If the step father is leaving marks, then the father needs to be taking the children to the hospital emergency room or the police station immediately. Otherwise, a motion to modify the custody order currently in place would seem to be in order if the children are being spanked for no reason by the mother's new husband. I would suggest consulting an attorney in your area.
