In this story, a man got into conflict with his neighbor when her daughter tried to retrieve her basketball from his yard.

The neighbor called the police and reported him for child endangerment.

Things escalated further when the neighbor and other adults later showed up drunk, shouting insults outside his home.

Yikes! Read the full story below to find out what happened next.

AITAH for calling the cops on my neighbors kids birthday party

I obviously know how this may sound.

Recently, my neighbor and I have been going back and forth.

It has mostly been petty things like noise complaints.

I do not want to give much info about myself. I (26M) have a 7-year-old daughter.

This man heard the neighbor scream at his daughter.

Last week, my daughter was outside playing basketball. The ball came into her driveway.

My daughter wanted her ball back, so she went to get it.

My neighbor started being loud at her. I do not want to say screaming, but it was pretty close to that.

Anyway, I heard this outside. The neighbor started screaming at me.

She said that my child needs discipline.

The neighbor threatened to call the police for child endangerment.

She lives across from me. My daughter had to cross the road to retrieve her basketball.

I was not outside to supervise her crossing the street.

The neighbor threatened to call the police on me.

She said it was for child endangerment.

The cops realized it wasn’t that serious.

When the cops got the call, they heard that a little girl was in danger.

They got to my neighbor’s house pretty fast.

Because of the false noise complaints, they interviewed me and my child separately.

They realized this lady is just full of crap.

His daughter was wondering what she had done wrong.

Now, it is three days after. My daughter was wondering what she did wrong.

She was not invited to the neighbor kid’s birthday party.

The neighbor and the other drunk adults there started being hysterical.

They decided to come on my lawn. They screamed insults at me.

was mostly willing to let it pass.

The neighbors continued to insult his daughter.

Then, they saw my child peek out the window.

They said something along the lines of:

“Someone’s daddy does not love them enough to watch them cross the street.”

This was the last straw for me.

He decided to call the police and report the neighbors.

I called the police. I reported that multiple intoxicated adults were screaming at my house.

I also reported that they left a kid unattended outside. The police arrived about 10 to 15 minutes later.

The adults were in the backyard. The police heard my story.

They then got the drunken, slurred version of their story.

I had ring camera footage. They were drunk and lying.

The neighbors were cited for trespassing.

I ended up getting them trespassed from my property.

I just feel terrible for the little girl across the street.

She had to watch her parent and relatives talk to a police officer.

This happened on her birthday. She should have been celebrating instead.

Wow! Karma really does have a way of coming back quickly.

We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again… If you’re doing something wrong, staying quiet is usually the smarter move.

Otherwise, you might end up exposing yourself without even realizing it.

Indeed, right?
