Report to SS or not?

[agirlhasnomoney]

I'm in two minds about whether to report some neighbors to SS.... or not.

Some close neighbors of ours have arguments, as we all do lets face it.
But these seem to be on a whole other level and are putting me on high alert.
they are real humdinger arguments of the 'fuck you, you piece of no good worthless piece of shit' variety) on a daily basis.
The 5 year old son is witness to all the arguments. And is often heard by the neighbor (me) trying to placate both parents.
Every time these neighbors argue, I can hear the small child crying.

Report?
Or not?

I don't know what to do.

What would you do?

It leaves me wondering whether everything should be reported to give ss context and help them build a full picture, or whether contacting them with so many reports acts as a deluge of work to add to an overwhelmed and creaking system. It's hard to tell from outside that system and I think it would be useful to know from sw perspective?
I'm sure I read recently one of the things that is increasing workload and stopping SS dealing with serious cases is the huge increase in low level reports. I can't remember where though unfortunately!

I find it frustrating from a schools PoV that we reach a point where we feel we can do no more or the oarents aren't engaging but it doesnt meet the threshold for intervention, despite according to our LAs threshold guidance it should. And some of these cases the kids are living in really dire conditions. It's not social services fault at all, but it's a total mess.

Apple - It's in my link above your post.

I would offer support not report
