I let my neighbor get blamed for my complaint

I need to admit something. The short version is that I made the original complaint, then stayed quiet while everyone blamed a neighbor who already had a bad reputation. I agreed when people guessed the wrong name.

I agreed when people guessed the wrong name. The complaint fixed a real safety issue.

Their children are now excluded. I could post in the building chat and say the complaint was mine. I keep putting off telling the truth.

I am glad the issue got fixed, but I let the wrong person take the heat. I do not feel good about it.
