really don’t get this.

Part of me is glad my kiddo is brown like me and not white/blonde like her dad. At least I don't get asked if I am her nanny.
It's so easy just to mind your own business. Will never understand idiots like OP's neighbors.
What a psycho. Sorry that happened to you.
Always happy to see a person in the comments that just came to be supportive.
wait until the neighbor hears about adoption...
I fucking hate people.
People fucking suck.
Yeah, people who fake angry letters from neighbours for Reddit karma suck don’t they?
I hate fucking people

Give your neighbor a urine sample. Just leave it on his door.
Be a shame if that phone number made it online un-obstructed..... 😈
You were extraordinarily decent to mark out their personal information! I would have let the world call this asinine, disgusting human being.
Omg I would call the cops so fast. I'm so sorry you live near them.
Here’s what you do. Trace your hand, but only one finger extended. Fold it neatly and place in an envelope. Use lots of tape to seal it. Then place that in another envelope. More tape.
Don’t forget the glitter!
Give 'em the old Featherless Turkey. Nice!
My brother did something like that to me once. But from jail.
Don’t forget the glitter! Do
I feel like there are some websites where you could post that number to give them the “response” this deserves

She's literally asking for a dick pic bro.

That would be way easy to troll. You could really have a good time with that drooler.
Of course my "son" doesn't look like me....you may also need glasses cause my "son" is a German Shepherd...
Anytime you see shit like this, I assume it’s fake. This is no different. Look at her profile, engaging in topics such as racism, fat phobia, and ableism.
I always think that the moment I see something like this. Especially when its just a picture of paper lmao.
On the other hand, there’s a lot of psychology research backing up the idea that it’s easier for people to want to believe it’s fake, rather than accept that this could actually happen. Because people are generally uncomfortable with the idea that the world is not a safe, sane place. Just World Hypotheses.
Dude it's fucking scary how many people in this thread are actually buying this shit as real.
I looked into her post history, too. Some of her first posts are about eating disorders. Fat-phobia would track. She's also a teenager who got pregnant two years ago when she was 15.

It's worse than fake. These are disinformation agents designed to sow discontent and violence for foreign political agendas.
Woman who experiences racism, fat shaming, and ableism, and talks about it online is obviously lying about experiencing racism, fat shaming, and ableism.
Not real, hoax for karma.
Listen I’m just gonna take a shot and if I’m wrong my bad.
Yep
OP thought of a cool post to draw attention to
I could not believe you any less.
seriously. this is the exact fake scenario you’d dream up as a teenager, thinking about how vindicated you’d feel when people rally to your defense and you successfully whip them into a frenzy. we all fantasize about having dramatic things happen to us as a teen, we all fantasize about fake scenarios where we emerge victorious and as the hero. and then we all cringe looking back at it once we’re older
Just looking at a few of their last comments/posts, person has a massive, massive victim complex. Like, extremely unhealthy, terminally online victim complex.
Pretty sure this was written by jussie smollet
This never happened
Are you the same person that posted this yesterday since you are claiming this happened to you?
On the one hand that's kind of fucked up, but I can't help but feel this is faked for karma too, which is arguably equally if not more fucked up.
Clearly fake. Agree you have to be a massively pathetic individual to get a rise out of posting fake shit like this too, I’m sorry.
Why are you posting this again?

Lmfao 🤣 what did I just read?
The don’t looking like “clon4” is driving me crazy
Ok is it just me or does this seem very racist, just because the kid isn't the same color or doesn't look like them could mean they are adopted or they could have had a 50 50 chance to come out a different color because they could have made a kid with a person of a different color.

i get the impression that this was written multiple times and this was the best version.
You should file a complaint of some sort so they don't approach your child. That is such sketchy behavior. I'm all for the community protecting one another but that is just bigotry.
How do we know you didn’t write this and tape it to your own door just for the attention? I’m always skeptical of posts like this, sorry.
Adoption could exist too you know
Wtf, that's just racist, you should call the cops on her or talk it out with him/her, whatever you think is most appropiate
Ask them for their ID to prove who they are. Honestly though, who the fuck does this person think they are making assumptions and demands like that... what a joke
