Long story,old name changed MNer. Please advice,really don't know what to do.
Basically we live in a cul de sac with 3 police families,we're having problems and feel bullied.
Moved in a few years ago and there have been issues.Kids of all 3 play together.Son of one aggressive and repeatedly hurt our dc.Name calling,putting toys down drains etc.We tried getting them to ignore it and it just got worse.Then tried getting them to come in hen it happened and it made it worse. Said dc couldn't play with them and mother livid.Had conversations with parents who said we need to keep out if it. Soooo told them to hit back,did work a bit.
They have 5 vehicles including a caravan which they park on the road and makes getting in and out difficult.
The dad does welding/cutting on the road next to the kids playing.
The son says really nasty things saying his dad says dp looks like a pig and he's going to report us for this,that and the other.
The dad has a temper(we hear him shouting and smacking), the son has had problems at school and the mother has moved him.Said son has temper issues.
Then their dog bit our son and he ended up at AandE treated for shock(vomited everywhere)and minor bite (anti biotics) which bled.Wanted it on record hence our visit.
Their other dog bit one of the other police children.
Their dog ran through our house off it's lead,my kids were terrified as they're now terrified of dogs.
Name calling got nastier(bitch etc which we heard),dd retaliated with a rude word 'git'
as she says she doesn't know what she is supposed to do and the dad came out shouting at her.Dp (who is very gentle as a rule) shot out to explain.Heated discussion but amicable end.
Later wife turns up on our doorstep saying horrible things eg everybody in the town hates us.I told her to leave.
The next day as I was coming back from shopping alone the wife came out and threatened me saying she was now going to make my life hell.I e- mailed the daft conversation to dp so we had a record.
This evening the son broke up some white stuff out in the road,made a bit of a mess and the dad went apoplectic,screaming at him,dragging him in.He was then sent out to clear it up saying his dad said he was going to physically make my dc clear it up,they said they hadn't done it.The next thing I knew the mother came out screaming at my DS calling him "a rude little shit" and saying what awful parents we are.Ds came in shaking,dd ran up the road to hide.All 3 insist they didn't break up the stuff but were playing near it even so I'd have happily got them to help if she'd asked nicely.They seem to hate our dc who have only ever had glowing reports at school,never been in trouble.
Dp out so I called my parents round whilst DS went to find dd.Dp now home and livid saying they can't abuse our dc verbally.I kind of agree.We just want it to stop and to be left alone.
What would you do?Will prob delete at some point for obvious reasons.
AIBU?
To wonder If we need to report our neighbours now?

Yes I would report. But be prepared for a battle, I suspect it will get worse before it gets better.
Write everything down, record as much as you can, practice recording conversations in your pocket.
How utterly horrible for you all 
one thing is certain, you cannot put up with this. Much as I don't believe in running away, sometimes that's the easiest fix, is there any chance you can move? I'm afraid I would consider it.
How do you report?Obviously not going to ring 999.
Or should we try and ignore more?
I feel it's escalating and the more they do the worse they are next time.I wouldn't scream at my dc let alone other people's like DS was screamed at this evening for nothing.He was shaking and upset she called him a shit,he said is that poo?
