Neighbour 'tells mum to limit kid's playing in garden or police will be called'

A parent has shared a note she claims to have received from a neighbour complaining of her "small child" playing in the garden and threatening to call the police.

TikTok user Dawny Dawn was left shocked with the person saying she should limit her kid's time outside to 15 to 20 minutes a day, reported HullLive.

She shared on the social media platform a 15-second video showing the alleged full note from the neighbour of one year.

The person's complaints included that the child was "laughing and giggling" and that it was "very disruptive" for her two dogs and a bird.

The note stated that the neighbour had given her time to "correct" the problem "on her own", however as it was still ongoing they were now willing to call the police if the "disruptive" behaviour didn't stop.

The video firstly showed the folded note peeking out of her letterbox where you can read the front.

It says 'To Neighbour', with Dawny Dawn pre-warning readers that they may have to pause the video to read the note in full.

The transcription posted to Tik Tok read: "Dear neighbour. I moved here a year ago and I wanted to give you time to correct this problem on your own, but you are apparently too inconsiderate to do so.

"Every day this week, when weather has been nice and windows are open, you proceed to let your small child run free in your garden, laughing and giggling and carrying on without end", the note continued.

"This is very disruptive for my two dogs and my bird who sits next to the window and likes to look into the garden. Perhaps you could ask your child to tone it down a bit.

"Or, at least limit her outside time to 15 to 20 minutes a day so my dogs can go outside without seeing her. If this behaviour persists I will call the police!", threatened the neighbour at the end of the note.
