Abuse...
Okay, I need some answers to my first question before I can take this where I want to.
So here goes: If you knew your neighbor was beating on his wife and/or kids, would you do anything about it?

Walk over with a bat,, then call Child Services. 
But seriously,,, if you are 100% sure, make that call right away. The faster the process can start, the faster those children will get a healthy living and growing environment. And it is a Very Long process.

I used to work in a daycare while I was in college. It was the law, that any abuse (even suspected) be reported to the CPS.
I don't know what the laws are in other states.

Furthermore what happens if the domestic violence escalates? Both women and children are far more likely to be killed by a family member than anybody else.
I bet you would feel pretty crappy if the kids went to the hospital with brain trauma and ended up vegetables because you didn't do something to stop it. I bet you would even worse if either the wife or kids died.

in many places...if you know and don't report it...you are just as guilty as the one doing the beating.....speak up for those who haven't or can't....nobody deserves to be beat. do you part to stop this!

We have a long history of compassion and charity. We have always stood for right. The engraving on the Statue of Liberty says, in part, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.........".
We do not mind our own business while our neighbors and children are beaten. We do not turn the other cheek while injustices are suffered by others.
This attitude is shameful.

im not saying what it is happening is right.
if i would do anything i would go over to the house when i heard it and see what i could do. but im not making any phone calls and getting mixed up in that legal mess.

ahhh....the new American way....just don't get involved regardless of the costs.
I'm amazed when I watch shows that show the reality of police trying to find witness to a crime and nobody wants to get invovled...they would rather the criminal remain free and able to strike again than to take some time to tell what they know or to take action to prevent injustice.
and we wonder why things are in the shape they are.
