They are watching, be careful.

Good evening fam, i have this experience bordering me that I want to talk about. In the year 2007, I was still kinda little and we lived in two rooms in a compound. There was this neighbour that lived next to our room, he had 2 kids already of age 7, and 3 and each time it 1:00am at late morning, he’ll start hitting his wife. It’s got to an extent one night that the woman called for neighbours to come help her. We all ran out of our rooms started knocking at the door so she could open up but she never did. When it was day break, she couldnt look into our eyes. When I tried asking my mom what really happened, she scolded me and asked me never to say anything about it. The kids who are now grown ups were there and witnessed what happened. What do you think happened and how did the children feel that night?
