What should you do if your cousins are in a bad place?

-My cousins are in a tough situation. Their dad abuses them, and they spend more time with them then their mom. But their mom has an out-of-control mouth and is mouthing off to my grandmother constantly, plus she wants to move! They keep coming to me, and I want to help, but I have no idea what to do! Can somebody help?I'd rather them be with their mom then their dad. Their dad is physically abusing his children. That is not good.. NOT good. Their mom isn't very great either. She should respect her mom and set an example for her children.



Man this is a tough one. If you're old enough I think maybe you should set something up where they can stay with you for a while, if you really care that much. That is what "I" would do.

EDIT: I agree with Matt Notgiven. There is a difference between abuse. There's discipline, then there's going to far with it.How bad does he abuse them?

Is he breaking the law?



I seem to be thinking that you might urge them to talk to someone about it - who that is varies on how severe the abuse.
I would let them stay with me but I'm almost 25 and I don't know how old you are. Talk to your parents, other relatives see if maybe you can gain some support for their situation.
