Thanks for feedback everyone. Today my wife and I had an important discussion. Emailed her a link to this thread and told her rest of the sane ppl in US think like me. It was decided that the kid will not go to that house period until there is documented evidence of the issue being resolved. Only exception would be to check on the grandma but in that case mommy would always accompany her son and wont leave him unsupervised even when grandma is around. Once again I appreciate all your help in helping me convince my wife... As for the niece's parents. They didn't reply to my email and at this point I don't really care because I will handle the situation my way from now on wards
Well, I'm late to the party, but I would not be messing around with this anymore. Something is very wrong here. Call CPS. Your child has already been injured & traumatized, and what the HELL is going on with that biting kid & the people who think it's acceptable? A child that bites...that is intolerable at ANY age!

How do you think your son feels about outings to that house?

muzzles come to mind....Ive seen puppies muzzled for nipping ... so why not this little darling..
OP, I'm glad your wife is finally realizing that this is not ok! It's hard when family is involved, but this is your son and his safety comes first! I would think that the child's aunt and uncle would be concerned not only for the safety of their nephew but also be concerned over the actions of their own child. It's a tough situation, but you're doing the right thing by banning your child from his cousin until the issue is resolved! Good luck and keep us posted!
Sounds to me like a good ole fashioned spanking is in order now since this has been allowed to go on until the age of four . Nope she is old enough to know better at that age and this aunt and uncle are allowing it to go on . Keep your child away from his cousin until aunt and uncle start nipping it in the bud . I remember my brother biting me once and my dog bit him that stopped my brothers biting once and for all maybe biting her back is not such a bad idea but I also advocate spanking .
As an objective person reading this thread, this reads as of your son's safety is not as important as your marriage. This is a place that you need to put your foot down, protect your son.
Exactly. I could see if the OP (or his wife) had no clue about what was happening to the son.
But since he does know, the kid's safety & well-being takes greater priority over what the negligent wife says.
This is not a situation where you need to do what you can to keep from making waves in your marriage or with your in-laws. As the above-poster said, protect your kid and screw what the other adults think of you.
