MIL still gives her 9 year old milk from a baby bottle, isn’t this classed as neglect? I wanna say something because I’ve heard of the harms and it’s just wrong but also is it my place?

No it's not neglect.

It's also not 'just wrong'.

It's weird, but by itself it's not neglect. Is there anything is else going on?
