Q: i live in passaic cty nj rent an apt nextdoor neighbor beats gf and i can hear the screams and beatings
i am afraid for her an her baby but also worried i don't want this guy to come after me not sure what to do if i call cops he will know its either me or other neighbor and i am afraid of this guy too - what can be done - should i tell landlord of building? i don't want to get involved but i also don't want her to end up dead - and it is disturbing in more ways than one for me to listen to this
A: Your best bet is to call the police while it is happening. It is very very rare for a criminal to take retribution on a witness and generally the cops will not tell them anyway who the informant was.
