Have you knocked on her door?
How long have you known her? Do you have a contact number for your neighbour? Give her a call. |

have you knocked on her door, chatted to the other neighbors, tried to contact her in the school if you know where it is? if you are worried please do contact someone. |

It can do no harm to ring cops. As for your post reharding society i feel far too often folk turn away from others in need or trouble which i feel is terrible.
Few yr back i made a stand against a group of druggies who were threatening an old lady to get money off her i intervened and made sure she got home safe and rang cops.
Unknown to me i had been followed and was attacked by the group. I testified and a few got sent down.
Would i do it again too bloody true i would folk have to make a stand. |

Its a sign of the times which is so sad.
Once everyone grew up in close knit communties but they have disintergrated over the years.
When i first moved here 30+ yrs ago, everyone knew wveryone, street parties and get togethers all the time. I used to offer to go to the shop for those who couldnt manage it.
Now sadly thats gone, i havent been in my garden for two years...i dont venture out the door or see anyone...has anyone knocked my door to see if im ok....NO .
anything could have happened but then those folk who would have knocked are no longer there. A street full of non caring strangers has taken the place of a community that cared. 
Go knock and say hello , if no answer,check with the police  |

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Community spirit is a much less social creature today. I speak to only a handful of my neighbours, there are so many horrible people living here now so many of us tend to keep themselves to themselves. |

"You could do so on a non emergency number just for your own piece of mind. Better action than non action. "
