slight dilemma with my neighbors v.suspected domestic abuse...?
You aren't very bright when you want to get involved with a domestic dispute. You live next to them and you have to live next to them for the duration of whatever time your lease is or however long you want to live there. I wouldn't start burning any bridges by sticking your nose in places, if the house just gets an anonymous knock from the cops so be it, no one would be the wiser.
yea. if it's really like that i'd call the police. but just make sure that it definitely is really some sort of violence going on.
a year back my sister and i got in a huge fight while my parents were gone and my neighbors thought there was some abuse going on, they called the cops and i had police in front of my house. they came in and asked a bunch of questions and said how worried they get over domestic abuse calls, because how scary and dangerous they can be. then i got fucking charged with vandalism for punching a hole in the wall...
but yea, if it's happening that often and really does sound like it's dangerous, then call the police. best you could do.

bullshit... this not only affects you, but you and the rest of those around this place. It sounds like it's not even the man of the house, but rather, the woman of the house - this means the cops will act even less on the situation. This is a situation that needs to be solved by the neighbors. You and your neighbors need to knock on the door and act on the situation face to face.
And if you think GUNS will be drawn, your a complete ass and Im reeeeeeally glad Im not your neighbor.

At my friends apartment building we have seen this little girl with a few bloody noses. There is always yelling going on in that apartment. My friend tried to help the girl with the bloody nose one time when she saw her outside, but the girl refused help and said she knows what to do for them. We're pondering on calling CPS.
wow, all this drama
h:
i got a call back from the local CPS. they said that my report wasnt "good" enough in that if all i heard was yelling, screaming and/or crying it wouldnt provide any real evidence. just like some of you suggested, the woman told me that if things appear to get heated again i should call the police the moment it happens and let them handle it.
she said it would be a different story if i was able to see the kid w/ bodily injuries, like bruises and etc., but until then there wouldnt be much they could do
oh well, at least i know what to do now once this happens again. and no i wasnt planning on barging in or walking up to them to intrude on their family. im not concerned over the little sleep i lose. my main concern is for the child and her family

How do you know what these people have in there homes. There's something like 200 million guns out there with only 8 million legal owners (my numbers may be a little off from the last time i checked) That means you dont know who has what, what type of mindset there in, what type of background they come in. You dont know NOTHING, except people are yelling. So right there you know there's tension there. All it takes is one thing to set it off. A man coming to the door to confront them about the problem is a terrible thing.
You're mindset is that these people are waking you up (if done at night) so evidently you're a little angry. If you say something out of pocket that will make them upset, now what, you have a situation on your hand. Either you get out and call the cops, either you stay and get your ass beat, or you get carried out by the paramedics.
Call the cops or turn the other cheek IMO
How about this ask a law enforcement officer about the dangers that come from dealing with domestic disputes.
