OMG!

that reminded me of what happed last year (I think I posted it). A BABY & little girl were outside alone. The little girl was trying to get into the house but couldn't.. both kids were crying for 30 mins. We kept an eye on them & then called the police as enough was ENOUGH!

The police went over to the house (the kids were finally in the house, but the mother left the BABY outside for an extra 15 mins alone!!!).

The damn police officers walked RIGHT to our house!! (thats all we needed was for the mother to know who called the police on her) They YELLED at us!! & said the kids were out ther for no longer then 5 mins & that we should have gone over & delt with it!!!!
We argued back telling them it takes 30 mins or more to get the trailer out of the garage, fill the tires, fill the trailer, test the trailer, cover the trailer, hook it up to the car properly, & park it outside the house. The kids were outside crying LONG before we went outside to deal with the trailer (I have no idea just how long the kids really were out there, before we spotted them).

The next day the grandfather came over to our house (the mothers father, they live nextdoor to eachother). I thought it was going to be a war, but he was just VERY concerned & wanted to hear our story before he judged anyone (he sounded like a caring man). We told him what we saw & how long the kids were alone for. He was quite angry (not at us), he said he hasn't seen this behaviour before in his daughtor, but will NOW keep an eye on things & thanked us for being caring neighbours!

Oh ya, after the 2 police officers left I called their supervisor REALLY pissed off (I tried not to yell at him). I asked that the 2 officers need to be spoken to RIGHT NOW & to NEVER treat anyone with such dissrespect ever again! Nor to walk up to the house that made the call & yell at them!! I said that experiece is almost enough to NOT call the police for anything & when who is to blame if the kids were hit by a car?? (besides the parents of course).

Like I said before, its pretty darn bad the the hells angels Police Officers are FAR better officers then the regular police officers.. Its also kind of scary too.
