to call ss?

[alienreflux]

Ok so this is the first time i've had a thread so hope i get lots of honest replies.i have a neighbour who has a now 2.5 yr old girl,she is a single mum.i have seen her smack the little girls bum while holding her over her arm, what looked quite hard 4/5 times. then last week while gettting my dc's in the car (about 5 houses down) i could hear her screaming at the top of her lungs "all you do is want want want well FUUUUUUCCK YOU" when i got back from shop i could hear little girl really screaming. AIBU to put a call in to ss? have never done anything like that before, but can't stop worrying.

I would. What a fucking bitch. I'd rather regret calling them than regret not calling them

I would too. having been the child left with a parent who couldn't cope, I wish someone had of cared enough to intervene.

I've got a 2.4yo and that makes me feel so sad, the poor little girl. Yes I would indeed call them.

:(

Yes call them.

Yes, please call them.

Please call them. They won't disclose to her who rang them but they will follow up your call by doing some checks to see if she needs support.

If this is in the open who knows what happens behind a closed door

Definitely. Poor little girl. I have a 2.3 year old and can't imagine snacking her and certainly not swearing at her :(
The mother might have problems and need help. You can call anonymously as far as I know:

Yes call them as soon as you can.

That's horrible. Notify them asap

Please notify SS of your concerns. It sounds as though this little one is in need of assistance. Stuff like this hurts my heart.

I would. If your worried you can speak to nspcc and they will talk tu through the process and reassure you you're doing the right thing.

Or NSPCC can make the contact with SS if you would prefer to talk to them. Please call them, it's what they are there for.
