You are so sweet for caring so much! This poor boy is badly abused. I really feel for him. All I can say is, when my dad was at his worst, and we were taken away from our home and put in foster homes, it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I guess because it helped me so much, I feel that when I see a child in an abusive situation, I have to talk to Children's Services. I've done it several times. They will work with the family, if it is possible. But this boy has 2 bad parents to live with. There is nobody on his side, except you. He must really feel comfortable with you to talk to you. He's begging for help, though. A child will keep it all to hisself for so long, but when he tells another grown-up, that means he really wants help.
For what it's worth.............
