Shake Walls
Under what circumstances should parents be reported to child protection services?
My neighbors have an infant boy and a 3 y/o old girlr. Sharing a wall w/them, its easy to hear what is going on. here is frequent yelling. Music is loud enough to shake things on walls, which must be harmful to a babys hearing, and stressful. have smelled pot smoke wafting thru their open window. We had to call the police at 2am, when I heard a man yelling and swearing AT the baby to shut up. I then heard sounds of a physical fight, and yelling. Then a young woman, not the babies mother, was tossed out on the back porch holding the wailing baby in only a diaper. I called 911, not knowing if anyone in there was hurt, and also ran outside to the girl and baby. The man was yelling at her to go away, and get that baby away from him. She was crying and saying she had nowhere to go. I asked her if the baby was ok, and where the little girl was and if she was ok. I said I had called the police, who came and did nothing. the yelling went on. is there anything that can be done???
Call protective services/child services, whatever they call themselves in your area. No child should live in conditions like that. They can't speak for themselves so you're going to have to help them.
The police usually can't do a danged thing unless they see it first hand or the victim requests help. Call the appropriate authorities.
You know what your gut feelings are. Act on them and thank God you're there to intervene on their behalf. You're doing the right thing. Don't wait until it's too late and then wish that you had done something.
