need a little input about child abusing neighbors

[kmcmick]

Ok, i live in a duplex. I am 49 years old with a 14 yr old daughter. I have a pretty well disguised grow going on in the basement. My duplex neighbor is a welfare frauding child abusing angry person. She has a husband and 3 kids. Both working full time under the table. Got food stamps, section 8, health insurance, the whole lot. Her 2 oldest are rarely seen, 8 and 10. Her baby, 2 years old I saw for the second time today with a big red slap mark on his cheek. She told me she smacked him. I am sickened. I really do not care about the welfare fraud, but she needs to stop using these kids a smeal tickets and abusing them. What do I do? I am afraid she will retaliate, but that baby should be more important than a grow. I want to report her

[GanjaBob]

wait does she know about your grow??

[Cas]

you could call the police or child services. and if you're worried about retliatiation, just prepare for total war.

[sophiastarchild]

Amen, Cas. Call child services anonymously or something. If she figures it was you and tries to do something back to you, make sure your defenses are as strong as they can be. And God bless you for trying to improve the life of a child, that is a wonderful thing!

[RatedR]

If it's in the basement of a duplex (Aparment building I'm thinking?) then it cant be proven it's yours EVEN if she says it. Who will believe her anyways if everything you said is proven.

[friendowl]

i understand how you feel on this.multiply your feeling by like a hundred and youll have los angeles.if you do get involved be prepared mentally for dealing with the fact that you broke there family apart.if its really as bad as you say your gut feeling is already telling you what to do.is it really that bad with the abuse thing.sometimes things look worse than they are.im sure the kids rather get smacked around a lil than to be in foster care.

Now THAT is a show id like to see :thumbsup:

don't let her continue to abuse her kids... you can always grow another plant just like you can always get another bag of weed, but that kid only gets 1 life and 1 childhood... make it the best for him

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

if you can safely move your grow, that's deffenitely good, but if not, the risk is worth reporting that bitch.

[slipknotpsycho]

well if you're a normal person you know of course the saftey of a child is way more important then a grow, which can be fixed within months, whereas if things keep up this way, at the very least that kid could grow up with problems, be abusive himself and all that, or it could escelate to andrea yates type shit. if i was you, i'd either scrap my grow, or find a person to take it on for a few weeks first, then call the cops... there's no reason you should go to jail just because you are looking out for the kids and the parents get mad at you and retaliate... because you will go to jail alot longer for your grow then they will for the abuse... i wouldn't just sit by and let it keep going on, i'd do something about it asap... if you don't want to scrap your grow for it, if you have a crimestoppers program in your area... i would suggest doing your best to disguise it as good as possible (of course if these neighbors know about this grow, you'll be screwed) and call crime stoppers and report anonymously... don't tell crime stoppers anything that would give you away.. just tell them you know the kids are being abused, and you'd like them to go check it out, don't give them details of it, or any of that... because the more details you give, the more it could single people out, if you just report abuse and they go looking into it, then all that he parents will know is that someone reported them for abuse, not specifics, which could be just about anyone, where as if you give details, (especially if the kids are hardly ever seen) they could single out everyone that could of possibly seen these details, and narrow it down from there...

move the plants to another location and then call child services, you dont hit a baby hard enough to leave a mark(or at all) in the face thats just ridiculous

:D
sadly only jerry spring is now:
"are you a transexual, that is cheating on your mother with your sister?"
"are you a prostitue, that wants to leave your husband for a transexual?"
"are you in a serious relationship with your brother, and you want to tell your brother you cheated on him with your cousin, but your cousin cheated on you with his mother, but his mother cheated on him with your step-grandfather, but your step grandfather cheated on him with you?"

"If so call the jerry springer show!"

[intheclouds]

Hey man u can get more weed and grow more, But that kid cannot be replaced.

[kmcmick]

ok, you are all so right. She does not know about my grow, and it is well disguised in my basement.I can report her anonymously, but I am afraid she will know it is me, sometimes we meet on the front porch and she gets so angry and agressive, and the kid stands there with his hands outstretched, crying to me , but not any more, coz I have never saved him, and he is still being hurt. But why would someone tell their neighbour that they smacked their kid, its like she is torturing me

[Seag420]

mate report her, she'll be in handcuffs before she realises it was you who reported her

[lateralus]

Personally, I'd either wait 'til the bud filled out, or I'd get rid of it before I reported anybody (if I was paranoid about it).

[vengeance]

that kids life is worth more that a pound, i dunno clear out all your plants and put some dwarf trees there(the leaves look like pot leaves so you can claim that she mistook them for hemp) and say your growing them as pot plants (pun not intended) and took them in for the winter from out side. at any rate be carful you may want to save his life but you dont want to ruin yours in the process.

[jmudmbphan]

dude..dont be a dirtbag....move your plants if you want..but you said she doesnt even know about them...even if she does her word alone isnt enough evidence for cops to come in searching.....report this woman today, quit being a pussy about it..

[slipknotpsycho]

actually in some states an anonymous tip does give enough reasonable doubt for them to legally search, of course they would have to get a judge to give a warrant... but i don't believe i've never met a judge not hell bent on putting "druggies" behind bars..

[needbudnj]

Yeah man, you have to report her, but you also need to protect your ass.

The basement of a duplex would be a common area, so if they arrest her they have every right to search it. They MIGHT not find it, but given the penalty if they do its not worth taking a chance. Move em, or just scrap this grow and start up again after shit blows over. If the cops find it, you can bet they'll do it for you.

I'd probably be scared of her too. Abusive moms get pissed when you try to seperate tehm from their kids. But you've got to do what's right for those kids, because otherwise they'll just turn out to be screwed up adults who abuse their own kids. The cycle continues until someone breaks it.

I'd report her for the Section 8 and welfare violations as well, but maybe that's jsut me.

[daZenfmeister]

Look, dont report her just give me her address and in 5 days I'll have her straightened out. My charge: Free, but if you'd like to throw in a few buds i would be happy to accept.

[Fan o KmK]

fuck that bitch. u can either go over there wiht a nine and pop her or u could call child support or whatever its called.

nah dont pop the bitch but dude im serious either tell dazenfmeister or call child services. save the kid man. then donate the bud to people to try and make more peace.

[halo]

Do both parents beat the kids or just the mother?

If its both id be concerned about reporting it cause you could seriously break up the family, but if its just the mom go report her! They would most likely put her in jail or some place where she can learn to be a loving mother. Either way those kids deserve not to be hit. You could possibly confront her about it and talk with her, but then again i dunno.
