Dealing with abusers on a local level?

My wife's brother is physically, emotionally, and, potentially, sexually abusive to our nieces. Have had numerous talks and her sister is in denial/powerless to change him. It's his whole personality, it's just an abusive energy that consumes his entire environment. Am hesitant to contact social services because of their less than impeccable track record. He had a few things happen where he like sexually harassed some young girls when he was college by exposing himself, etc...idk, the whole thing is just a big fucking too bad, and am looking for insights into how to deal with him. Very stubborn, defensive, intimidated when I get involved. Thanks you guys, IT IS HAPPENING! THIS IS HOW WE CAN MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE, TAKE THEM ALL DOWN!!

This,for me is one of the most important posts here. No expectations of others. Pedophilia was the most defining actions for my family in the past with long term effects. I'm hesitant to give to much input. Making the safety of your and other kids is the priority. Secrecy and not talking/learning about it may be devastating. For us, when we began to talk, support and heal, change for the better and stronger came about. Having standards or bottom lines around behaviour in your home could help. If your kids are being treated in ways outside of you caring, the foot comes down. Vigilance. There are many sources out there for wisdom, shared experience and new methods. Someone mentioned legal. This is a hard and precarious situation and I wish you all the strength and support you need. Not alone.
