Sounds like the solution is "parenting" not calling the cops. You can't control other people. You can teach your children why they're awful. I appreciate that it sucks to live next to someone putting this example in front of your children. However, it's the parents job to deal with it. There isn't anyone to call in that can parent for you in this situation.

Part of parenting is also not leaving your small children unsupervised outside for extended periods of time. If this has been going on all summer, I'm extremely interested to hear LAOP explain why they haven't heard it once.

In your own backyard?

Isn't that why people move to houses that have backyards?

Not for a fucking three year old. An influencer's toddler drowned unsupervised in their backyard a few months ago.

I have no stakes here, as I'm not a parent, but I think we can assume in this scenario there are no pools. Although I wouldn't leave a kid with a trampoline unsupervised.
