I'm sorry, this is such a heartbreak. I honestly don't think the police or cps are able to do anything based on this - as horrific as it is! K is the one! She has to get herself in gear and get those kids OUT. This maybe...one day... soon... isn't working, what would happen I wonder if she, k herself calls cps and begs them to get her and the kids out. It sounds as though she's resigned to the fact that this is how he behaves and she is powerless, but totally sorry you had to see it. What would we do if our husband's did that? Not apologize to others, we'd get out. It's all on her. You are such a good mom, I'm sorry. It's hard to reason with someone who's not receptive. ((((HUGS)))
