[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoever called is an ahole. Sorry you had to experience that. Have they apologized to you? [/quote] So, you’re saying that you would WANT your neighbors to hear your child screaming — and ignore it? I’m making some assumptions here that might not be true. The first is that it sounds like the OP wrote the note to the neighbor after this incident. Imagine if she had already known the neighbors well enough— so that they already would have thought to call, and even offer help before calling the police for assistance. I’m assuming that the neighbor meant well here. I think the OP has the right take here. As difficult as the situation has been for her, at least she has a neighbor who cared enough to verify that her child was not in danger. [/quote] Have to agree with this. I have a friend who very well could live next to OP. One of the first times I was over her house, I overheard the neighbor's child have a meltdown and it was alarming. It absolutely sounded like the child could have been in danger. Thankfully my friend knew the situation and that she wasn't in danger. But had I heard that without knowing? I probably would have seriously considered calling the cops. Would I feel guilty that I'd have upset OP like she is? Yes of course and I'd be so embarrassed as well. But I would feel a hell of a lot worse if I found out I'd witnessed that kid being abused and did nothing about it. [/quote]
