We moved house a few months ago.. the ones that back on to ours behind seem to be split into flats. I'd not really noticed much until i started mat leave and was spending more time at home, and now the weathers picking up im really loosing my rag.

They are always out in the garden screaming at each other. Noticed it a lot more since sorting nursery out as that room overlooks them and i like to leave the window ajar and air washing in there sometimes. They are your typical jeremy kyle candidates. I have seen a pushchair out there but never seen a child. They seem both as violent as each other.. so much so that im scared to shout "shush" incase they figure out which house is mine and come knocking. Its a lovely area aside from them. I shalk give you a snapshot into this morning..

Hes shouting about how people should be careful around him because everyone knows hes got an anger problem and shes shouting about how shes not arsed if they take dc into care ect. Shouting louder and louder and then i looked.. and there are two staffy type dogs out there and he is punching one of them really hard. Its sickening to watch. I diddnt have enough battery on my phone to record anything and he stopped soon enough but seemed to be doing it for kicks and i need to do something. Do i call rspca or police or somewhere else?
I cant work out which house/flat it is as they are white from my view but when you drive down the road they are all red at the front i cant work it out. I just need to do something but dont knoe what to say.

What an awful thing to see. You have to follow this up to protect the kids and animals from violence and I'm sure you won't want your child growing up to see and hear this from their bedroom window.

You said they seem both as violent as each other, do they have fights with each other do you mean?

Thank you for all of the replies and advice. Im going to call 101 and the rspca. Maybe 101 can advise as to getting in touch with social services ect (i've never dealt with them and have no idea where to start). They are awful and i really dont want dc to be hearing any of it. It seems to be so much more frequent now the weathers picked up.

I have never seen a child there.. and from what i can gather from their arguments social services are heavily involved already and its not going well.. they spend alot of time outside and i've never seen one just the pushchair but obviosly that doesnt mean anything.
He seems really vicious and violent and vile.. if it were anyone else having an argument while i was in the garden i would probably shout "keep it down some of us are trying to relax" or "language eh?" In a kind of friendly but letting them know everyone can hear way. But im genuinely scared of what he would do. Saying that.. i dont feel sorry for her because she seems just as violent disgusting and vile and they go for each other at equal amounts. They are like animals. Out in their pyjamas looking like they havent washed for three years using all the language under the sun.
Im keeping my phone charged now just in case! And like i said i will get onto rspca and police now. Thank you!

Call the RSPCA NOW.

I'd call the local police station for advice, and the RSPCA. Like other posters have said, someone who is violent towards animals might well be violent towards people, especially small defenceless ones.

I called the RSPCA line for reporting cruelty recently as I witnessed a man swearing at & hitting a dog. Read their website page so you have the details to hand. They do not disclose your details. It will be passed on to a local officer & they may call you back to check details. You won't necessarily know the outcome. It is definitely the right thing to do, and of course, also reporting for the people there too.

As well as the police, you can contact the NSPCC on, 0808 800 500.

They will tell you what you should do about the child living in those conditions. It doesn't matter if they are "as bad as each other", the child is living with severe Domestic Violence and animal cruelity.

They will explain how to report what you hear, if the child is on a CP plan, then no discloser will be made to the parents, how SS have come by this information, it will be noted even if you want to remain anonymous.

If anyone witnesses fights or arguements and there is a child in the house, you are ignoring the child living with abuse.

It is not wasting police time to report such incidences, it picture builds for SS and the police, whose child protection duties have been increased.

I agree about the RSPCA, as if there is animal cruelity and children in the house, then they will also pass over that information to child services/police.
