Child abuse!

My niece's came and stayed at my place for a few days in the holidays because their parents didn't want them. My niece said that she wants to live with me because she wants to get away from her mothers boyfriend. I asked her what was going on and some of the stuff that she told me, really shocked me. She started of by telling me that she was asleep in her bed and got woken up because the boyfriend was strangling the mother in her room. She described what happened and demonstrated how the mother was trying to get the boyfriend of her. He also had a knife and he cut the mothers arm. He then dragged her out of the house and my niece said that it looked like he was going to push her mother down the stairs. She had told me that there was one time that the mother and the boyfriend were fighting, so the mother slept in the lounge. When my niece's got up in the morning, their mother was gone and the was blood on the front door mat. The mother did come home later. I asked if the boyfriend had hurt them and she said that he pushed her really hard into a bench one time and she hurt her back. He tries to trip my other niece over a lot. He has told one of my nieces who is 12 that she has to leave and puts all of her stuff out the front. I am so angry about this, I think the mother is just as bad because she is letting this happen. I am going to the authorities today and hopefully I will get something done. I have gone to the authorities about this guy before and nothing seemed to happen. Hopefully this time it will. Any suggestions on what else I can do would be very appreciated. Thanks!
