What do you do if you hear domestic violence coming from your neighbour's house?

Question

Specifically, what do you do if you can hear its a woman hitting her husband?

Answer 1

I call the cops on them. It doesn't matter who the attacker is, and it's sexist to assume that it does.

Answer 2

Call the police.  Let them determine what to do about it.

Answer 3

Call the cops, I'd do it even if it happened vice versa too.

Answer 4

Call the police.  Some neighbors will go over and try to see what is going on.

Answer 5

If the woman is hitting her husband, i would call the police just as if the man was hitting her of any of them hitting the children.

Or the children hitting them too:P

Answer 6

The guy will call the cops when he feels like it.

Answer 7

what would i do if i saw a women hitting her husband? i'll video tape it on my phone and watch it for a laugh whenever im feeling down.

Answer 8

I've heard lots more serious than that.

We once lived next door to a family who used to bang and hammer all night and even try to drill through the party wall with their Black & Decker. Absolute nutters.

Answer 9

I'd call the cops, although they'd very likely just arrest the man unless they see the violence in action.  But that's the best option to take.

Answer 10

i will call the police from a telephone boot without telling my name becoz if one day, u are living happily in ur house, the offender(the hubby or the wife)  can suddenly enter your house attack you for having informed the police. we can never know the real mentalily of your neighbours. its difficult to thrust people nowadays. BUT I WILL SURELY INFORMED THE POLICE!!!

Answer 11

I would call the police if it got really bad. no matter who is hitting. I am sick to death of anyone hitting and hurting people they love that goes for BOTH genders.

Should I NOT care just because it's a woman hitting her husband? should I just turn my back and say OH WELL.

I did that with my parents because I LOVE them BOTH Now my dad is dead and I could have stopped his abuse but I was didn't because i had FEAR of my parents.  NOT anymore if I hear someone getting hurt I will help them. NO matter who is hitting who. God Bless

Gold Digger my Mom BROKE my dad's jaw and you know why? she wanted to hurt him. he was 250 lbs she was 95 pounds OPEN your eyes BOTH genders can and are violent. my dad was proof of that. he did NOTHING to her that day NOTHING but she broke his jaw. violence is a human problem NOT a gender one.

Answer 12

sure Golddigger.  its always the man's fault with you.  isn't it?  you could never imagine that the chick might actually be the abuser.  could you?  every single time you always take the chick's side against the dudes.  no matter who's at fault.

you are right about one thing, though.  when the cops arrive they'll probably arrest the boyfriend and treat the chick like the victim even though she's doing the abuse!  that's the feminist double-standard we dudes live with today.

Answer 13

send the cops... the womans probly in danger an needs help...  if the shes doing any hitting u can be sure its self defence...  the cops got to arest that sob husbend or boyfrend of hers b4 he hurts her...

Answer 14

call the police if anyone is hitting anyone.

Answer 15

I don't know how you would know if the woman was hitting her husband, but you should report the abuse.  It isn't okay for a woman to be abusive.  

For future reference, abusive women do not usually resort to physical violence.  Abusive women are more likely to be mentally abusive.

Answer 16

Call the police.  What else would one do?

Answer 17

Id call the cops.

Answer 18

Call the cops.....doesnt matter that it's a female or male getting beaten.  Really should it? No.

Answer 19

tip off the police

Answer 20

I hope Donna P uses the same logic when it comes to woman who are abused, it just show she has no idea about domestic violence.

Answer 21

Call the police anonymously.

Answer 22

Call the polica anonymously.

Answer 23

I've been in the situation twice where I could hear "domestic violence" coming from my next door neighbors.  Both times I called 911 and then headed over there to see if I could extract the person in danger.  I must stress that this was a STUPID decision on my part, BOTH TIMES!  However, I would do so again, because NO ONE deserves to live that.  The first time it was a man threatening his girlfriend with a knife, the second time it was a woman throwing things at her husband.  Both times I was able to extract the person in danger before the police arrived.  In both instances, the police arrested the abuser.  There was no difference in how they treated the offenders or how they questioned the victims.  The woman did receive less punishment than the man, but she was throwing "non-deadly" objects while the man was using a knife.  

I do agree that overall women are still being charged less and getting lighter sentences for DV, but I do believe we are on the right track getting society to understand that bad people do bad things and that evil isn't gender specific.

Answer 24

I call the cops if I hear hits connecting no matter what.

Answer 25

call the police either way!
