Hello there. I'm not sure whether it might be considered harrassment if you call the police or threaten to call, but if a child's wellbeing is at stake we should all do what we can to protect him or her. In fact, in some jurisdictions, it's the law that anyone that knows of child abuse must call the authorities.
