I have a little cousin, she is four and I'm really suspectign child abuse.
My aunt is disabled and she's on a wheelchair, she's got two kids, agirl, 4 and a boy who's 13. They live with my grandmother and I suspect the girl is being abused, maybe her brother, but my aunt and grandma seem to ignore it, more than ignore it I think they want to believe that's notpossible although there are some signs.
Sometimes if they are alone in the same room for a couple of minutes maybe watching tv, the girl would start yelling or crying without a reason and she won't tell us what's wrong. She is generally weird, speaks very littel and always, always looks sad.
I feel like I have some responsability cause my aunt and grandma really can't cope by themselves ( economically they are fine, but I think they are not watching the children close enogh), but they won't listen either.
Is there anything I can do or should I leave them with their own family issues.
