As Sapiens pointed out, I wouldn't report something like that. In fact there's a post up there where I specifically say I wouldn't get worked up about spanking.
My method doesn't prove it's right for all kids but it disproves the notion that spanking is the only thing that can ever work with a kid. I've never spanked my kid, and he's doing just fine.
As to the question of what I'd do with the sister in the above situation, first off I wouldn't give up like your dad did, so my kid would have (and did) grow up learning that there are consequences.
As for what to do right now. . . it might be at the point where military school will work
