> If you think a neighbor is being abused but are not sure then just be their friend and communicate with them (you're neighbors, it's reasonable for you to have each other's phone numbers and email addresses) until you can discern whether or not you are correct. This "wait and see" approach gets people killed. Personally, I'd far rather be investigated for something I didn't do than have someone else die because a third party didn't act on their suspicions. Hunches can be wrong, but they come from somewhere, and they're often right. Furthermore, abusers are good at getting their victims to never tell anyone about what happens, and often at hiding or destroying evidence, too.
