My neighbor called the police on me

No it seems like they were being rude doing that. They could’ve asked if everything is okay themselves if they are that concerned. Unless your child is screaming like crazy, there is swearing and loud banging noises they could just knock on your door and ask themselves first.

@Marie My thoughts exactly! And I’ve been here for almost a year and just about every morning cause my daughter is like me not a morning person she cry’s the whole 30 mins all the way to the car when I’m getting her ready and now all of a sudden the police is at my house. The police even called it a “ odd call” he said “ well she looks fine and that’s what toddlers do they cry”

@Tiauna I agree. I am sorry you have to go through that. People shouldn’t be calling the police over just kids crying, that’s what toddlers & little kids do. Hopefully they don’t again. They can get in trouble if they keep calling for nothing. Cops don’t like to be bothered either unless it’s something they are needed for. Also it’s a misdemeanor to call CPS on people for no reason so if they do that just bc of crying without probable cause they can be charged. If you see them or want, just ask them to please talk to you first/ knock on your door first & not just call police.

Exactly, I’m not even sure who it was but I definitely want to find out even if I know I on doors and be like “ if my child crying is bothering you please come talk to me and not all the police on a toddler crying”

after 4 days moved in to my new home a neighbor call the police on me because my son was hysterical crying . the reason was i was brushing his teeth. i got so mad at they that i’m living here now for 6 months and probably the rest of my life and i haven’t never spoke with those people.. but at the same time happy that still there is people thst worry about someone children

Sounds extreme! Neighbor is nosey asf and obviously had no experience with kids!

Sum people have nothing better to do than report other people and cause trouble.have they had kids of their own?then again maybe they wer genuinely worried.depends on their intentions.wait a year and report them for something.

@Justine yes I would rather them come knock on my door and ask if she’s okay or pop their heads out and see what’s going on … toddlers are just dramatic sometimes and it is what it is

Neighbors are an asshole karen. Unless she's screaming bloody murder or your raising your voice at baby causing them to scream or cry louder there is no reason for anyone to get involved. I know this happened to one of my friends who has a karen neighbor and it go to the point the neighbor would call the cops so often the police department would just call my friend and ask if everything was okay vs wasting resources or a stupid call. Even got to the point in the end the police told the neighbor if she called again she would be arrested.

@Paige yeah it’s ridiculous, the officer that came to the door seems annoyed with the whole thing he’s like “ that’s what kids do they cry” smh 🤦🏾‍♀️ and that’s all that was reported “ I heard a child crying in the hallway “ 🙄

Yeah it’s a downside to living in apartments. I was actually glad the neighbor right next to me was deaf tbh when I lived in one. There was a really old lady who screamed at me & filed a complaint just bc I parked by the apartment building she lived in across from my building to visit a friend there for 30 minutes, when there is no assigned parking & the lot was full. Then i heard her yelling at the maintenance crew for working by “her” building. I got complaints for my cat meowing too loudly too during the day by people upstairs who would fight all night sometimes 😣 ppl in apartments can be petty. At least the officer realized how ridiculous it was that they called police.

That’s just pitiful. They are pathetic for that

@Marie yeah I’m moving into a house in a couple months sooo I’m thrilled about that it was just very annoying

Yes !! My son had super curly hair as a baby , and it would get matted no matter what I used . He got over a dozen bristle blocks tangled in his hair and he was freaking out . I was trying to get them all out of his hair but he was screaming as if someone was amputating his toes . I get a knock on the door and it’s the cops asking to do a welfare check. I was so annoyed , —/-but sure come in and I handed the cop the comb and a pair of scissors and pointed at my screaming toddler , good luck let me know how many you can get out without him Screaming … They just laughed gave my son a sticker and left .

@Tiauna go to management and report them for calling the police on you for your daughter crying cause she didn’t feel well while walking to your apartment. There should be something written or a rule like every place I’ve ever rented that you don’t call the cops, you first talk to the neighbor and if it doesn’t help you go to management first. And don’t call on ridiculous petty crap. Talk to your management about how they called the cops on you!

@Kayle yeah absolutely! I never thought to mention it to the office but I definitely should because it’s ridiculous

@Pita yes my daughter is mixed and her hair gets tangled up and she cries to so I understand! But yeah the police thought it was ridiculous to he even stated “ that’s what kids do sometimes , they cry” smh

@Tiauna I understand that. My cousins little ones are mixed. I’m not mixed but I was always somehow getting my hair matted like crazy that my mom was tempted to shave my head, sit there with a hairbrush and comb and hair de tangler for over an hour brushing my hair out so he didn’t have to cut it and I was screaming so hard that the neighbor called CPS or the cops. One of them. But ended up having CPS and the cops on different occasions. I highly recommend to report to your leasing manager/ management. That’s trashy she acts like that instead of having more class and being an adult, sounds like she loves drama. You need to put a stop to it before it gets out of hand. Report it, and how she’s been out of line.
