NC for this.

If you were aware of a household where there were frequent alcohol fuelled arguments between a mother and her teenage daughter, including physical aggression (think punching walls/doors), and there was also a 4 year old child in the home witnessing a lot of this, who you're told has developed a tendency to become aggressive themselves... What would you do? Would you make an anonymous report? Or stay out of it?

This is not family or even a friend. More an acquaintance. I haven't personally witnessed this first hand myself, it's been reported to me by a third party who has witnessed it, and is definitely a reliable source.

Any advice?

Don't want to be too outing but my child and the teen child at this house are very close.

Can you offer for his friend to stay at yours instead? They’d get to see each other and she would be away from the chaotic space.

I could offer that yes. Unlikely to get anywhere though as I'm told the DD is discouraged from staying outside of the home by their mum.
