Are they involved in a cult? Why are terms like "chastised" and "sacrificial lamb" being used?
...and being beaten for talking back to your elder sounds concerning.
If you are concerned about your IL's influence on your child, you should not drop your child off for baby-sitting with them, but should stick arond to keep an eye on what they say.
