In fairness I also would have looked at you like you were crazy had you said that to me. It's really none of your business how your in-laws decide to discipline their children. What is your business is telling your in-laws that their childrens' behaviour towards you has been unacceptable and if that sends them off in a huff so be it, it's their problem (by the way I wouldn't say that to them in front of the kids).
I can't remember if you mentioned it in the first post, but what is your husband doing in all this. It's his family and if it's a delicate situation I would expect him to be talking to his brother and making certain points clear.
Also I appreciate that you are very upset over the behaviour of the child (and in your place so would I be) but slagging the child off over their physical appearance and video recording them to show others is unacceptable behaviour from an adult. Blame their parents not them.
I was wanting to say something similar, but I've been too busy. It's easier said than done to talk to people about this kind of thing, but it's the appropriate action.
FML, the nightmare is almost over...........
