Most police officers take the calls very seriously but really, there is only so much they can do legally. The victim has to be ready to leave, file and go through with the charges, and not to return to the abuser. Just in our one apartment building, I can not believe how many times the police have been here to our residents and sometimes they leave with 1 of the parties involved, sometimes no one leaves. As a neighbor, we can only do so much either and we have placed calls to the cops. My concern turns to the little children involved and what this is doing to them. My heart breaks when I see their sad eyes after the instances and I just ask if they are okay and do they need anything.
On the other hand, we have been cautioned not to go near where the incident is taking place nor should we identify ourselves as to having reported it.
