I think I live next door to "Dealers" - What Do I Do?

Question

I think my neighbors are cocaine dealers, but my roommates and I are unsure about what we should do because we fear for our safety.

We've never seen them deal, but we've heard some talk about it. They are illegals, about 10 in a single apt. and claim they work at "McDonald's"..Which is a LIE - we have NEVER seen them leave for work in a uniform.

I'm not even sure what to do because there are kids that live there and perhaps this is the best hope they have at a decent life, I dunno. Also, they may know we snitch. And OF COURSE they know where we live.

Please help!

Answer 1

That's no life , believe me..Theres a 90% chance they are being abused, psychically and sexually. I've seen dealers selling their children as young as 5 for extra cash . After all, they can be sold over and over again...

I say :

2  Call the cops and tape it (if they're like my department they wont do c**p) and report it to their seniors or even send it into your local paper or go higher , just dont stop

3 Call child protective services CPS (it is child abuse )

Just remeber IT IS CHILD ABUSE  and if you dont report it because you dont want to be a "snitch" Then your jsut as sad as they are!

Good luck !!!!!

Answer 2

Call the police.

Answer 3

don't get caught in the middle, chances are if they are dealing cocaine the police are already on to them if they are making enough money to not have regular jobs.  You can make an anonymous phone call to the police station just make sure to do it from a payphone.  Other than that, stay out of it.

Answer 4

ICE, call ICE or you could check into your county's rules on how many occupants can be in a single dwelling. I forget what its called but some places have rules where only so many people can be living in so many sqaure feet or rooms or whatever.  

Answer 5

Make an anonymous phone call to the police and report the details of your suspicion. Then it's up to the police to do or don't do something about it.

Answer 6

Unless you see them sell drugs such as cocaine it will be difficult to file a complaint. Since there are children living there I would contact the social service about this matter. The children should be removed from that environment.  Tell the police about this. You may not be able to prosecute but the police will watch them.

Answer 7

do you own a video cam???

USE IT

Answer 8

Ignore them. For the kids. Otherwise they will end up in the system and that is far worse.

Answer 9

we had, and still do to some extent,  problems with illegals and drugs in our town.  i am not saying that they are the only ones but they have contributed to a real problem and they do not work either.  the first tip off.

our state enacted laws to support and ENFORCE fed laws on immigration and we have had an mass exodus to other states, mainly texas to deal with it.  they may soon enact their own laws to enforce them too.

you have a real problems and i am so sorry for you.  i would bet that they are all ready on the radar of the police department.  there are hot lines you can call and remain anonymous.  that should be the first step.

the potential for danger is very real to you and others.  some drug deals don't end peacefully and plus the element that hangs around are usually into other crimes to support their habits.  

what ever you decide, i hope that all turns out well for you.  it would be good if you could move.  good luck whatever you decide.

Answer 10

If there are kids involved you can call your local child protective services (it seems to have a different name everywhere you go).  But you can make a completely anonymous report.and just because of a report they can go in and search the house for drugs.  Or anything that might be unfit for children.  and you can remain completely anonymous.  the child protective services will not reveal their source.

Answer 11

girl, best ignore them idiots. just dont ever use drugs k.
