    can we close this thread please

    i wont be replying anymore

    jasis you're sensitive. Maybe the scumbag isnt that bad afterall...


    if its not a council estate, is it a private house?
    Assuming said scumbag is a tenant, if so the landlord has responsibilities via RTB Although by the sounds of the gaff, the landlord couldnt give a sh1t either.

    What's the filthy fifty

    Having a run in with a neighbour is not a reason to leave a tiny child exposed to the various dangers of unsanitary conditions and apparently fairly extreme neglect. The kids welfare supersedes any adult issues.

    A junkie is someone whose whole life is hanging around using drugs, looking for drugs or sleeping,they get up late and go to sleep late .
    Theres 1000,s of people who drink too much or smoke some weed
    but they live a normal life ,they are not junkies,.
    JUNKIES think about nothing but drugs how to get it, where to get it,
    and they basically hang around with other junkies as most people will
    avoid them.
    I,M not pro drugs ,i never used em .But someone who smokes some weed is not a junkie, no more than some one who drinks a pint in a pub
    is an alcoholic .
    Theres 14000 plus registered drug addicts in dublin,most of them go to
    clinics and get legal drugs like methadone
    Theres loads of people who smoke weed on a casual basis and
    work full time in shops, factorys ,offices etc
    it has no effect on their lifestyle no more than drinking a can of beer will
    turns you into an alcoholic.
    is the filthy 50 some type of local gang.
    Its not a good idea to go to court just cos someone shouts at you ,that would be classed
    as harrassment maybe .
    On of my neighbours used to have partys every week and invite people around to drink
    and smoke weed .
    i never heard a thing , he lived about 40 yards away.
    but he really annoyed his next door neighbour alot. he was not a drug dealer.he was a single man .on a private estate.
    it was more a noise problem.
    After a few years he left the house, the bank sold the house to a nice quiet family.

    long story short , putting this up for my neighbour who is at her wits end over this , lets call her Neighbour A


    she lives next door to a dirty scumbag Neighbour B , who screams at her ( I heard her on sunday morning at 9 am , standing in neighbours
    A's garden screaming at her and her mother , now I mean she has a serious temper , her mother was a junkie and did the same to her dad for years till she left him.


    Now I know for a fact she's a pot head and is dealing , her bf is a lowlife ( member of the old filthy fifty gang ) , she has a 3 year old who curses filth aswell , up all hrs aswell , to be honest I can't even describe her as words actually don't do her justice as too how much of a lowlife she is , all windows in the back of the house are put in , being held together by tape , back garden actually is a tip and to be honest if child services were called I've no doubt they'd take the child


    thing is , Neighbour A called the police and they said all she can do is take her to court , is that it ?? this woman is a parasite , violent scumbag


    neighbour A is afraid to leave her house over her , just random outbursts and attacks , this yoke is bad seriously , I live 5 doors away so doesn't directly affect me as such , but seeing my neighbour shaking this evening was shocking


    any ideas ?

    Rather obvious no!? Call child services

    Have you ever saw Westside Story.
    Think 'The Jets' and 'The Sharks'


    As a general point to note Tusla don't comandeer children everytime an
    unsubstantiated allegation is made by one of two neighbours who don't get on. Similarly the police don't arrest people based on unsubstantiated nonsense about the filthy fifty and "Pot" dealing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,083 ✭✭✭✭Mrs OBumble


    never said the kid is in danger in the physical sence

    but you'd need a hasmat suit in that house

    the language constantly , ive often heard the kid at 11pm out in the garden calling for her dad

    she came up to me a few weeks back wearing a onesie with nothing on her feet , eating a yoghurt with her fingers , her onesie covered in it , at 10pm on the street

    You've seen all that and you won't call tulsa???

    I know who im thinking is the scummer here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 564 ✭✭✭Mr Arrior


    Call social services! No child should be dealing with that.

    We actually have a child in care (I'm currently working in Tusla) who was found at two years of age at 11pm walking around Dublin city centre looking in bins for food. Probably best I don't say any more for confidentiality etc, but he's not the only child in that family and that is the tip of the tip of the TIP of the iceberg with them - if I put some of the stuff I've seen with them, most people literally wouldn't believe it. Plenty of cases are related to the parents having their own mental health/ability (e.g. learning impaired), but some of the stuff you see in there is absolutely heartbreaking.

    For someone to see what they think are serious signs of neglect and choose to ignore it because they couldn't be arsed is inexcusable. And they'll probably be the first to give out when those kids develop their own issues as substance -and sexual- abuse issues really are a case of like-parent-like-child, it's not just a cliche). Not a social worker by the way, I'm in admin so get a snapshot of almost all the cases in our office. if the kid is left in that environment.


  • Posts: 26,219 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    The fact that the child isn't the centre of his concern is what stupefies me.

    How bad do kids have to have it for people to just pick up the phone. Here's a kid who's dirty, lives in apparent squalor, and is seriously neglected, and someone doesn't want to pick up the phone because it might cause an issue for a friend.

    Danger isn't just getting visibly kicked around, this kid is being kicked around in all kinds of ways even if not in the literal sense.

    Please, OP, call the guards about the kid.

    Gang of young gentlemen who roamed free and easy in Finglas South and West many a year ago.

    One hilarious account describes how one of them smashed his way up through the roof of his own house and spent the morning throwing slates at the local constabulary who waited till he got bored and then asked him to get off his ma's roof.

    Legend has a traveller woman placed a curse on them to end when twelve of them were dead.Hilarity ensued with motorbikes, drugs and guns and ended with twelve dead.

    I may have lived in Finglas and married a lass from there too.

    "IF someone is a drug addict the hse normally takes their children off them,as the child would be in danger or neglected "

    They don't and HSE will always try and NOT take a child and work with the parent/s to support them and keep a child with there parents if there not junkie scum weed heads ( sorry ment heroine heads) or accept treatment!

    Nevetheless the OP should report the circumstances of the child to Tusla and the Gardai. The OP should also report the behaviour of the scummy bitch towards the neighbour to the Gardai.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 721 ✭✭✭Pixelbastardo


    OP if you consider all users of drugs to be "scum". Then you're literally delusional, and therefor the light in which you've painted your neighbor cannot be taken seriously. As you are clearly very biased and potentially racist (and have a small penis ? e.g. the rage)

    Ah now,

    Why are child services a no no when the child appears to be at risk, especially at such a crucial age?

    You can contact the Gards and voice concerns over the kid, they'll more than likely do the referral to Tusla for you.

    Been there done that and yes it works. Please OP make that call..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    Step 1: Try to bury the hatchet and reconcile with her. Invite her round for tea and drop a plastic bag in front of her. When he she picks it up, have your tea, tell her she is great and go your separate ways.

    Step 2: source 10k worth of heroin. Stash it in the tip of a backgarden, inside the aforementioned bag, with her prints on it. Ring the Garda and tell them a deal is going down.

    Step 3: Have another cup of tea

    For the sake of the child please call Tusla, I know I would if I saw something similar.

    because out of fear for the other neighbour , if i call tusla or tulsa this person with 100 % know it was her neighbour and lets just say they take the kid away , u think the parents wont look for revenge ? these are low lifes trust me

    if they were never arguing with anybody then they'd be nond the wiser , but for arguments sake , throws items at window and screaming at neigjbour on a monday and all of a sudden tusla folk arrive on tuesday , you think they wont twig who called ?

    private house , she lives with her bf and her dad ( who is rarely there ) works away , so no landlord issue

    why not tell her dad ? cause she attacked him a few times , her mother was exactly the same till she left the dad , so he in a way is enabling her , he was told before by sald neighbour and was afraid to do anything

    Buy a small bag of gear, lace it with strychnine and leave it outside the front door.

    I see a small issue in your suggestion , it's harder to source and buy strychnine in Ireland legally than it is to buy heroin.

    A bloke I know told me that.

    If you live 5 doors away and have seen the child out in her pyjamas late at night, why would the neighbour automatically assume it was your friend who called Tusla? Surely if the child is wandering around, any of the neighbours can see her. You are sitting by watching a child being neglected and thinking "ah well, nothing I can do for her.. my poor friend who gets shouted at has it worse, what can I do for her?"

    Neglect is the largest type of abuse reported to Child Protection Services, because it is the one that is most visible. You don't really know what is happening the child in doors. Is she being abused? But you definitely know she's being neglected. Yet you won't do anything about that.

    If you're going to keep your nose out of it, then keep your nose right out of it. They haven't done anything to your friend that warrants garda attention. Yet you are trying to figure out how to get the guards involved. Yet you know for a fact that the child is being neglected but are happy to ignore that. You can't feign concern on one hand, and completely ignore real and actual neglect on the other.

    Mind boggling.

    Neglect IS abuse anyway, she doesn't need to have bruises to be abused. Poor kid.

    But then they'd be wrong. Because it wouldn't have been the neighbour. It would have been you, or any one of the other neighbours who can see the child.

    If the neighbour causes any damage to your friends property, then your friend can do something about it.

    Has your friend got a CCTV camera up on her house? It might be worth investing in one.
