question about "saving" children

[Anonymous]

I don't think any kid in that situation is "happy".
anyway, I guess to simplify.. If someone knows some children that are getting beat up, should they bother calling social services. Is that really going to help anything? Should the kids be taken out of the house? Does that really help
Or even say, someone knows some children who are not being 'taken care' of in any shape or form. Same question.

Is there really anything to do, or is it basically "oh well, that's a shame. Hopefully they won't accidentally die"
