I finally filed a complaint
Our next door neighbors are totally reckless when it comes to their kids. I've seen the kids in a 3' deep above ground swimming pool unattended when they were 1 and 3... Riding trykes in the middle of the street when they were 2 and 4... now that they're 3 and 5, they've graduated to jumping in the middle of the road, throwing their hands up and stopping traffic! They do this about twice a week. Traffic goes by here at about 55 mph and includes loaded logging trucks, milk haulers, and others who simply can't stop on a dime to avoid a child.
I finally decided if I don't call I'm going to feel as guilty as they should feel if something happens to those kids. So I just got off the phone with the local sheriffs dept about it. They said they'll send someone out if there's anyone close enough to respond quickly, or will call the house and tell whatever adult is there to get outside and watch those kids. It just makes me sick to my stomach to see those 2 running unwatched like they do. Even if their parents don't care, I don't want to see them get run over! So if I'm a witch for turning them in, so be it. At least I'm going to try to do something before someone gets hurt or worse.
