Can you be friends with a lady who abuses her child?

You have a friend who is very verbally abusive towards her husband and children. She is constantly cursing and yelling at the children, particularly towards her three-year-old daughter. You like the couple, but have an ethical dilemma with the way she treats her family. You can’t be around her too long as you feel this will affect your three-year-old child. What do you do, if anything, to be able to maintain a friendship at the same time?
