Next door neighbours abusing their 2 adopted daughters of 10.."not sexually" Advice please?

Question

In the Summer of 2007 me, my wife, and two daughters of 10&4yrs moved in to this 4 bed semi detached house in a cul-de-sac on a new build site in a small town in the North East of the UK, the house's are private and when we acquired it, it was our dream home and already coming from the town it was perfect.
To make things better, our neighbours(in the area) were really nice and offered their help in moving, our next door neighbours(from coventry) were nice to and also offered to help.
The farther is abt 40 easy going and works at the national grid as some sort of safety bloke, mum is abt 40ish as well,she dose not work, they have two daughters that are my daughters age-10, they all go to the same school so my daughter was really happy, the two daughters are in fact twins and we learned that they were adopted as babies, i thought good on them, they seem really nice family.

As the first few weeks went on, things were ok till we started to hear a lot of banging and screaming coming from the house, this happened EVERY NIGHT from 7 till 11 at night, at first we thought nothing of it and carried on with life.

The noise got so bad one night i went around, rang the door bell in a carlm manor,i was concerned if anything.. dad came to the half opened front door..he apologised and said ill tell them "the kids" to keep it down, i thought it was the kids just playing up!
After me going round things did calm down, in the mean time the two twins started to keep to themselves at school and at home, my daughter said "they have stopped talking to me" we said "don't worry you have do nothing wrong" i started to think me going round has caused a bit of a atmosphere.
We started to notice how much of a tip the garden was, bearing in mind these were brand new properties, the windows were filthy, if we tip toe over the fence you can see in to the kitchen...it looks like something of life of grime, it really is a mess.

More important we noticed the kids looking dirty,grease hair, wearing the same clothes all the time, i know every ones different but my daughter likes to look nice.

The noise go so bad on night i made a decision to call the police, the kids were screaming and i could hear the mother shouting and screaming "come hear you fkin little bstrds"it sounded like she was in drink, it was about 10.30 and i called the police, they came and left, i contacted them, the said "mother was crawling around on the floor out of her face on red wine", they could tell as she had red staining to her mouth and teeth, the police also said " the children were on mothers bed under the duve, they were asked if they were ok, they replied Yes" dad was down satires trying to keep control of the situation but failing"
The police went on to say "as long as a responsible adult was there and no immediate danger to the children there was nothing they could do".
It stopped for a few days after that but started again, i called the police, again the same scenario in the house..no further action taken.

Again another week of screaming and banging, this one particular night i peeked over the fence, i saw mother laid on the kitchen floor F F F get off me You F B...FFFFF, you C C, dad was nelt on the floor with her, i couldn't see properly, i could hear the Kidd's screaming frantically, i call ed the cops, they came, mum and dad were having a domestic and as there were no allegations again no further action taken, although the put a re feral in to social services,and so did i, they went two yrs ago and its still going on tonight..right now.


Things are no better,ive seen mum un load her car with 3ltr boxed wine, ive herd mum say to farther on most tea times "dont bring them back till gone 7" so ive seen farther take them up to the local Morrison's for tea, while she gets wined up!
My daughters are having tea with there family at this time and getting home work done etc.

I know she is an alcoholic and dad has tried his best but he's lost interest in this family, i think its only a matter of time befor he goes.

The social must seem to think things are ok, they arnt. i think the kids are been/have been mentally scared, honesty i think the way they scream and shout and started to swear all the time and act like 5-6 yr olds,they have been severely affected by the mothers alcoholism, these two kids dont deserve this,theve had a shitty start to life as it is loosing there real parents for what ever reason,i know nothing about their real parents but i think they should be in a safe loving family unit and there not, why arnt they? there adopted, don't the agencies do follow up visits?

Is this abuse and what can i do???

Thanks for reading this.

Answer 1

Just keep on calling the police, eventually someone over there is going to get killed and you'll have the police in your face anyway, may as well try to do something about it while everyone is still breathing and able to stand upright.



Just keep calling. You never know, maybe one night the cops will actually get off their lazy **** and do their job and take someone to jail.

Answer 2

This is abuse! Get witnesses and keep trying to get the RIGHT child welfare agency involved ; get one to be in your house in the evening so they can see this for themselves. This is a disaster!

Answer 3

Notify as many child protection organisations that you can think of until something is done. Theres the NSPCC and barnardos are two that i can think of off the top of my head.

Answer 4

wat ever ur trying 2 say my parents r worse lol
