Should I get involved with my neighbors’ conflicts (abuse)?

Question by RaginCajun: Should I get involved with my neighbors’ conflicts (abuse)?
I live in an apartment complex, and I just heard my neighbors (a couple living together) fighting. The girl was screaming, “Help!” and “What are you doing!?” and I heard something that sounded distinctly like slapping. The girl then proceeded to run downstairs and ask another neighbor for their phone. The guy followed her and asked her what she was doing. She said, “You ****’ing hit me! You hit me in the nose!”

He succeeded in talking her out of calling the police, and they returned to their apartment. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard them get rough like this. Sometimes they are drunk and act like this as well.

I was going to call the Sheriff’s department, but decided not to since my husband is at work for the night, and I’m scared of getting involved without him here.

So what should I do? Call the police tomorrow? Can I call and remain anonymous?
I had to listen closely (and be nosey) at my door to understand what the yelling was all about. By the time I got the gist of what was going on and that they weren’t just drunk and horsing around, she was already at another neighbor’s door. I thought she was going to take care of the problem herself, but he talked her out of it.

By then it was too late for me to call and have the police walk up on it.

Call 911 honey. That’s not going to stop. Tell your husband what you’re doing. Tell the police that for obvious reasons you want to remain anonymous. But call. The woman’s too insecure to get help herself, and you couldn’t forgive yourself now that you know what’s going on, if something worse happened to her.

The biggest thing wrong in our society is that people don’t want to get involved. I’m proud of you!
