Report it anyway, your friend won't like it but if peoples lives are on the line you have to do something even if it's against their will.

Report the father to the cops and child protective services. And try to arrange for your friend and his sister to stay with friends or at your place, maybe offer to help pay for the extra food (if you have a job) or have your friend get a job and offer to pay rent. Have your friend look into welfare programs to see if he and his sister can get some help moving into low-income housing.

Also advise your friend's sister to try and get a job herself so the two of them can start saving up to move out.

Keep calling the authorities on him; police, child services, social workers, anonymous abuse hot lines, etc. Like Worgen said, leaving a paper trail is a good thing. If you care about your friend, then just keep up the racket. Even if your friend complains, you are doing the right thing, they may not be able to see it now. Have them stay over at your place when dad goes nutty.

EDIT: my Friend is 18 sister is16
Problem is when to comes to their father they both have the mentality of a 12 year old

EDIT 2:I already called the cops on him ones and all that happens is he spends a day with a psychiatrist and then is let out.
Your friend and his sister should leave. Your friend is old enough, he should take care of his sister and go.

I'm sorry but drove on the wrong direction in the highway? With the kids in the car.

...Do anything to get them out. Aboslutely anything at all is allowed if it's at the point where he seriously risked his own childs life.

Living with anywhere where there isn't someone trying to kill you is better than living with someone who is is better 99.99 percent of the time.

But that's just a stupid teenagers opinion.

Ok... i know this might be a retarded thing to suggest but its all i can think off that hasnt been said
is it possible for your friend and his sister to hide out with you?
because if that assholes kills himself while they are with you then its a win right?
(i know this might be retarded please don't rage at me)
No offense, but that's a bad idea. It's better if the OP can convince them to stay in protective custody for a few days while the police sort it out.

Im going to ask a question that prolly otherwise would not get asked.

Is there actually any proof to the fathers "insanity" that does not hinge on the testimony of teenagers? Im not implying your friend is lying. As someone who was almost murdered due to the over exaggerations of teenagers as well as the mountains of instances of over exaggerations on the part of irrational teenagers that boiled down to them saying "My dad is going to kill me" equating out to "I lost my Xbox for a week" I really have a hard hard time (due to not having that personal first hand experience with the situation) to automatically take anything that a teenager claims at face value.

I mean show me some sort of evidence that doesnt rely on the words of a teenager. Signs of abuse to himself, or to the kids, Police reports citing things like terroristic threatening, Repetitive public intoxication citations, Drug charges, Anything really.

If there IS such a valid example then even if the kids have no where else to go, foster care would be better than being stuck with that for the sister, and for your friend.. well hes 18, he better figure out something quick.

If you want my advice there's plenty of poisons that can't be detected...no I'm no joking. This man doesn't deserve his life...hell have him "od" on sleeping pills...you can already prove he was suicidal...it can be passed off as such...I'm just saying what alot of people are probably thinking.

If intervention absolutely must be taken, here are some options
1) Emancipation
the 18 year old is old enough to move in with you if you have the means of supporting him. He is also old enough to legally tell his father to go stimulate his shame globes in a corner if the father protests.
The 16 year old is a bit trickier, as I'm not familiar with emancipation laws and especially not familiar with the laws of your state/country. I'd recommend finding a lawyer if you have the money for it.
2)CPS
Take a chance and hope for the best. Remember bureaucrats are people too, and have some leeway in interpreting protocol. Sometimes you'll get a lazy, willfully blind caseworker, but sometimes you'll get one thats a bit more useful. There is an element of luck in this plan.
3)Abscond
Do Nothing.

Plans 1 and 2 carry a great deal of risk, both financially and emotionally, and can backfire horribly. This is an ugly situation.
