To report my (pregnant) nightmare neighbour?

[LLOE7]

I have a next door neighbour who is known for her loud parties, constant arguing with boyfriends etc. This morning 6am-9am she and her boyfriend were screaming at each other, him calling her a slut, bitch etc and also screaming that she's happy when she's snorting his coke! She ended up smashing his windscreen and he drove off. Few hours later the police appeared. This has happened a few times with the police knocking my door asking if we heard anything etc but no official statements have ever been made. A couple of other neighbours knocked and asked what I had heard as they are wanting to get some people to call housing association to make a complaint in an attempt to get her kicked out- she has numerous complaints against her already and is on her last chance. However she is six months pregnant and I don't know how I feel about making her homeless pregnant or with a baby. I know she is doing drugs- not sure how truthful the cocaine is but she definitely smokes weed as I have smelt it- and she has a 13 year old who has lived with her mum since before Christmas so I assume social services would be involved anyway as police would have had to tell them about all of the domestics. Sorry I am rambling I am just not sure what to do as I know three other people will be reporting her tomorrow and I don't want my phone call to mean she loses a home for a baby. CI live next door with a 3 year old and 4 month old.

Yes report her. I hope social services are involved and if she is taking drugs during pregnancy then she needs serious help. Keeping quiet won't help anyone.

I would report her to Social work department - they might have no idea who she is and is not on their radar, so are relying on the public to help keep children (and unborn babies) safe, by sharing information and concerns. She won’t be on the streets, she will get more support because she is pregnant. My concern would be the 13 year old and the unborn baby.

I would also report her, she needs help, and you wouldn't be making her homeless, she would have support.

SS need to be aware of what she is doing whilst being pregnant and also having a 13yr old. The children need to come first and that is the way I would see it.

It’s not your fault if she loses her home, it’s hers because of her antisocial behavior. Maybe being evicted will be the wake up call she needs. You and your neighbours shouldn’t have to put up with this no matter how sympathetic you are. The baby is not your responsibility and social services will step in if there’s a risk of homelessness, at worst she’ll be given a place in temporary accommodation. Not ideal for her but that’s down to her and babies don’t much care as long as they’re warm and fed.

Pregnant women don't get free passes - if their behaviour is antisocial, it would be anti social if not pregnant (that is aside from the wellbeing of the unborn child)

You need to report her to the police, next time, and social services. You really don't want her bringing up a baby in that kind of household. That poor child has no choice she does. She's acting disgustingly.

I have had a policeman come over today to take a statement and he has advised me to report her. Thank you for everyone's advise!

I would have rung the police at the time.

Pregnant women don't get free passes

THIS. OP, I doubt you'd have given it a second thought if she wasn't pregnant. Why should she get special treatment just because her reproductive equipment is working normally?

I don't know how I feel about making her homeless pregnant or with a baby

You wouldn't be making her homeless. She will have made herself homeless.

I also would report because she neess intervention for the sake of her baby.

Yes please report her, she can either except support or loose her baby. She is responsible for putting herself in the situation.
FFS I would say she's a nightmare to live beside, it is good the other resident's are taking a stand too.

Report her for sure to social services. They will deal with the potential homelessness and the drug taking whilst pregnant.

There was a very touching thread on here, some time ago, posted by a lady who specialised in fostering babies born with withdrawal symptoms because of their mother's addictions. She dealt so unsentimentally and compassionately with that poor little scrap, it brought a lump to my throat. Your neighbour should be thinking of her baby's needs, not to mention the abandoned 13-year old (I know they are being cared for by her Mum, but still, the sense of abandonment must be painful).
I have no idea how strong her addictions are, but clearly she needs help, and if only for the sake of that innocent unborn child, I'd draw SS attention to the situation. Police intervention may be the factor to galvanise things into action.

How would you feel about a baby living in that environment?

Yes report her.

It seems like it's escalated now and police are involved. I'm glad for her baby's sake but I'm also glad for you because it takes the burden of deciding what to do off you because that's not a nice decision to take

Hope she gets some help and support

Report her?
if the police are involved, and she is a drug user, I am mighty surprised that the police haven't informed SS

Shes pregnant and apparentely sniffing coke, dont think i would feel bad for her no. doesnt sound like somewhere i would want a baby growing up in.

Absolutely report her. The baby needs someone to intervene if she/he is likely to be born into an unsuitable environment.

It’s nothing to do with you if others are so bothered let them report her

Report her for the baby's sake.

The Police will have referred her to SS I imagine - and you say other people are going to. What is achieved by you doing it as well?

Report her if you want but I would not agonise over it - other agencies are involved so you do not need to.

The baby will never be homeless. You need to report her to SS as the baby could be at risk if they aren't aware she is pregnant and she is allowed to keep the baby and not be monitored.
If she is taking drugs while pregnant, once baby is born he/she will be checked and monitored for addictions, but the best thing to do for the baby is report her.

Just to make it clear- I was asking if I should report her to the housing association we rent from for antisocial behaviour, she is on a last warning and will be kicked out if numerous people log another complaint.

Yes report asap. Massive safeguarding issues, domestic violence and drug taking for starters. She will be offered support and help to stop the drugs also her midwife will be informed so she can be aware of implications for pregnancy, labour and postnatally on baby. Baby may require NNU admission whilst withdrawing from the drugs. Her other child will be on SS radar now prob as a child in need. She will definitely not be made homeless and these children deserve a better life than this.
