...and in answer to your follow up question: Yes, people can change. They tend not to, but it is possible. No one can answer a blanket question like: "Is it always better to..."
Your objective is to stop the abuse. If the abuser wishes to change, that is entirely up to him or her. The future of the child is not yours to decide, but the decision to protect the child from present danger is.
No matter what a child endures, recovery is totally possible. Contrarily, it is also possible for a good childhood to produce a screwed up adult.
As I said, happiness has no prerequisites other than a willing mind.
The future of the child is not as much of a concern as the present.
Intervene.

How can someone who obviously thinks so much of their ideas have so little respect for expressing them? How can someone who so yearns to be taken seriously make so little effort?!
