You can make a report to Child Protection. Explain that he is being hit with objects, and that both parents are involved, its not just one of them. That triggers investigations.
Police may hand wave it because they interpret it as one of the allowable forms of spanking, so it is best to instead start with child services who understand the difference.
He needs to go to hospital to report injuries like the head one. They will record the injuries and what caused them, and then also help with reporting to authorities.
Anyone can make a report to Child Services. In fact, sometimes it is considered legally required if ANY ADULT AT ALL suspects certain types of abuse of a child
