Is it abuse?

[Tara2003]

I have a very noisy neighbour who plays very loud bassy music at all hours thudding through my wall (I kid not it’s woke me and my 15 yr old son up at 3am and gone on until 7.30am on occasions) council issued an abatement notice due to the levels, which is mostly ignored, anyway she’s also a single mum (like me) and despite the constant music, on the rare occasions it’s actually quiet all you can hear is her screaming ‘shut up’ or even ‘shut the f£&@ up’ at her toddler :( it’s very distressing to listen to her child’s constant pleas for attention and her mother either turning up the music to drown her out or telling her to ‘shut up’ ... is it abuse? Some friends say yes, some say not ... should I report it? The housing association don’t care about any of it tbh :/

Yes

Yes with church bells on. Keep a diary and phone social services.

I would. Far rather have a record of it and not be needed than not say anything and something happening to the poor little girl.

Yes, of course this is abuse.

Yes & you're best moving as from experience nothing gets done!

Yes report it. Words that have stuck with me is something I read about a guy who was subject to awful awful domestic violence from his partner, his mum said she is forever grateful to his next door neighbours who reported what they could hear and that they didnt know it but they saved his life. I know it's a totally different scenario but your report could be vital xx
