Worried about my neighbour but not sure how to get involved

(quite a long post)

My neighbour moved in around 7 years ago with her mum, she’s probably in her late 20’s early 30’s. I used to see them both quite regularly, didn’t really talk to them much but would always see them going for walks together or just generally going out.

her partner moved in around 3/4 years ago and since he has arrived I’m assuming the mother moved out as I seen her once around a year ago and not at all since then and have only seen the girl maybe once or twice. I see him all the time. I always said to my other neighbour there’s something off about him but not sure what as I’ve never spoken to him apart from going to get parcel from they’re house.

my other neighbour says he would always wink at her when he seen her and she also finds him strange but we can’t put our finger on it. Maybe last year the police were at their house and took him away but he returned later that night but didn’t hear anything coming from the house and never really have, they’re extremely quiet even tho they have 2 young kids.

about an hour ago I heard banging coming from their house and I heard her shout ‘what are you doing’ and they’re children crying really loudly. He was shouting at her but couldn’t make out what he was saying apart from calling her a useless mother. I couldn’t really hear her shouting back it was just him. It’s completely silent again now.

she always came across as really nice, quiet, polite and is extremely pretty. I might be thinking too much into this but since the day I saw him I’ve thought there is something off and especially as she used to leave the house quite often but I haven’t seen her since he moved in I do feel like he is possibly controlling her and I’m not sure whether I should report anything or if this could make it worse? Or am I just over thinking? I don’t know??

Bump for someone more informed than me.

Google concern about a child and your council and you will find contact details for local safeguarding team. Tell them what has happened tonight and you are worried given how little you see them. If is starts up again call 999

Does he go out to work or leave the house without her?
Could you manufacture some sort of excuse to call at their house when he wasn't there - possibly ask her how her Mum is as you haven't seen her for so long. If you could talk to her and start to build up sone sort of relationship with her you might get some idea of what's going on and possibly offer some support.

Well you've clearly made your mind up about whose side you're on, despite the fact she could've done something awful and put her kids at risk.

My previous neighbour left an open bottle of methadone on the living room table and her toddler drank it.

He's now in a vegetative state and is likely to never recover.

Stop gossiping with your neighbour but call the police if you think anyone's in danger.

Your gut is telling you something is wrong.

You've heard odd things, just ring your local council's safeguarding today.

Let them visit and decide.

How would you feel if something bad did, or has happened. Ultimately this is what you need to consider. One ten minute phone call and your mind will be at ease and conscience clear.

Do you not ever see her or the children? Not even in the garden, if they have one?

That would be concerning for me. If they don't leave the house then that seems very odd.
