Call the police immediately.  Do not let this slide.  I'd rather be wrong in reporting 100 times than in not reporting at all for that one time when it was crucial.

I am sorry to say this, but if you feel the kids are being abused in any way....you should call child protective services.  They will come out and interview her and her kids and see whats going on.   Forget her lies, if you can see through them you have some power, and not to sound cliche, but with power comes responsibility.

If you know something like this is going on then somebody needs to be told, the cops, parents, a teacher or counselor.  Everyone this kid does this too is getting hurt and scarred for life.  This needs to stop immediately.

. Well I would say when her child is running muck in front of you and your friend about the buttinski   neighbor \n \n(Set this trap.)\n To your other friend I would tell her you before hand you are going to do this so she can concur with you through the whole thing).\nYou know some people have no control of there children and really make it miserable for every one That you both feel that people who allow there children to ruin a muck that there children do not learn how to behave in polite society It is a given fact that people who do not discipline there children have problems in school and community later on in life. They learn to be bullies and take advantage of others because they can.\n \n You can even say my friend Diane (Me) who has worked in mental health for over 10 years with kids says the problem with kids today is that parents are way to permissive. You have to nip it while they are young otherwise they have no social conchies\nPeople who children would try to injure cats they are more likely to be cruel and Have no sense of compassion or remorse and they usually end up predators of some kind. This has been tested time and time again.\nI would hate to see when this buttinski neighbors kid gets in school I would not even let any of my grand kids play with him so they would grow up acting like them.\n\n I had a kid one time keep kicking me in the Wal-Mart hard in my leg I didn't know this kid from Adam The mother looked and said nothing I was going to let it go but when she did nothing and I had had blood clots in my legs and have been very protective of them .\nI said to the child and the mother loudly well it’s apparent your mother has never taught you discipline in the home what gives you the right to kick me hoping she would intervene. She didn’t\nHe started at me again. I then said go for it kid and I will kick you back hard.\n She starts how dare you he only a child. \nI said well if you are his parent it’s your job to make him mind so be a parent and make him mind, in society he does not have the right to kick me I did nothing too him to provoke and if your child can't behave or you won't make him, leave him home. We should not have to put up with your Childs ill behavior Then I showed her where all my bruises were up and down my leg where he kicked me.\nLady I should have your son arrested for assault on my person.to teach you a lesson.\n I looked right at the kid and said maybe I will. She practalliclly ran from the store and the people in line cheered. I never would have kicked the child I just wanted to gets moms attention and have her intervene like moms suppose to do.\nI rarely ever spanked my son except a swat here and there usually just a straighten up. Made a swat sound and hurt his pride more than his back side. He does the same with his kids now and they are well behaved I can take them any where.\nSo next time you see someone disciplining there child in the local Wal-mart tell them what a good mom your Mom is to that child because she wants people to love you and like you and she is willing to teach you  the right way because she loves you.\n\nDiane

Your friend is in trouble and it sounds like you can help.  You should call the police ASAP!!!  If you don't want to report the abuse, report the dope.  \nI don't know how old you are but you if you are in school (not University) then you can tell a school counselor, they are mandated reporters in most states.\nGod luck to you and your friend.

sadly, most abused people are ashamed and try to hide it so finding the truth can be impossible. If it's a child ... don't hesitate and call child protection in your area a.s.a.p.. If it's an adult, stay a friend just keep your eyes and ears open. look for signs (read up on the internet) , look for opportunities to get your friend engaged in conversations where they trust you and comfortable opening up. Be very very cautious not to come off as judgemental. If you are asking this then you are a caring person and you will know what to do when the opportunity presents itself.

First, tell your parents and then tell the police.  You can get a restraining order against him.  The authorities are starting to take this very seriously.

Notify DHS (Department of Human Services), and your local police department. They both will investigate what is going on. Only call 911 if you see abuse happening at that specific moment.

Your parents did it to you.\n\n(That's true in my case anyway)
