Imagine living next to awful neighbors who seem to neglect their child and who may be doing illegal things. Would you mind your own business or report them?

In this story, one couple was in this situation, and they definitely didn’t mind their own business! Several calls to CPS and the police later, and they were no longer neighbors with those losers.

Although, there is a happy ending for one of the former neighbors.

Let’s read all about it.

Terrorize my family? Enjoy losing everything and going back to jail

Myself and my wife had just had our second child and moved into a duplex in an amazing neighborhood, had its own playground even!

We moved in and greeted the neighbors, bunch of younger people but they seemed okay.

The first day after moving in we find that they’re gone and they’re left their 7 year old (on a school day) outside our door with a bag of goldfish and a note asking us to watch him while they went out.

Queue cps call #1.

The other neighbors warned them about these awful neighbors.

The neighbors and me got along really well.

Old guy next door repaired bikes for a hobby and the next door neighbor did wood working and would always come over to see the kids and sent his grand kids over to play to.

They warned us that our upstairs neighbors were trouble, constant traffic going in and out and parties every single night.

This was 110% the truth, it got to the point we couldn’t sleep at night and we had multiple altercations to the point it was full blown yelling matches.

He finally had another opportunity to report them.

The landlord was useless and would do nothing to get rid of them so I bided my time.

Eventually one night they came home in their red Mazda 3 and it was destroyed, they must have hit someone and ran, so I called the RCMP to let them know as at the very least.

I figured they’d get in deep trouble but oh man I had no idea what I had just unleashed.

The consequences for the neighbors were bad but well deserved.

Turns out the jerk had a warrant out for his arrest for drug trafficking.

He got hauled away in cuffs that night and entitled woman 2 got a visit from CPS again as they left their son home alone again.

This wasn’t once or twice it was every. Single. Day.

They discovered another problem.

So my wife went digging for names and found the mother on Facebook.

Using public record searches we found out that they owed easy home nearly 48k in assets as they had taken off from the original address with all of their furniture including tvs and a huge sound system.

48 hours later the sherrif was there with a box truck emptying their house. Took the beds, couches, tvs, the annoying sub woofer system, kitchen set and even the dressers.

CPS came shortly after and removed the child from the house.

The boy deserved better.

I didn’t enjoy seeing him taken away but they never fed him and he was always in the same clothing and it was falling apart (we went out of our way to make sure he had full meals when we could not gonna let a kid starve)

The jerk went to jail for drug possession (he was out on bail and hid the drugs in a dresser they took)

Entitled woman 1 went to jail for assaulting the sherrif and entitled woman 2 actually had a happy ending.

Good for her!

Far as I know after she lost her son she went through multiple programs to clean herself up and started working to provide for her son.

Ran into her a couple years ago and she thanked me for what I did.

I got pro revenge on the drug dealer and his girlfriend and thankfully helped someone get on the right path.

I’m glad the boy’s mom got scared straight and cleaned herself up to actually take care of her child. Good for OP and his wife for reporting the awful neighbors.

Let’s see how Reddit responded.

This person loved the story.

Another person thinks he did the right thing.

Someone who has been through recovery weighs in.

The child definitely deserves better.

The best part of this story is that the child’s mom turned her life around when CPS took him away. Instead of complaining or accepting defeat, she did what she needed to do to be the mom he needed her to be. It’s really nice that she told OP “thank you” when she saw him later.

These neighbors deserved to be reported.
