some people should not be allowed to have kids

i love my neice almost as much as i love my daughter but jesus my sister is something else...everytime the baby cries or does something my sister doesnt like she smacks her so hard and throws her in time out if my sister doesnt wanna deal with her she makes the baby sit on the couch and yells at her if she gets up she totally ignores her and drags her around by her hair like a damn cavewomen it drives me absolutly insane cause thers nothing i can do about it.
if i try talking to her about it she yells at me and i end up physically hitting my sister or we get into a screaming match. she has to be reminded to feed my neice and pawns her off on my mom and dad all the time.
just 10 minutes ago my sister (after being told to feed her kid) was in the cubboard and a can fell out my neice was standing right next to her and without even thinking she smacked my neice so hard on her bare little thieghs and once on her arm and once on her head screaming and yelling at her not to touch the cans when i told my sister that she didnt touch the can that it fell out when my sister was reaching for something else she told me to shut the smurf up and mind my own bussiness cause i didnt see it when i did now my neice is sitting on the couch crying and starving in time out cause my sister decided it was a good idea not to feed her till after her time out was over.
and its not like my neices dad is much better he gets her on his days and drops her off at his mothers house. my neice is gonna be 2 in march and shes not even talking yet because she gets ignored by her parents idk what to do to help my neice i have a 4 year old and im pregnant ready to pop any day any suggestions?

call cps thats thebest

Does you sister see a therapist or counselor? Can you take your niece for some time? That is abuse and I wouldn't be able to stand by and let it happen. Your sister really isn't fit to parent.

That's awful   I'm sorry your sister is like that, and I'm sorry that her poor baby has to deal with her as a mother. I would definitely call CPS.

That's so sad  

I would call cps. If you have tried to talk to her and she hasn't changed or won't listen, then there probably isn't much else you can do to help.

Um smurf that. You seriously just sit around and don't do anything about it so.you're really not any better. Call CPS FFS!

omg. Talk to CPS and see what can be done.

What do you mean there's nothing you can do about it? You can call CPS. And you should. That's abuse.

Wait she's not even 2?! I mean, regardless of age my heart breaks for the baby but that makes her, what? 20 months?! That's absolute abuse no matter how you slice it. Your sister needs help and that baby needs to be saved.

Call CPS.  

I'd say call CPS but they probably wouldn't do anything. It would be to hard for them to prove abuse.

I would be on the phone with CPS. That is abuse IMO. Is there any way you could take the baby for a couple of days just to make sure she is fed and properly cared for.

Quoting .Sam.:" I'd say call CPS but they probably wouldn't do anything. It would be to hard for them to prove abuse. "

    

How old is your niece? (not that it makes any difference, she should not be treating her child that way)

I honestly think calling CPS is the best idea. That poor baby, it makes me sick to think about what happens to her when no one is around. Please do whats best for that baby and get her some help

Have you talked to your parents about her behavior? That is flat out abuse. Tell them whats been happening and see what they think, but no matter what you can't just let it go on. Call CPS, suggest counciling, something. You allowing it to happen is as good as condoning it.
