60 and sunny out, so my husband and I made breakfast and picked up coffee to have a nice breakfast on the porch. We were discussing our plans for the day, and all of a sudden we heard the woman two houses down screaming “don’t touch me, don’t F*CKING touch me” as loud as she could. I have never heard fighting like that in my entire life. We weren’t sure what to do so we ended up calling 911.

Update: I felt pretty guilty after I called the police, because I thought I overstepped. About 30 seconds later we heard a shrieking scream and then the woman shouted “she’s my daughter, who are you? Don’t ever lay hands on her again”. After that, I felt better about my decision. This wasn’t a typical family disagreement. Police showed up about 5 minutes later with 3 different squad cars. My brother in law has experience in social work, he thinks that means police might have had to make a visit before- I don’t know if that’s true or not. Anyone have insight? They questioned them for a few minutes, left, and then the screaming stopped. No one was arrested. I just hope they are all okay!

Never heard fighting like that in your entire life? Damn, that makes me feel horrible. That was mild in my childhood. ?

As a 911 Operator, you made the right call. Even if it's nothing, in my experience it's way better to be safe than sorry.

I did something similar, the police already new the guy on first name basis. It sucks, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
