Background information: My significant other and I recently moved to a new apartment. Near us lives a couple in there late 20s/ early 30s with two young children (2 yr old and 4yr old). These neighbors have gotten into some extreme arguments over the past couple months. I’m talking screaming at the top of their lungs, cursing, banging, children and wife crying type of arguments. We have repeatedly heard the man say things like “Get the fuck away from me” to either his children and wife in a loud voice with a menacing tone. Keep in mind out walls are thick, and we can’t hear people unless they are doing something like yelling or crying. There have been instances where the children have cried for hours straight. They constantly smoke cigarettes with there children around them. All in all the environment is extremely toxic and we believe abusive. The other night things escalated extremely quickly in their apartment. We heard angry yelling and cursing again while the children cried hysterically. At one point we heard a thump, and then the mother begin to cry. I am almost positive I heard her say “you hit me in the head” while crying and continuing to argue. Needless to say I called the police and requested a wellness check. The police came very quickly. They knocked once. Then again. Then again. A female officer yelled “(town name) Police!” Still nothing. The knock became a bang. Another male officer yelled that they weren’t leaving and to open up. The mother finally opened the door after around 2 minutes of knocking. She immediately began to tell them she didn’t consent to searches and all of that. I heard the husband explaining what happened saying something along the lines of “I told her sorry”. They spoke for about 10-15 minutes at the door. Finally they spoke to the children and then left soon after. I’m not sure what exactly resulted from the call, but there was no noise in the apartment after that. The next day, not a peep but I did hear a baby cry. I should add that I noticed today that the family that lived under them recently moved out. Probably because of their antics.
Just wanted to get this craziness off of my chest and to see if anyone has similar experiences. Also, should we call again in the future if we think it’s out of control or should we approach the situation in a different manor?
tl;dr Neighbors with young kids fighting violently. Called cops. They didn’t answer door and then did. Cops left and now I am left with anxiety.
