The original poster (OP) is deeply distressed by their sister's perceived cruelty towards her stepchildren and has taken the significant step of revealing this behavior to the children's biological mother, leading to potential legal action and severe family fallout.
The central conflict lies between the OP's strong moral conviction to protect vulnerable children and the family's expectation that they should remain silent to maintain peace or loyalty to the sister.
