Thank you for the advice, y'all. I appreciate it. I will be contacting Hawai'i's Child Welfare Service today.
It's been really quiet next door...
Sometimes when you open a can of worms, you find glow worms inside. I spoke to my parents about what had happened and both of them were quite supportive. They usually would have been worried about living next to an upset dinglecheese from now on but this time was different.
My mom thrives on conflict so she is excited about the new battles ahead.
My dad said he is upset at himself for not saying anything sooner. For him, that's huge to say something like that. He's such a good guy and like me has such a hard time with confrontation.
I hope my original post didn't come off as bragging. My older sister (see "Thither Thychic" thread) said I was when I recounted the story to her and boyfriend. Oh well. My little sister wants to beat the lady up... oy.
Family fun, y'all.

My mom told me that the abusive lady works with children as a social worker for the state... Isn't that interesting?
