You can suggest counseling for the son. Other than that, you should report crimes when they happen to you. You can probably obtain an injunction against the son and get him removed from the house as he appears to be not only a danger to you but also to your wife. It will not be long until he turns 18 and is on his own, and he can probably go live with his father. He has beat you in the past and this has to stop, but when you ask for an injunction make it clear that you want him out of the house and that you want a no violent contact order as opposed to a no contact order. The best thing to do is to go see a local family attorney face to face and discuss the problems, issues, and options.
