Hi guys,

I live in an appartement, and we live at the 4th floor, below us on the 3rd floor there is a familly living, and they have something like 5/6 children.

Almost 3 to 4 times a week, we ( my familly) hear loud screamings, crying and doors hitting hard, the most recent event was yesterday when one of their children ( a girl ) was screaming ''please don't!'' after that there was only loud crying etc.

And I was wondering if I should be calling(anonymously) child support and tell them about a possible child abuse?
 
Have you thought about popping down with a box of biscuits, Bo? Would give you a chance to get a feel for what's actually going on and they might really appreciate a friendly neighbour if they're struggling with looking after so many kids. Then if you get the sense that all is seriously not well, you can make the call with more confidence.

The noise from my house on bath night you'd think we were slitting someone's throat. Switching off the TV has also been known to cause screaming and door slamming. Four times a week does seem a bit much though...mind you, if they've a toddler who is regularly missing a nap...

Well here lies the problem, they are foreign and religious (muslim) and we sometimes bring things like cake and stuff, and they sometimes bring stuff to us, we have never seen their mother though and we live here like 8 / 9 years, it's as if she is hiding...considering that my familly has a muslim background, it's custom that the mother of the house has her place in the kicthen, cooking and cleaning, and pretty much nothing else, maybe that's the reason she ain't showing herself?

Also worth noting is that these neighbours from the 3rd floor had and still have a lot of fights with the people from the 2nd floor. It went so bad one day that the police had to come over and kick in their doors. (they were treating eachother with knifes and stuff...)

There is lots of jealousy, anger etc going on between them.

The ones at third floor are from Morocco the ones from the second floor are from Turkey.

And sadly the children are targets of anger, at least that's how it looks like.
 
Call the authorities and tell them that you have good reason to believe that abuse is occurring.
