You guys are right. We've considered reporting before but don't wanna rock the boat & don't like ratting on people but this is a f#cked up situation. We got approved for a new apartment thou things aren't quite finalized yet but we're supposed to be in our new place November 1st assuming things work out(we're still getting BS paperwork to do so not entirely sure) but when we move seems like a good time to report it since it's only a little over a month away & it won't matter to us if he knows we're responsible since we will no longer be here.
You've made the right decision, Nick. In the meantime please keep a record of everything inappropriate that you hear or observe, including the time and date. Make audio-recordings of him if possible. I would even include the loud bass music and noise complaints because that isn't a proper environment for a little girl to live, do homework, and feel secure.
Saying "shut up" while laughing or joking with someone is one thing, but shouting it angrily at a vulnerable child and calling her a "little b***h" is very serious. This poor child is developing her sense of self with these words. She has nowhere to escape and she's learning to love / forgive him because she's dependent on him as a caregiver. His behaviour can lead to her development of Complex Trauma and psychological damage, similar Stockholm Syndrome. God only knows if she is also being physically and / or sexually abused.
Personally, I'd act on it straight away. If the verbal abuse gets worse or if there is a particularly bad event, please consider reporting it now.
Hugs to that little girl.
