Show them, but tell them you will not release the video to confront him, but they can now watch to catch him in the act. With the world thr way it is these days we all have to watch out for kids. You woukd regret not saying anything if you find out He gets shot at a house a house party

How close are you to the neighbor? If it was one of my neighbors, heck yeah I’d tell her, but one I don’t really know…mind my business
Mind your business unless you have a personal relationship with them. If y’all don’t talk and you walk over there to rat someone out except problems.

It takes a village to raise a child - the child is not sneaking out to study, tell the parents! If it was my child please tell me

Guess I’m the odd ball out. I’d wanna know if it was my kid. With how the world is today anything could happen. You could prevent so many things. What happens the next time he sneaks out? If something were to happen at all I’d personally feel guilty for not speaking up. I think informing the parents seems to be the right thing to do.

If you’d want them to tell you if your child was doing it then I’d say yeah tell them. Because sneaking out nowadays at any age is very dangerous and it truly takes a village.

My best friend when I was in 8th grade snuck out of her house one night and went to a party and on the way home she was killed in a car accident! It’s hard knowing the situation he is in but I think back to that night often and I definitely would want to know.

That’s a rough one because today’s world is SCARY, but how would you feel if something happened to the child while he was sneaking out and you saying something maybe could’ve stopped it? I understand people say mind your business but… thats someone’s baby. Today kids are being shot left and right and taken from all over.

Mind your business nosey. That’s not your kid. When that shit hits the fan you’re not gonna be in THEIR home
I would be worried if I was the neighbour that you could see my sons bedroom window

Although you may have good intentions telling the parents, it could backfire. They could say you were being a creeper by having it face towards their son’s window. Some parents live in complete denial and could turn on you and try to make you in the wrong

You don’t really know neighbors that are close enough to see their son sneaking out… Hmmm.
Do not mind your business. Children are everyone’s business…hence “it takes a village”. Tell them.

Mind your own business you don’t know how he is treated behind closed doors or the consequences. Unless you know them and you know nothing will happen to him then speak up. Reason I say this is a close friend of mine would get beat and no one knew until she finally spoke up when she came to school with bruises .

Leave them a note. Just say that you are a concerned neighbor and you saw him sneaking out (date and time) and wanted them to know. Write in cursive, then they’ll know it’s a legit adult.
No more. No less. They can choose to ignore or handle the situation, but in the end you’ll feel better.

What if something happened? You could very well save him from something bad happening to him, if you say nothing, if something by chance happens to him, you would feel incredibly guilty, I would show the parents.

I would tell them because it could save his life if he is out doing things he shouldn’t be and the parents can get a control over it now before it’s to late. But after you tell them and you see nothing has changed then I wouldn’t say anything a second time… it is what it is then…

I would want to know as a mother. And for everyone else saying why do you have it facing the sons window. I have a side camera also and is wide range of seeing my surroundings. It’s not like this person is literally using the camera to spy on this child.
I would personally just talk to them about it. Good luck
Y’all are so nosy. You all act like you’ve never done anything wrong especially as a kid

As a parent I’d want to know. Also what if he sneaks out again an he ends up doing drugs, stealing or something even worse like getting killed or kidnapped. I’d definitely say something. You could ask your neighbor did your son have something to do such date/such time. I saw him going out the bedroom window & was wondering if the doors weren’t working.

As a mom & as a teen that snuck out & quite often out myself in some very sketchy situations I had no business being in at such a young age, I’d have to speak up. W the way the world is, especially now, so many bad things could happen. If something were to happen and you found out, it’d probably eat at you that you didn’t say nothing to possibly prevent it.

When my kid was about 2 my neighbor told me he caught him standing in the window (1st floor but not ground level, maybe 10 feet up) and he thought I should know. He said he didn’t want to yell at him to get down because he didn’t want me to be mad but, he was terrified my kid would fall. I said, “Thank you for telling me but, if you ever see him doing something like that again, you have my full permission to do what you think is necessary so he’s safe. I’d rather a few hurt feelings than to be sitting in the ER with him”

I would definitely want to know. And maybe I wouldn’t do anything right away, I’d reevaluate some things with my parenting and figure out how best I want to approach it. But I would be grateful for the knowledge at least.
TelI his parents!!! I used to sneak out all the time and my neighbors always snitched on me if they saw me lol it’s apart of the game those are the moments he will grow from
Mind your business just mind your business that’s all I can say don’t be a messy Karen ass neighbor I promise it will not work out the way you’re thinking it will
Stay in your lane . Unless he is bothering you leave it .
You being a rat will just end up getting your windows ruined or something potentially vandalized .

I know some people are saying "mind your own business " but with the sketchy crap going on with our kids these days, I would say something. Things are not like they used to be. We all cry when we need that village. Be someone in that village who cares because if something happens, you may have some major regret. Good luck!
