Unless you have concerns of your own it really isn’t down to you to get involved in. 

I think we all have some responsibility to safe guard those who can't do it for themselves if we are alerted to things like this. 

When you say ‘we’ it sounds very much like you just mean ‘the OP’.
After all, the number of people who now have been alerted to this alleged issue includes the neighbour, the OP, me, you and a few more people on this thread.

So I’m wondering what ‘we’ (I.e. you) are going to do about this? If we (I.e. you) truly had some responsibility then we (I.e. you) would be PM-ing the OP for some detail and getting straight on the phone to the police.

but we (I.e. you) are not going to do that. We (I.e. you) would much rather tell the OP what they should be doing instead. So that means that we (I.e you) are just hypocrites.

I guess that is the difference between asking a question on here and asking on Facebook. Beyond the anonymity of our user names our connection is even less direct.
with my board guide hat on, I really would discourage people from exchanging personal details on a third party via PM.

Why your neighbours felt that they need to report this to you is beyond me. What part in this do they think the alleged abuser's LL should play?
If they believe abuse is going on, then they should inform the police or social services. Not the LL.
Seems like they want someone else to make the decision for them, when that other person has no evidence.

It is quite obvious why a neighbour would not wish to report somebody, and possibly they naively think the LL is in a more appropriate position. In practice an anonymous report is the best available solution.
