Nobody necessarily wants to rip apart my wife's family, so avoiding reporting the abuse is, at this time, my intention as long as things stay stable.

ABUSE IS NEVER STABLE YOU FUCKING MORON
>>16561848
By stable, I mean not physically attacking. We're in full damage control mode until they can sneak out on tuesday.
>4 kids
>married
>can't afford own house
Just kill yourself honestly. People like you hold back society.

Steps...
Step 1 Knock him out
Step 2 Tie him up
Step 3 Torture him(be sure to muffle his screams with something)
Step 4 Make him say sorry for hitting your wife
Step 5 Leave him to starve(don't forget to shove something down his throat to be sure that he doesn't speak ever again)(ensure that he's tied up and never getting free)
Step 6 Rob and leave
Also don't forget to kill his wife(make it short,not her fault)

>Searching for a house
Buying a house takes time and is more complicated than simply throwing money at a real estate agent for the first house you see. It pays to be careful so you aren't ripped off.
I had to stay with my in laws [thankfully nothing like this, just a grumpy father in law] for a couple of months with my husband [no kids] while searching for a place to live that met our criteria. We had to move there first because we had to start our jobs at a date before we could find something available to live in.
>man strikes your wife
>infront of kids while she's holding a goddamn child

>not even taking photos of the mark if you report it later
Good job and good luck on getting her out but abuse is never fucking okay. You should have reported it. All it takes is a phone call.
I'm attempting to minimize the trauma to my kids by not reporting it immediately. I questioned my five year old and all she remembers just a few days later is that everybody was scary. It's likely she'll lose the major details if she hasn't already. I feel like knowing that grandpa is in jail because he hit mommy might be more traumatic.
As far as a mark goes, there isn't one. It was an open handed, forceful, shove that pushed her off balance, or so I'm told by my brother. I was at work when it occurred.

I can afford a home. I have my pre-approval letter. I just need to find a suitable property and have my offer accepted.

While abuse is disgusting and I still say it should have been reported, it is too late and I can kind of see things from your stance.
I'd try to collect your belongings quietly and covertly to insure nothing is destroyed or tampered with. Peacefully explaining the scenario after the move, creating a stable environment and making sure your brother-in-law's okay should be top priority. Any abuse toward you or him should be swiftly dealt with though. Good luck, anon.

Thank you. As far as reporting, from some family members, I understand that this type of activity, specifically the felony child abuse, has a 4 year statute of limitations. I'm not still ruling out reporting, just wanting to wait until my family is out of harm's way.

M8...
You made it sound like he clocked the little bitch out cold while she was breastfeeding. An open-handed shove?
>>16561843
Get yourself a Sledgehammer or an Aluminum bat.
Next time he pulls any small shit, call 911 out of earshot. If he's more aggressive, try to subdue him. Go straight for the head or the Solar Plexus, right under the center of the chest. You can tie him up at that point and wait for the cops.
You should NEVER tolerate any abuse against your family.
