I can see standing up for the niece, but your sister is already too far gone and will now see you as the one who chased away her "true love".
Why else would she keep running back to this piece of garbage?
Sorry to say it hugh, but sounds like your sister kinda gets off on it.

I've lectured her many times on the subject. I can't understand why any woman puts up with that kind of behavior.
hugh,
I agree with you 100%, and would have done the same in your shoes. I just hope this SOB dosen't cause you any legal troubles by going to the cops. If push comes to shove, your sister would most likely side with him, and tell them he never touched her.
I hope you don't.
You could kill the abusive boyfriend, but that wouldn't fix the problem. I'm not saying it's her fault; I'm just saying she doesn't know how to care for herself. She needs help to learn how to care for herself. And she's very unlikely to be able to do that without some professional help.

Sorry. I don't see the 'gets off on it' angle. A lot of people have self-esteem issues that cause them to perpetuate these sorts of situations but I think they are few who 'get off on' being abused. I think it's very much more likely that a person tolerates abuse because they feel they're essentially unloveable. And that problem is fixable. Not easily fixable, but fixable.
Takes 2 to tango! as they say...[;)]
Stay out of it.
So what's the problem? Whether you go to jail or your sister pulls her head out of her *?

I'm not sure what you're saying, but it sure sounds crass.

It's a little late to stay out of it. Normally I do stay out of domestic squabbles. I hope some good comes out of this ie. The guy decides to leave the area. I don't want to have to worry about him bothering her or me again. My sister called the police yesterday and they said she can't get a restraining order before next Thursday.

Hugh,
My wife's first husband beat her. My mother's first husband beat her. I've had several female friends over the years who have been beat up by men.
Many of these women are simply terrified to leave the guys. When they're married, it becomes worse and harder to leave. Oftentimes, the threat is that if they ever left or told, the guy would kill them. Other threats include leaving them penniless. Still others involve threats of taking children away and never letting them see the kids again.
It isn't that they get off on it, they're scared for their lives.
I notice you've edited the original post since I began my response. I hope that doesn't indicate legal troubles for you, Hugh.
If possible, get your sister into counseling available through the nearest battered women's shelter.

Even if a woman leaves an abusive relationship it is very likely she will choose another abusive partner; I've seen it happen over and over.

My sister is trying to get a restraining order. She owns her home and is financially secure so she doesnt have to get out of his house, he has to stay out of her house.
No sign of sherrifs deputies yet. I'm not going to deny anything. I'm happy to take my chances with a judge. The manager at OCharlies told me not to come back for a while. I showed him the polaroid pictures of my sisters face from the last time the guy hit her and she had him arrested and he agreed the guy had it coming. My hand is all swoll up.
