I need help with my sister?

i know it's none of my business but she's my niece, My sister has a 1 year old toddler and everytime my sister get's mad at her, she ends up hitting her or yelling at her, my sister has made so many mistakes with parenting her, my niece has a tendency to hit our dog because my sister does when it pees inside the house... My heart beats so fast when she yells at me niece and hits her, you don't know what i want to do to my sister when she does that..... i've already tried to approach her about it, but she says i'd be doing the same , and that it's stressful, i don't really think that's an excuse, My niece's character is developing and if her mom keeps treating her like this she'll end up being a bad kid, How do i stop it?

Update:

She also says things like your b****ch *** dad won't help with sh** , to her own daughter, and she's always cursing, she has said things like i should've gave you up for adoption, and you're being stupid, Her dad even told her to shut the f** up, and her parents always fight in front of her, SHE'S ONLY 1, and i wouldn't social services on my own sister..i just need another solution

    What about your mom? Can't you tell her and get her to stop your sister from abusing her daughter? And yes, this physical abuse is child abuse.

    Yes, it's stressful being a parent. That's why she should have given the child up for adoption. But she was selfish and didn't think of what would be best for the child. She only thought about her own attachment and so she did the wrong thing and kept a baby that she wasn't prepared to raise. The fact that being a parent is stressful is NO excuse for hitting a child. It's no excuse for bad parenting at all.

    You are absolutely right about this forming the child's character. This kid is going to be SOOOOO messed up when she grows up. I see cigarettes, alcohol, drugs (maybe even very hard drugs like cocaine and heroin), violence, abusive men, possible sexual abuse, poverty, early motherhood, etc. in this kid's future if your sister doesn't stop abusing her.

    You either tell an adult who can stop your sister (preferably a relative such as your mom or aunt or grandmother) or you do whatever you have to do to get her to stop abusing the child (such as physically restraining your sister when she tries to hit her daughter).

    Report her to child protective services and have them investigate.
