If you can think of no other way, you can always make a call (anonymous if you choose) to the child protection agency of your state, assuming you are in the US. Other options would be to try to talk with the people involved and explain your concern; clearly this may not be possible without consequences. It is better to ruffle a few feathers than to see a child hurt or killed because you hesitated to take action.

When parents don't provide or protect their children this is child abuse and the state has the duty to make sure the children are taken care of because they are unable to do so themselves.

If minor children have been abused by a step parent and the biological parent allows this are they both guilty of abuse?

I'm not a lawyer but i believe the answer is YES. Many children feel unprotected by the non-abusive parent, even when the abuse is occurring within a traditional 'nuclear' family. A biological parent has a responsiblity to protect their children. If their children are being abused by their partner they are responsible for putting a stop to it. If it is allowed to continue it becomes abuse 'by proxy' In the best case it's still neglect, which is also a form of abuse.
