is there anything i can do about my parents aggressive dogs?

My parents own two English mastiffs, a wheaten terrier and a chow mix. The English mastiffs are gentle for the most part. They protect the family of three adults and two toddlers. The wheaten terrier is small and has little man syndrome and is friendly but turns aggressive when the other dogs mess with him. Then there is the chow, who acts like he's scared of everything. He's very timid yet gentle. He loves to play with the other dogs but is a loner mostly because the others don't really play around.

There has been times where the wheaten terrier gets beat up on by the male mastiff and in the past several fights have broke out between all dogs and during this time I've warned my parents about this. Since I don't live with them anymore I feel like there isn't really anything I can do. My feeling is if they are so aggressive and there are young kids in the house its only a matter of time before they turn on the humans during a fight or in general. Well last night a fight broke between the gentle chow mix against the wheaten terrier and the male mastiff. It ended badly taking the life of the chow. I'm very angry with my family for keeping the dogs and allowing this to happen. I will do something about it. I just don't know what I can do. Im so angry I just feel like putting a bullet between both dogs eyes. I know my family will not be happy with me but I will report this for the safety of my niece and nephew and the deceased dogs life will not be taken in vain. I just don't know where to start. I'm in the state of Texas and I don't know what to do about it. Can any body help me? I hear all the time about pit bulls and the stories that go along with that and I feel really antsy about this matter before they turn on the kids next time. Some one please help me!
