I found out today that my next door neighbor is being abused by her husband. He kicked her last night on upper thigh area of her leg. There going through a divorce and he will not leave the house. She's afraid to call the police because he has treating to kill her. She called her mom and sister but they don't want to get involved.

Nosey me asked if he's done this before and she said yes, over 10 times. What should I do? Get involved or not.... There house is going on the market today and by the end of this week and the two will part way.

 

i would mow their lawn for free, but i would not call the cops cuz its their business and its not like she asked for ur help

 

how did u find out?

** edit..nevermind..i guess she told u **

 

tell her she can stay at your place in a spare bedroom or something until this is over with. That may end up causing more drama though between you and this guy...so who knows.

 

It's nice to want to help her out, but she doesn't really want to help herself it sounds. She needs to leave right now, and if you get involved your endangering yourself.

i would definetly step in i hate fawkers that beat their wifes/gf's they should be beat to a pulp them selves

 

It depends on if he's really hurting her...
If they are scuffling about and bruising each others ego more than anything else. (Pulling hair, rare instances of slapping, pushing, etc.) Then I would say to stay out of it, it is her place to take care of it.
On the other hand, if he is truly beating her and causing her grevious injury... then maybe it is your place to call the cops next time a fight breaks out.
I guess it all depends on the severity of the situation. Some couples get a little physical when they argue... and to some extent it is normal. But it is NOT normal for one spouse to beat and injure the other; ESPECIALLY with any sort of frequency.
:dunno:

 

You're already involved because you know about it. Call the cops and do something about it. If she ends up dead...you'll have one hell of a burden on your conscious.

Please don't ignore it and not do anything about this. Domestic abuse isnt something that just goes away. Divorce or not, it's going to continue...even if it's verbally and not physical.

 

although helping her by calling the cops may seem like the right thing to do... if he finds out the cops were contacted...and by a stranger at that, he might go beserk on her and you.
