Name changed as I am recognizeable and this involves my attached next door neighbour.
New neighbours moved in around six months ago. Have only met the wife very briefly and they very much keep themselves to themselves but they are not English so I appreciate there may be a language barrier there.
They have two small children, one primary age, the other one is home all day still so am guessing preschool. But the children cry constantly and I mean constantly, you never actually hear them playing or laughing or sounding like anything but crying children. The parents seem incredibly aggressive but especially the dad although again that may be because his voice carries more than her’s does.
I have heard them screaming at the children to the point even my teenager asked if there was anything we could do. The parents row a lot. I assume it’s rows, sounds very aggressive shouting slamming etc.
So, cut to this weekend. Around 9:30 suddenly a huge screaming row erupts next door. So loud and so aggressive that if I’d understood them then I would have been able to hear every word of it. Lots of slamming, and children again screaming in the background. Decided enough’s enough and called police who advised that “sorry, we don’t come out to domestic incidents because we don’t have the time.”
Shortly afterwards the door slams and I can hear the mum so guessing the dad has gone out.
No idea what to do at this stage. But yesterday I called my local surgery which is literally at the end of my street so am guessing they may be registered there, figure that maybe if I leave a message for the HV she can potentialy speak to the mum re if she needs support? Am told that due to confidentiality they cannot speak to me. Similarly re the school which is also walking distance.
So now I am at a loss as to what to do. Am prepared to be flamed here but I’m not prepared to go round there, just hearing the dad scares the crap out of me and I’m not prepared to put my own family at risk. But the authorities seem completely uninterested.
