    Child neglect situation on my street, what do i do?
    This couple that live on my street have custody of a pre teen girl on my street. The husband and wife leave early in the morning, and they make the girl sit on the doorstep until her school bus arrives, which is usally 90 mins in the morning.

    When she gets home from school, she is made to sit on the doorstep until the husband or wife come home, which is another 90 mins in the afternoon.

    This has been going on for the last 4 or 5 months.

    My wife went over and asked if she was okay and why she was outside all the time. The little girl said she was fine and that she has to stay outside because the people she is living with dont trust her. She said that she can go inside to use the restroom, but that is all.

    The husband and wife are total psychopaths. The guy goes in his garage and hits a speed bag for 2 hours straight. I can hear him yelling from inside his house when i go outside.

    What can I do? The kid isnt being beaten (that i can tell). Her life isnt in danger. She has access to food and shelter, but this is a clear case of neglect. I feel horrible for her, and i know these morons are going to fuk up this little girl.

    Tough one man. With my job we HAVE to call child services even in a case like that. Really sometimes its a good thing we have to call. Idk man....its really up to you. The fact your even debating what to do says a lot about your level of character, most don't even give a fak.

                It doesn't sound like she is in danger. I'd stay out of it.

                  Neglect?

                  Sounds like the brat is being punished for being a brat...

                  Probably a thief or doing things behind their back...

                    If Rob has her schedule down and the times the couple come and go leaving her there.....chances are some perv in the area might as well ...and with a preteen girl......I'd at LEAST call the cops once while shes outside and see if maybe they'll do something in the way of child endangerment since shes that young and left vulnerable to being snatched.

                    I have a little girl so maybe I'm just 'that protective dad' but better safe then not.

                        This is the best option. Call the cops, tell them the situ and let them handle it. It's on them if shit happens.

                                    Use good judgement but I would rather error on being a snitch than find out later the girl is beaten or worse

                                      Take her a jacket or a blanket. Sounds stupid. But those are definitely alternatives if you don't want to go the child services route.

                                          Write to the Police.

                                          Copy the local paper in too.

                                            youre probably going to get her beaten for telling you their business.

                                                It's probably borderline...but considering the kid's that age let the police make the call. If it's nothing to it, the cops move on and nothing comes of it...but if it is a legal safety issue....then they can help.

                                                I would think that since they are legally responsible for her...advising her to stay outside like that is some form of neglect. Have to show reasonable judgement as a guardian.....I can't stop for gas on a road trip and leave my toddler in the car unattended to go inside and piss and buy a pepsi...even if I left the air/heat running and locked the doors and took extra set of keys inside with me......99.999% of the time nothing happens but the one time it did..I'd be charged because it was neglect/endangerment.

                                                I'd make the call.

                                                      If there is any question about this child's well-being.. err on the side of caution and contact Child Protective Services.

                                                        Snitch? Do some of you live in a sandbox?

                                                        Error on the side of caution and go to the police and tell them the situation. Chances are they can talk sense to one of the parents. And the police will not give you away, just call them up and tell them the situation.

                                                        Snitch? Bunch of adolescence.

                                                          i would politely tell these neighbors what you think about stalkers and her schedule. maybe they haven't thought of that because they're dumb.
                                                          you will look a little bit like a stalker. but maybe that freaks them out and they let her hang out inside.

                                                            I think this is a possibilty. These people arent wound to tight and anything could set them off.

                                                              If that's the case, Rob then should would get beaten for something else. You need to tell.

                                                                Maybe have the wife gain her trust? Keep in mind that there are two sides to ever story, her saying "they don't trust her" there has to be some reason behind it.

                                                                There are two pre-teen girls here that run wild in the neigborhood and one day they set fire to a blind ladies back yard, another time they busted out some windows out of a house.

                                                                Girls are not always easy to deal with.

                                                                With all that Rob I really don't know the answer.
