- Most definitely neighbors should intervene when they know there is child abuse and if they do not then they are enablers and as guilty as the party giving the child abuse. As adults and whether one has children or not it is all of our duties to report child abuse to Child Aid or the police. Children have few rights and are often afraid to say anything to anyone about the abuse so it is up to other adults to protect them. An added piece of information is if the parents are confronted the child will generally run to their abuser if Child Aid or the police come rather than the parent that is not abusing them. It is important to watch the eye contact of the child as they will sometimes fearfully look at their abuser for direction if any questions are asked.
