Next door sex noises with kids in house

Maybe she is trying to convince a school headmaster to allow her kids into his school? Think Forest Gump 😁

What sort of dreadful people keep a monkey in a cage? You need to report them asap. Awful.

That poor monkey, torn from their mother, most certainly is.

The kids are in their teens. So hardly neglect if a teen can’t use the garden unattended for an hour.

I'm concerned about the monkey tbh. I know Monkey World in Dorset have taken in a lot of capuchins (and maybe other?) types of monkey who were neglected or in unsuitable conditions on peoples homes. They should always have company and have a very specific diet, which without can lead to severe health problems.

Would you consider reporting them to the RSCPA and/or your local Environmental Health Team? It might also be worth getting in touch with Monkey World directly too.

Poor monkey having to listen to that!

It’s not necessarily illegal.

My dad’s friend used to keep monkeys. One attacked him and he had to kill it to get it off him (this was about 40 years ago!).

@ZippyBrickAh yes that age old trick of declaring anyone who dares criticise anything as being ‘JeAlOuS’ 🙄🙄🙄 Are you 12?

I would have purchased an obnoxiously large 80s style boombox and taken it down the road to point at the house playing things like Boombastic by Shaggy, or Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On at full volume for the amorous couple until they got the point. I bet the other neighbours would cheer you as a hero, or at least understand why you were doing it!

(Oops, this was meant to quote the poster who said she could hear a couple 6 doors down the street)

👏👏👏

Are OP's neighbour with the caged monkey?

Sounds like the children are being very neglected but your only take here is that op must be jealous of her sex life. 🤦‍♀️

I think they might indeed be interested that a mum has a sex life if she conducts it in a way that subjects her children to it.

Making your kids listen to you fucking isn’t acceptable and is a big red flag. Sexual disinhibition around kids is a serious concern.

Please report this. My sister's stepchildren's mother used to have sex with her partners whilst in the same room as some of her children.

Dsis SC are now adults and they all suffer with a lot of issues.

And the poor monkey, stuck in a cage all day.

Your neighbour sounds like a terrible person.

No, they work within the framework of the law, and some of those laws can be superseded/have exception clauses in them if a child is considered to be at risk of harm - including emotional harm or neglect.

Exposing your child to sexual activity is a form of emotional harm (The Children Act and the Children and Young Persons Act should cover this for you). Why are you stating things with such confidence when you clearly don’t know what you are talking about?

Thank you, that’s really made my day!

I’ve worked in social care, particularly with children, for many years and despite it being the most heart wrenching, and sometimes thankless, work I’ve ever done it’s absolutely where my soul lies so I thought I’d better get qualified before I get too old!

I really appreciate your post x

Why do people care more about the monkey than the children?

People are not caring more about the monkey than the kids, but at least the kids can amble around the yard, and it seems they do get out of the house to school just not 100%.

The monkey, unlike a child, is not meant to be kept in a house and I doubt the kids are put in cages.

Where I’m from, a registered zoo can’t even keep a monkey unless they are endangered in the wild and they are participating in a worldwide zoological breeding program. Because it’s cruel to even keep them in habitat enclosures in a zoo just for shits and giggles of spectators. They belong in the wild. People care.

I mean... I would definitely firstly report rhe monkey in the cage...

Definitely report......I'd get evidence tho. Next time the really loud shaggers are at it record them then cast over to the kids in the garden.

We had a couple on our street like this, I could hear them in the back of my house and their house was on the opposite side of the road and at least 6 doors up so I can well imagine the performative screeching !!

I think it’s worse that they’re teens actually, they know exactly what they’re listening too. A toddler wouldn’t.

Quiet nighttime sex when the kids are asleep is hardly the same as having sex in the middle of the day so loudly it’s heard by the neighbours. Poor kids, they must be absolutely mortified. No wonder they’re trying to hide from it in the garden.

Yes, they do.

But OP's job as the neighbour isn't to decide if a law is being broken or not. Her job is to notice that she wondered if she should report it, which means that she absolutely should report it. So that SS, the people who are qualified, can make the call.

Ahahahah sorry OP I do have sympathy but like everyone I am dying at the fact of your framing "some general background, a monkey in a cage, but my big concern is the mum is having sex" 😂😂😂

I am wondering where the monkey fits in ..........

Children being exposed to adult themed events such as overhearing sex noises is ABSOLUTELY a safeguarding issue!

OP, basic safeguarding training says that it is NOT your job to work out if the thing you're not sure about is a thing that you should report or not - if you even slightly wonder if it should be reported, your ONLY job is to report it. You can call non emergency police to do this, Google "Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub" and your county and that should get you a telephone number. When you speak to somebody, tell them everything that even slightly might be relevant to painting a picture of the children's welfare - again, it's not your job to decide if it is relevant, it's theirs, and they won't be mean to you, they'll just listen and ask you questions. You never know what they already hold about the family - school will likely have already submitted at least one report - and you never know if yours could be that last piece of information they need in order to act for the children's welfare.
