Everyone’s telling me to call the POLICE over how my neighbours’ kids act – yes I’m annoyed but I think that’s a bit far
A WOMAN has explained why she doesn’t want to contact the police following her upstairs neighbours’ kids act.
Paris Wood, from London, went viral on TikTok after filming the jaw-dropping mess the children living above had made on her balcony.
According to the woman, who moved in the property a month ago, it all started with the little rascals throwing their toys onto her patio.
Paris, who was luckily indoors at the time and didn’t get injured, saw just about everything land on her part of the property.
After sharing the incident on her page, where the video has since racked up close to 8million views, the Londoner announced the ”toddlers” would not be getting their plastic and wooden toys back.
However, it wasn’t long until things took a sharp – and messy – turn, as Paris then shared a bizarre update.
”The kids have thrown tomatoes off the balcony…
”Literally what do I do!?” the young woman begged for advice, as she zoomed into the six tomatoes that had landed on her outdoor space.
The outrageous footage has since taken the internet by storm, with close to 15,000 people urging Paris to get in touch with the police.
As many urged the Londoner to chuck the ”toys in the bin” and leave the ”tomatoes on the doorstep”, furious TikTokers all came after the parents.
One viewer wrote: ”People saying this is child hate, nope, it’s parent hate.
”My mum would have told the neighbour to throw away every toy that ‘fell’ on the balcony to teach me the consequences of my actions.”
Someone else pointed out: ”Why is no adult supervising them on a balcony?”
”Contact the building manager and show them this footage. It’s dangerous,” a third recommended.
”Claim you were hit and seek damages. It’ll stop,” a social media shared their solution.
Paris has since also shared another update on the situation, claiming that ”nothing has fallen down for the last couple of days”.
The Top Five Reasons Neighbours Squabble
One study by Compare the Market revealed the top reason British neighbour's argue
- Broken fences – top of the board was broken fences and whose responsibility it was to fix it
- Parking: one of the leading drivers of neighbour disputes, with 54.1 per cent of people having issues with people parking in front of their house, parking bay or driveway
- Trees – complaints about a neighbour’s tree cracking your garden path was also common with nearly half of participants finding it frustrating
- Bin wars – outdoor bin etiquette continues to ignite the most furious debates between neighbours
- Nosy Neighbours – some people have their eyes and ears at the ready to have a peek causing problems for others
”There’s no point going up, complaining to the building management, complaining to the parents again because nothing has actually come down.”
While Paris hasn’t had the need to take any action since, she did note that if this is to repeat, she will ”kick up a fuss”.
”I will take the bag [with toys] upstairs and say something to them – and then the next step would be to go to the building management.
”I’ve been up to the parents twice, the parents haven’t been there. I think it’s like a sister or someone looking after them.
”[She] doesn’t really seem to care. The last time I went up, she was literally on the phone and was like ‘I am on the phone to the kids parents now’.”
Although Paris told the followers she would rather avoid argument, she added she wasn’t scared to ”not have a go at someone for doing something”.
She went on in the video: ”And for all those people saying I need to go to the police, that is just absolutely ridiculous.
”I don’t know what it’s like in America but we don’t call the police for situations like this,” said Paris who thought that contacting the authorities ”just causes more issues”.
