They constantly have people in and out of their house! They have children that play with my children.. Im concerned they will some how be exposed to it, even though they are not allowed over there.

You can't punish the kids for something their parents do but you also have to watch out for your own kids. I don't know the type of area you live in or if they are running a big operation... but it's not uncommon for drug dealers to have guns (that the kids may bring out to "show" the kids) or get shot over a bad transaction so that's always a big risk. Not to mention the shady people that might be coming and going. I would call the police and report suspicious behavior and ask for them not to speak with you out in the open for fear of reprecussions. Good luck, that's a sticky situation.

If your only concern is people constantly going in/out of their house, the police might not help out. Did you see/hear/smell something that might make you suspicious? Do the parents act as if they are on something? Are the kids in otherwise any danger? There is not enough info provided here. This couple may just run a legit business out of their house. If your children play with theirs, try talking with the neighbors. But if you see anything else suspicious, by all means make an anonymous call to the police

Call the police with a anonymous call / tip so no retaliation is taken against you and let them Handel the problem. If there is something going on there the police are the ones who have a duty to keep the kids in that home and you and yours safe. Let the cops do their jobs busting druggies and do yours as a parent and a honest citizen and report it. The existing drug problems in America won't just go away if you turn a blind eye. It takes brave, honest, concerned parents and citizen
letting the police know where to look for drug users and dealers to eliminate the problem.

If and when you suspect suspicious activity, make an anonymous police call. If anyone gets arrested, you will know most likely that there were drugs or some other form of police activity involved. You can then take stronger action to keep your children away.

I moved to the country because of this. In one week in my "nice neighborhood" in Arlington there was a drive-by shooting into the house of one of my daughter's friends, went though her wall, about 4 houses down from us and then the dealer and his brother got involved in a shoot out with another car while driving down the highway and all the way to our street where his brother was shot and killed 2 houses down from us. It was too much for me. Before all this happened the cops were always at their house and they never did anything.

Call child protection services and the police dept especially if your children play with these children

I suggest that you give the authorities a anonymous call from a pay fone and let them know your reason for being anonymous and your concern for safety

I would report this family to the police and, if necessary, move. If the family is cooking methamphetamines in their home, that substance can have dangerous gases carried in the air, which can be harmful to you and your children, even if you don't go inside the house.

Call DSS, DCF, or whatever they call the child protective services in your area. They will investigate and make parents take drug tests. If drugs are only "bad" behavior, they will force regular tests to keep the kids.

well as long as they are not allowed over there your o.k...because it would be hard to stop the children's friendship, i use to have a dealer next to me also, and thank god they finally moved, you could call the cops but they want you to get the license plate numbers and car info and even the description of the ppl driving the car, so you just live with it till they move or get busted....
