True. And the story wasn't about me riskig my kids. That was Quite off the
wall, wasn't it?
Police had been to that house twice before (that I know of) for domestic
violence. It was a rental house; we owned. their other three neighbors were
widows who had been in those houses for a really long time, and their peace was
being disturbed by a macho dork. If anyone stood to lose a child over child
welfare issues, it was this family with the cop car so often out front.
I could have just called the police, but they seemed clearly ot to be
tooconcerned about police visits.
After the day I went there, I never heard them have another fight, but I did
see a police car there once a few months later. I hope she called before the
yelling even got going. I was really angry that morning, and came back and
called Keith and asked him to come home and talk to the guy which he did, in a
calm guy-way, as they leaned on Keith's big pickup (from which the next year
the neighbor borrowed the spare so they could move <g>). I hope her little boy
grew up okay. He's 15 or 16 now.

right now, I also understand the frustration of not wanting to wait around
for the cops, but really, it's usually a wise policy! (Once in awhile a
neighbor will ask me to call the cops on someone so she's not the ONLY one calling,
and I try to oblige.)
