Neighbour screaming and shouting at child and child does also; it happens regularly

[Calling]

I went out at 5.30pm today and the neighbours were screaming loudly and shouting again and so were the children. I came home at 10.10pm and would you believe it, the screaming and shouting could be heard from the street again. Sometimes you can hear it in the street when the windows and curtains are shut in the daytime. This evening, the father was standing on the pavement and the front door was open so the noise was very loud. A child screaming and shouting at 10.10pm, fgs.

I am really concerned about the situation.
It has been going on for months.
I have already gone into the central police station and met a police officer to tell them all about the concerns; I was lucky in that there was a mature and aware woman police officer who set up a file and gave me a reference number.
I have also phoned the NSPCC and told them all about it. They were very good.
Thinking about the recent terrible abuse cases where the neighbours did nothing, did focus my mind.

Just posting now because I don't even know all the times of incidents and what is going on, but what else can I do? I cannot go round, obviously I need to be careful.

Firstly, well done for reporting. I don’t think you can do anymore than you have. How awful for you.

You reported it to police and NSPCC. Other than that, you could report directly to SS or the children’s school, if you know where they go to school. Other than that, there’s not much else you can do , except actually calling the police if you suspect something violent is going on, when it is going on.

What is the shouting though? Aggressive, swearing, name calling? Arguments? Just being loud? Are they two sided? What age are the children?

I would also report to the school

Well done for reporting to the Police and NSPCC. I would report to SS too. I was in a very similar situation around 30 years ago and glad I reported what was going on.

@pilates Thanks. It is awful for me. I have thought of moving house, but then, you don't know what the new neighbours will be like

@WhenYouSayNothingAtAll Good idea, but I don't even know their names or what school the children go to. I decided that I would keep a low profile in case they suspect that I have reported them.

What the shouting is like, is very aggressive, prolonged and shouting at the children by the mother. It is more than the usual annoyance, it is persistent and would drive any child up the wall. The children (really, the girl) shouts back and screams back as if to defend herself. It is not normal tempers spilling over now and then, it goes on and off for hours.

The girl and boy are no more than eleven years.

@BunnyRuddington yes.

Report it again and report it to social services. I wouldn't care if they suspected me if I was reporting something if this nature.

It really upsets me to hear the screaming and shouting to children and they are obviously in distress. So it has an impact on me as well.

Obviously the first concern is for the children.
