Need help with neighbors abusing their kids

Location: NY

Hi.

My neighbors have like 5 kids. They beat them with belts. The mom is on CPS files. Her kid’s school reported them. The kids are all small. One is autistic. Hes like 5 or 6

Two of the kids (the autistic one and a younger one) were playing outside in their yard and then literally left. Down the block and left. The parents only discovered they were gone after like half an hour or 40 minutes. So they went looking. Cops got involved. Found the kids. As theyre all coming back, dad said he’s going to blister their asses in front of me. They closed the door and i couldnt hear anything.

My neighbor texted and said he’s beating them like drill sergeants. Shes closer to their house than mine so she could hear but i couldnt. She could hear the wind whipping. So I called the cops. Cops came, asked the kids in front of him if theyre ok. They said yeah. The dad said he only hit with his hand. My neighbor told us over text that’s a damn lie. The cops left.

Idk what else to do.

Those kids are getting beaten. The dad is being aggressive and pissed off. I dont trust that he wont start like retaliating towards the neighbors or my family or anything because before they even went in the house, my mom said “if i hear those kids, there will be a problem.” She didnt call, I did. Idk what to do at this point. Like i feel like I made it worse. Theyre renting and have a past of cops being called so they go house to house
