I don't know anything about this or SC DSS, but I looked at the website. The director is a cabinet member appointed by the governor with approval of the Senate. There is also the Office of General Counsel under the "Legal Team" section of the site.

Your best bet is for your daughter to hire an attorney to look into this and determine what avenues are available. If you're not going to do that, I would probably send copies of all evidence and documentation to the Office of General Counsel and copy the Governor and the Director, including detailed timelines. Might be worthless, but worth a try. It would likely be more impressive if sent by an attorney.
There are so many stories of reports to social service agencies where nothing is done and the child ends up injured or worse. Tugs at your heartstrings.
Has your daughter tried to file for a custody change based on the evidence? Maybe with restrictive visitation?

You need an attorney bro to escalate this with social services.
What’s the custody agreement? What’s your daughter doing about all of this?
Have a family law attorney and he is handcuffed legally by dss power.
Daughter has primary and dad gets him everywhere weekend. My daughter has contacted every layer of dss all the way to the state directors office, compiling data from all the officials involved, talked to 2 state reps and 1 US congresswoman office.
The US congresswoman admitted to be careful because of dss being politically motivated.

Good grief that is so frustrating just to hear about. I am so sorry BHTiger.

You sure your daughter is not being bitter towards step mom. Do they have history(Nothing wrong if there is that is expected)? There are always two sides but this is pretty serious because of it involves a child (your grand child)
They don't like each other but she wants/wanted them to have a relationship. I have seen my grandson speak of these issues and get nervous when it is time to exchange for the weekend knowing she will be there. It is a sad situation and no kid should have to deal with it, but retaliation from our side is not going to help and may complicate.

Child services/social services seem to exist only to make problems worse.

Pony up some money and hire a child custody attorney and take them to court. ETA: by them I mean dad/step mom
ETA2:
I am in no way familiar with SC law, but a lawyer should be able to file a motion or something to reassess the custody arrangement on the basis of child abuse. The courts mess up on a lot of things but judges tend to pay attention to allegations of child abuse.

As a matter of fact I find it hard to believe your story at all. Even if you are dealing with cancer, a normal dude would be handling it not posting about it.

Stop portraying yourself as a girl.

IMO Dad is complicit if this abuse is ongoing and he's not doing anything about it from his end either.
I'd be taking the evidence, lawyering up, and going for full custody without visitation (at least not with step-mom present). I would also consider filing an EPO on behalf of the child against step-mom.
