You should contact the child's local DHR office and tell them of these events,requesting a child abuse investigation, take down a report number. Follow up to insure they have properly investigated the situation to ensure the safety of the child. If they do believe the child is in danger and remove her, you can offer to be the temporary custodian of the child
