I think you should call the non-emergency number and explain the situation to the police and ask them what your options are, like you said. Also, do a quick google of the area you live in and see if there are abuse victim groups. The leaders and communication directors of those groups are more than willing to provide you with more information and help or solutions.
Also, a call to the local (hopefully secular) alcohol or substance abuse clinic might yield help as well.
Thanks Summer. That's very helpful.

Call the police they will investigate, or call CPS both will keep your identity hidden. I'm sorry that you've found yourself in this situation, this situation will not get better worse is where it's headed, head it off before something bad does happen. The way you're feeling now if something does happen, you're going to have trouble with your feelings about what could have been prevented. I want pray for you because I know you will consider it insulting, I will pray for the children and the situation.
You're right, GC. Thanks. Also, I don't find it insulting to be prayed for, but I'm not the one who really would need it if it did any good... the kids would. So, keep doing what you're doing
