I don't know whether or not they are drug dealers, but if they are, then unfortunately, I would say that you should be worried about your family's safety.
When I was in college I lived in an apartment next to a drug dealer. While my then-boyfriend/now-husband was out of the country, some guys came by their apartment and beat up the guy and shot him in the ear (as he ran away) and held his pregnant girlfriend up at gunpoint and ran away right next to me, because I was outside walking my dog. After that ordeal, they moved but since they still had the lease, they moved their drug dealer friends in. A few months in someone shot into the apartment from the street. We weren't home but the bullet holes actually came in diagonally through our shared wall.
We know they were drug dealers because 1) a neighbor of ours bought from them and 2) the cops pretty much told us but they didn't arrest them bc you can't without proof. Like you said, this has nothing to do with doing drugs or legalization, but is about being near criminals who are consorting with other criminals.
For me, I would never bother trying to get them "caught". For one, it's unlikely you'll succeed. Two, you're just getting yourself more into that business. Lastly, I wouldn't want to piss of a potentially dangerous drug dealer.
What we did is move and that's actually my recommendation, especially if you aren't too attached to your house. I realize it's a lot of time and money but it isn't worth your family's safety. It was enough for us to move (and lose money doing so) when it was just me and SO but I would never EVER stay in that situation with a child. Nowadays, I live in a small tight-knit community with an overactive police force. Some people find it restrictive but I find it SAFE.
