He says it is a "critical situation" but he absolutely does not want me to involve social services.
I myself have never had children so am unsure what to do and could really use some suggestions.
Thank You.

Any chance you could spend a few days in the home with them?
Then you'd get some idea of why or what's causing the child to lash out.
I can completely understand why he doesn't want any social services or cops involved.
Above all else...respect your friends wishes.
