My brother also thinks that his baby is being abused physically by grandparents and mother, beaten with a stick because he cries (he's about two and a half year old), the grandpa certainly threatened him with a stick while the father was there). My brother lives in Samaná 6-8 months of a year, has a home there and has hired a housekeeper and a nanny to help with the child.
Does anybody have any experience on similar situations or any advice?
I'm very concerned.

You should hired a lawyer and go to court to enforce your visitation rights, it can be done even if you are foreign.
My father won a court battler against this lady he was dating, they had a daughter together, but that lady became a drunker and was not taking care my sister the way she should, so my father hired a law and even that lady family were in favor of my father, they all went to court (Her father, mother, brothers and sister) and testified against her. My father won full custody.
About the child being beaten, i don't think we consider that fisical abuse here. My grandmother used to beat up me too, my uncles, my aunts, my mother, it's just the Dominican way of life. All my friends were beaten too :-).
