years ago I lived in a rough area. My neighbor was screaming at his wife’s grandma in the yard. Grandma ran inside and he followed. He wasn’t physically violent.

I called the police and when they arrived After the trial his wife thanked me for not saying nothing nasty about him beyond what I saw. Jeez. He was a good neighbor and always nice to me. I was afraid if he ever gets out of prison he’ll come after me. But we have moved overseas few years after. Who knows if he ever got out.

I call the police every time I hear or see domestic violence. Maybe they won’t press charges but maybe someone won’t be found dead because I call.

I am also mandated reporter. If I can’t confront there if it’s too dangerous or police doesn’t seem right I call CPS. I have many stories of kids saved from situations etc physical violence etc just because I or someone else had a gut feeling that things aren’t right.
