Bryan, wouldn't it be better to just go and talk with the woman yourself? I
don't see the need to have the police do anything; I see this more as a
neighbor to neighbor discussion of expectations concerning what happened to
your child. I would also believe that from and adult point of view, this
neighbor may not have recognized coersion in the same manner that you feel
occured. Again, that is why a friendly, but firm, talk would be the way I
would approach it. Dragging the police in seems to me to be creating a far
more polarizing atmosphere when there were no threats or other breaches of
the law.

Just sayin'.
