What would you do?
So many of you probably remember my What would you do? entry. Well I have another update for you. Over the weekend hubby and I took our little Nick for a walk. As we approached the house of the foul mouthed family we noticed the bedroom window was open. The three little boys who live their where looking at the window and yelling "hi baby" to our son. We were a little concerned that the boys may fall as there was no screen in the window. It would be about a six foot fall as the houses are ranchers. As the boys were yelling my husband waved at them. Then we heard the mom yelling at the boys saying, "Get off my bed Assholes". Following that we heard someone say, "Who the hell do you think you are yelling out the F'ing window". Then the Grandmother came outside and closed the window from the outside. Muttering things under her breath.
Again I am heart broken. I'm wondering what it is going to be like this spring when the weather is nice. What will I hear then?
M,
You seriously need to report these people. I just read in the paper another terrible story about a 4 yr old girl raped and murdered by her step-father! I am so disgusted at people that could do such a horrid thing. I would say if your neighbors people are so willing to yell at them like that, there could possibly be worse going on in that house. And no screens! That right there is a sign of neglect. Report to an agency that you are concerned. The best that could happen is that they get a wake up call when an agency is starting to look over their shoulder. If you don't, you will feel like crap if one day there is an ambulance outside that house.
BTW, on a lighter note, you are tagged over at my blog for a meme.

Have you tried some of those new temperature forehead strips yet? We used to do the M&M trick with our daughter. I had a jar of M&M's and she could hold the jar while I took her temp. under her arm. After I was done with her temp, she could open the jar and take out a few M&M's. It usually worked!

Wow, this story is heartbreaking and what a difficult position for you!
I just wanted to thank you for all of your kind and encouraging words over at the RuffleBlog. I sincerely appreciate it!

I am not sure where you are. but here in BC Canada ongoing threats and yelling would be considered emotional abuse ( moms have a bad day but if this is ongoing it can cause long term emotional distress). In Canada by LAW you are required to report any possible abuse of a child. I would suggest that you report this family to social services. You may be able to report this without giving your name.
