Where do you live? If the father injures jus children, the children need medical attention immediately. And the doctor/nurse will be trained to look for signs of abuse, so he will probably call the police.

Can the children live with relatives or friends?

AsSalaam alaykum, the children should tell their teacher or relative straight away. They may be able to stay with their relative until things get sorted out inshallah.

Anyone knows what the children are allowed to do in the case of domestic violence?

They should seek medical attention immediately by going to the hospital. They may need trauma counselling too.
Elders should arrange to have the injured children transferred to a safe place.

The children likely cannot do anything, they are too small and don't know any better. If you see such things done (severe beatings), you should advise this person to stop and this is unacceptable and great sin. You cannot hit anyone that hard, let alone sinless innocent children- this is just common sense too. If he does not stop seek help from other Muslims and threaten to get the authorities involved. He does not sound like a fit parent, he should not be around any kids if he is constantly doing this. Try to do it in a way where he cannot beat the kids worse or run away with them.

They are his children so be-careful not to overstep your boundaries, he has a right to discipline them, but he should not be this harsh.

Tell the kids to listen to their father!

From this fatwa i kinda understood that the child has to just bear with whatever her family does to her. Did i understand it wrong?

Here is the fatwa: http://www.islamqa.com/en/20798

This is just the opinion of a sheikh on a website. It is also extremely disturbing that a grown-up girl is being hit by her parents and the sheikh says she has no choice but to accept it! That is really quite unacceptable behaviour. And then he says that if she is forced into a marriage she can attend upon a shariah court -- as if a beaten girl is going to have the strength and courage to march into a shariah court (none exist in the USA) and demand her rights against her parents! how realistic is that???

The Quran says that we are to speak kind words to our parents, not meekly allow ourselves to be abused well into adulthood.
