i know a couple who has 3 kids,aged 6,5,2.theyre favorite is the middle kid,and they maltreat the eldest so often,having him do all the choirs,look after the youngest,when their father got home from work,the eldest was only the one without something from him,in a simple fault,actually, they were not really faults,the parents just always try to imlpy its fault even though its not,they would spank him wantonly,hes the servant at his age,i tried to advice the couple for dozensof times,but they dont even care,it almost came to a point i would call the police for maltreating him,but i think thats very serious if i will.and the consequences concomitant to my action would just make things worse.to tell you the truth,this boy is just a child of only the mother,and shes with her live-in partner now.they join forces in maltreating him.i wanted to play sentinel for the poor boy,but distance wouldnt let me to be able to look after him,i wanted to inform the real father but i think he wuldnt care

You inform child services. Even if you give the boy a rough time now, how do you think he will grow up if he doesnt get the help he needs? Please, act on his behalf now and speak your mind at least, to someone who knows if they might help.
It is not a good thing to grow up being someones slave. believe me, if you can do anything at all, please do, for his sake... :(

You need to take some action.Many adults are so scarred by thier childhood experiences,you cannot allow such treatment to continue. The child is vunerable and whatever is happening to him now could literally affect his whole life. Maybe not the police but certainly child welfare-you can report annonimously so no-one will know it has come from you. There are also childrens charities you could take some advise from,again you dont have to give your name if you dont want to.
No-one can say that any of this will make a real difference as the parents may well deny mis treating him but at least if you've tried you will have done something.on the other hand it may help and turn the whole situation around which would be a great result for the child.I know it's a dilemma but put yourself in the childs place,and try.

I think you should either attempt trying to talk to the boys real father and if that doesn't work i'd contact the police.
