    That is exactly the right thing to do!!! You should go right away and call 911 if you ever see it happen again... If it's something that isn't dangerous or life threatening, people can use this in the wrong way-like some neighbor making too much noise in the middle of the night. But if you see someone physically harming someone else, especially a child, make the phone call right away!!! Don't ever feel bad about calling something like this in... If anyone was doing something like this to one of my children, I would hope there was someone like you to pick up the phone...:flowerforyou:

    I live in Massachusetts. I was literally in shock when I looked out my window (I heard the screaming before I saw anything) and saw what was happening. There were tons of adults and other children outside as well RIGHT NEXT TO where this woman was abusing her child, and no one did anything. A few of them LAUGHED. It was disgusting.

    I called the police department and the man who took down the info asked me a TON of information about myself, too. I'm paranoid he's going to tell this woman that I made the call about it.

    Are they even allowed to tell people who called? I'm glad they're looking into it but I don't want this kind of person knowing anything about me.

    No I know for a fact that they are not allowed to say anything to the person involved don't worry

    Disgusting is putting it mildly to have anyone think that that was acceptable behavior is awful thank goodness there are people like you out there that have some common sense. thank you for doing the right thing

    It's anonymous. I reported my neighbor a few years ago. She had 2 young boys, like and , and she never watched them. They would ride their bikes on the main hwy by our house. I'm surprised they were never hit. The children were eventually removed from the home. My info was never revealed.

    I don't even know if you can report this kind of thing, but I just saw a woman in my apartment building's parking lot beat the crap out of her little boy. He was on the ground crying and she was literally kicking him and screaming. :mad:

    I wrote down her car's plate but I don't know her name, just that her kid stays with the woman who lives on our first floor during the day.

    Is it even possible for me to call someone about this? I don't feel right just sitting here doing nothing...

    EDIT: I called the police and they said they will look into it.

    OMG YES!!!!!! Report this...You may save this childs life..This really makes me angry that some parents think thier childern are a punching bad please ..let me see someone hit a child n I will be calling 911 and CPS...Call the cops n tell them what you seen n you have her plate number n keep your eyes open for this lil boy...
