A note to u all re: calling the cops and they do nothing with children's issues.. I had very close nbrs involved w drugs..total mess of screaming, kids crying, etc at one a.m...I called the cops several times when I thought the dad was ripping someone's throat out or i could hear mom being thrown against walls..they would come out stay a few mins then go away..I thought I was wasting my time and effort..turns out, a cps worker later told me that BC I, and other ppl made calls,the issues do become ones they keep an eye on, and one night they did do aa wellness check on the kids and found lots of abuse evidence and did take the kids and put parents in jail..the guy from cps couldn't legally tell me much but he did let me know that my seemingly useless calls do make a difference in the long run..they may seem to b ignoring an issue, but numerous calls definitely put a family on their radar..sure hope this info encourages ppl to stand up for these kids who are suffering..
