I'm waiting for the DYFS people to arrive so I can tell them what I saw.
The panic is starting to set in, just from the guilt I feel about not stopping the incident from occurring - and how even my neighbors are trying to blame me....and berate me for not handling it properly. I wish they would get here so I can get it over with. I am wondering if I should share with them the text messages that my neighbor sent me....

Once again, I got blown off!!! GRRRRR
 They went to my neighbor's house and then had to go to another case...This is the 2nd time!!!! I called and left a message, clearly showing that I was irritated, letting them know that I was no longer able to take time off from work for this - and that they will either need to handle this over the phone, come over before 8:30 AM or after 6 PM....Or on the weekend, but not this weekend because I'm booked. GRRRR! I want to get PAST this...... I am going to call one of their supervisors tomorrow morning to let them know that I am VERY dissatisfied with how they are handling the situation because I'm hearing all these things that are NOT facts that are coming from the little girl.....denying this and that....accusing this and that....and it's inaccurate. I am the only one who SAW THE INCIDENT with MY OWN TWO EYES very very VERY CLEARLY....WHY are they not TALKING TO ME?????

because children lie, adults like to cover their ***, and social services needs an overhaul. all you can do is report what you saw...to me you are a hero...i would considered you who is rightouts among the masses.

(((ME)))
would it be possible for you to write down everything you saw and keep it for later? i think it is important that you mention those texts, too - you don't know exactly what is happening with the adults in the situation, and this could be an attempt for them to try and intimidate you into not saying anything. i am glad you rang the supervisor, and i hope something can get resolved quickly. i guess the difficult thing is that when social services are so underfunded, that unfortunately it does become a matter of attending to the most pressing case first. if an urgent call comes through, then that does take precedence over an interview. but i hope they can sort something out so that you don't have to continually wait in limbo.

mixedup Deli had a great tip, imo  . Write down the specifics of what occurred, call and tell the police that you'll be dropping it off for the investigator/s. Get their name/s and department, so you can address the envelope completely (and avoid it getting "lost").I agree with Nuck. I can understand your frustration. Lying to cover the tracks of others is done by the victim more often than not. A sad and frustrating reality for most everyone ~ minus the perp. Shez
