My mental state deteriorated tremendously due to fear, invasion of privacy, and trauma among many other things. Because of your actions, I live in fear and have had to relocate my entire life.  In that home were not only adults but animals and children under the age of 10. My family is traumatized and has been in distress due to this unlawful act.
