december_brigette Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 hi all: im wide awake. the major reason: neighbors are having some very loud fights. about 2 hours ago they were very very loud. my brothers are awake and i asked them if they thought it was something bad or someone celebrating halloween a bit early. a brother went outside and sure enough, neighbors were having a real fight about a child. that was at approx 1:45 am. i called 911. and the cops came right away. went to the house, and of course, "everything is fine." NOT. one of the cops told my brother there was no physical violence and nothing else they could do. all this commotion woke my baby. so i had to help her go back to sleep. now here it is 3:30 am and they are fighting again. i know its my civic duty to call the cops again. goddamit, i want sleep!!! and baby definitely wants her sleep. i know i know i know the cops should settle this....but the mama bear in me wants to stomp over there in my doc martens and tell them to shut the fuck up!!!!!! db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny Century Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 call the cops. and keep calling every time it happens. report them to child services if necessary (if the cops continue to not respond.) depending upon where you are cops are still often (way too reluctant) to interfere in "private" affairs when domestic violence is not private, it affects the lives of the community as a whole by devaluing women's place in society and it affects the lives of the children who have to grow up in traumatic environments. you did the right thing calling. don't ever feel like you are "intruding" when making a call like this. domestic violence is a community issue. even if we don't know our neighbors, we should watch out for them for the good of society.

Rabbit37 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 oh god, deeb, you brought back a memory. when my oldest was about 5... or was turning 5 the next day. we had a big party planned for her. at 2 freakin' am, there's a party next door that spilled out onto the front lawn. i ignored it, i put the pillow over my head, did everything i could to pretend it wasn't there... til a girl shrieked. that did it. i stuck my head out the door and screamed SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!! quiet for a few minutes... then the girl shrieked again. that's when the police were called. apparently there was under-age drinking, and arrests were made, but that blew my night's sleep. sorry, i heop tonight is better.

Loon-A-TiK Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 you also never know when violence will erupt. one of my friends has a mom who ended up in the ICU for a week, with a fractured skull, broken ribs, a broken arm, and internal bleeding because her husband beat her. the cops did NOTHING. they were called and chalked it up to nothing, left, and then she was almost killed. i was driving down the street once and this guy chased this woman outside. she was holding a baby and screaming. he had a gun!!! i stopped and called 911. i'm happy i did. the police came and arrested him. she said she was divorcing him and going to a shelter. so, calling the cops is the right thing. at least, if she does get hurt, they'll have a nice record implicating him. you and baby also deserve sleep! hopefully they'll remain quiet. the lady who went to the hospital got out and is doing ok, but is still with the a$$hole who almost killed her. i'll never understand why women do that.
