My niece and nephew have been isolated and are getting emotionally abused by their father

I am going to refer to the two children as my niece and nephew (they are my cousins children) but I have basically bought them up from when they was born

They are currently aged 10 and 8

My cousin sadly passed away nearly 3 years ago, she had problems with alcohol , me my sister and mother stepped up when she couldn't and loved her children like our own , they would join us on holidays and we would look after them
For weeks on end at times while my cousin would
Try and sort her self out

She loved her children but she couldn't handle them while she was battling her demons

She died at home nearly 3 years ago leaving us all heartbroken

Their father was left with the children in her council house

Fast forward 2 months after their mothers death (we would still see them regularly at this point )
Their father moved in a local crackhead who is known in the area as complete scum

I forgot to mention the father is evil he is an emotional abuser who not only battered my cousin black and blue but also beat her down till she felt like she was nothing

Since the crackhead moved in the kids ended up being put on child protection due to a long list of incidents happening at home where the police would be getting called up there due to the adults fighting constantly

He wouldn’t allow his children to have grief counselling when their mother died

Recently we have been informed that
They have moved their schools to one round the corner from the school they was currently at
bearing in mind one of the children is due to be going into year 6 in September and they have made such good connections , everyone loved them they had been there since nursery , it was a lovely nurturing catholic school

On the social reports it says the children were thriving at school , so why move them?
How was that allowed by the social services ?
I think people didn’t show the new partner the respect and love she thinks she’s owed at the school gates and that’s why she moved them
For a clean slate FOR HER SELF !

How is that a valid reason?
How is this in the best interest of two grieving kids ?
They loved their school it was the only constant in their lives and they were thriving there according to the reports

The older child who is a girl confided in me that the new woman sexually abused her
I done all the relevant things and called social services and the police where my niece told them everything
I then couldn't believe they made
My niece go back to the house with the alleged abuser
of course she went back on her story the next day after getting forced by them to change it (which she did )
Surprise surprise the charges were dropped !!

The kids have told me so much about what goes on indoors and when I tell them
They need to speak up and tell social services they come out with things like "we can't say anything otherwise we will be seperated and never see each other again " he is completely emotionally abusing these poor children

They are completely brainwashed they also have to call the new woman mum and she speaks awfully over their mother who has passed

The younger out of the two confided in me she got her photograph and got a pair of scissors to it and started cutting his mum out of it

I’ve noticed they talk bad of their mum as they have been told a lot of lies

After me reporting her to the police over the sexual abuse 8 months ago
we was banned from seeing the children and they have been completely isolated from every one on their mums side

It makes me so scared to think what's happening in that house right now

The social services don't want to hear it , I am nothing but a nuisance to them

This man is completely emotionally abusing his children but it's so hard to prove with out physical bruises , he has not only isolated them from us but also from his side of the family now so the kids have no one to confide In
And it worries me why is he isolating them from everyone … what is going on ?

The kids are locked up every day after school and in the holidays just banished to their bed rooms , they live a complete dogs life

All we want is the best for the children we love them so much and we just want to give them the best chance in this life

He uses his children for the benefits he gets and also my cousins lovely house that he wouldn't have with out the kids , they mean nothing to him

We dropped 5 big bags of presents round to his mums house yesterday to give to my niece for her birthday (the mum sympathises with us as she knows how much we love the children ) she also knows how evil he is

We've since found out he refused to let the little girl take the presents even after she had seen them all,
She was crying and telling his mother she missed us and loved us

These children are walking about in rags they are filthy dirty

There is so much more that I haven't even mentioned that these evil people have done ,
She is now walking about with a shaved head due to trying to evade drug tests that she send for get away with

How many more incidents until social services step up or worse something bad happens ?

There is more then 3 incidents a week sometimes occurring up that house and they seem to get away with it constantly

It feels like something terrible has to happen in order for the kids to be taken off them?

I have never had any experience with social services but I cannot believe the way they have left these kids to rot in the system

We had a meeting with them the other day and the social worker does not want to hear it

She told me to stop "relaying information to her" and she wasn't interested........ she literally could not give a damn
I thought it was her job to safe guard the kids and she would be thankful for more proof of what this woman is

Is it possible we can request a new social worker as this one just doesn't care

We just want to give these children the best possible chance to thrive and they can't in this horrible
Situation they are in

What is our best chance to try and get them full time ?

How do you prove emotional abuse , the kids won't speak out they are to scared
