How can this happen?

I'm trying to understand how this scenario can even happen. And yet it did, to members of my family (the in-laws)

The Family Tree Background: Carrie's stepmother has a kid, Jenny, who has 2 kids, Dusty 3 and Michael 1 1/2. She's married to Dustin, who's a rather large man/boy (I think a certain maturity goes with the title of man). Brenda and Dino live with Carrie's adopted cousins Morgan and Piper, who are 19 and 21.

Other Background: Dustin just got out of jail for something, not sure what, and he's been selling drugs and making meth in the past, and is probably still doing it now. Jenny is also on drugs, they say crank, but who knows. Also, a few days after Christmas she left to cash her check and didn't come back for the kids for 2 months! So just wonderful parents...

The situation: Three days ago, Jenny dropped the kids with Brenda. Last night, after 2 days without contact, she and Dustin show up to get the kids. Brenda and Morgan refuse, with Dusty clinging to them, refusing to go. At some point, Dustin punched Morgan, and Jenny hit Piper. The cops were called, either before or after the violence. Now, at this point you have 2 women with visible marks from being hit, and a small child screaming "don't make me go with them" and the cops do nothing. Yes, that's right, nothing. Just tell everyone to file reports in the morning. What?! You have two people who are clearly on drugs, who have just assaulted people, and you're going to let them take their young children and leave? How does that make sense? I can't even comprehend this. To the Evansville police, you really fucked up. You had the chance to save these children, but you didn't. Instead you turn your heads and pass them off...I hope your really fucking proud of yourself and the wonderful job you did last night. Fuckers...

(I'm not mad...no, not at all...)

Yeah, it's scary. Now if I could just funnel the anger into a song or something...
