An Indiana woman was arrested after allegedly leaving a racist note on her new neighbors front door after they moved in with their bi-racial child.

Howard County sheriffs deputies arrested 63-year-old Deborah Cantwell on Thursday and charged her with misdemeanor intimidation and criminal mischief.

Police also issued a protection order stating that Cantwell is not allowed to contact the family.

According to police, on Oct. 13 the family found their new Greentown, Ind. home covered in toilet paper and a note on the door that said their bi-racial son was not welcome in the neighborhood.

The mother of the child, Amy Pundt, started a GoFundMe Raising money to fight a hate crime to help pay for security and an attorney. Pundt posted a photo of the typed note she said Cantwell wrote.

No NERS wanted in this neighborhood THIS IS A WHITE NEIGHBORHOOD some people find NERS Stressful due to 33 years of NEGATIVE experience and it causes serious health issues, Cantwells note said. YOUR NER KID IS NOT WELCOME.

YOU CAN SELL YOUR HOME AND MAKE MONEY ON IT RIGHT NOW, the note added. BY THE WAY HOPE YOU HAVE DEEP POCKETS.

Pundt said he was crushed by hatred and racism.

My bi-racial son. My CHILD was facing bigotry and hatred at a level I cant even fathom, Pundt posted on her GoFundMe. JUST FOR THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN!! This destroyed his innocence. This destroyed a childhood. This even effected my other 4 kids!

How do I tell my child that this was done? What words do I say to let him know it is not ok and this doesnt represent this town, where everyone that meets him likes him? Pundts post continued.

According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by the Kokomo Tribune, Cantwell admitted to posting the letter when she was interviewed by police on Oct. 18.

I mean, the blacks get away with it every time, she told police.

I was just trying to let them know that they werent really welcome as far as us. I just needed to let off some steam and it was the Im not a violent person so I didnt think it was any big deal, Cantwell added.

I still find it funny when people legitimately say "the blacks" and talking about black people as opposed as a family named that

I am genuinely curious about what she thought would occur next. Like was she expected a neatly gift-wrapped happy ending to all of this? Like they'd read the note, and think "Hmmmm maybe she has a point, honey time to sell."

And I don't know any real estate deal where you'd profit immediately after moving in lol.

She was just trying to blow off some steam. She's old and out of touch. She's not violent.

Forgive her!

I'm sorry that her family have had some really bad history with black people, but JFC she was off of her rocker with that letter.


It's telling that she even says the kid seems nice enough, but the sight of him triggers her. And the kid being biracial also has no impact on her opinion.

What a shitty person. But what did they arrest her for? It's not illegal to say racist stuff. Did they consider the letter a threat? Or is there some local law or something?

Um
that's still imtimidation

what POSSIBLE "bad history" could they have had with black people that made them hate the entire race to this level? Wasn't no bad history. They're just racist pieces of trash that use individual instances with a person or two to justify their racist ways. i mean the note straight up says they moved into a "white neighborhood" or "health reasons"...that's not just a reaction to "bad history with black people"..

Sue her, take her house and live in it, and then sell the other house for that supposedly insane profit she mentioned. All in a days work against racism.
