A priority is being sure the animal in question is being abused and the owner is violating local laws. What some would call abuse it might not be abuse by definition of your local laws on abused animals. Check the animal at different times of the day. If you see a lack of sufficient water, food, and proper shelter of the animal, it might just be ignorance on the owner's part. Your local police station or animal shelter are better experienced to assess the situation and take the appropriate action. If you see out right abuse like beating, kicking, choking or any other violent action against the animal try to document the abuse (video tape or take a picture) and contact your local police station or animal shelter right away. Ring or somehow tell the local authorities responsible for animal protection, such as the RSPCA or SPCA, depending one where one resides.

The only thing you can do is to bring the child into a pediatrician and have them examine the child for abuse. Tell them you suspect someone and ask that they check for internal scratches or any evidence of abuse. If there is abuse, have it documented and press charges. If the doctor cannot find anything, then there isn't a case. In the future, unless you fully trust your boyfriends, do not allow them alone time with your child.
