AITA for telling a kid from our neighborhood i will call a police if he keeps walking his dog around my house?

Basically, we have a house with a big yard.

Its got a lot of space in the front, with a big fruit garden in the back, but its not completely separated.

Its got a fence on a few sides, but the other one next to the woods is free.

Their dogs are often outside.

We also have a few house dogs (cane corso and a husky) that are really well trained.

They are often in the garden because they need that space to move around, but they never pass our territory and that being said, they are protective of it.

They arent agressive, they just start barking and basically never stop.

She is worried about a neighbor kid.

So, the issue is this kid from the neighborhood. We dont know where does he live, but he keeps walking his tiny beagle around here.

There is no issue when he walks him through the woods, but he keeps going to our garden which is right in front of our window and i always feel uncomfortable when i see him there, and i get annoyed.

But when someone goes out to tell him to move, he runs to the woods and starts saying we cant do anything since he isnt on our property.

Even that wouldnt be an issue, but he keeps calling and chasing our dogs and im really scared something bad is going to happen since im not always home and my parents might not notice him since only my window sees that part.

She tried to scare him into leaving.

So today he kept calling them to go with him to the woods after i told him to go away, and i got annoyed and told him i have pictures and will call the police on him if he keeps doing it.

And now everyone is saying i probably traumatized him and that i didn’t have to be so rough, but im also only 19 so hes not much younger than me, and as a girl i feel very humiliated when a teenage boy is walking by my window almost everyday.

So AITA? Should i have been gentler?

Did she overreact, or was she right to scare the boy away?

Let’s see how Reddit responded to this story.

This person thinks the boy sounds creepy.

Another person calls the boy a peeping tom.

He deserved it.

A camera doesn’t have to be super expensive.

Or she could use a hose.

Hopefully, he’ll leave her alone.
