If you have the kind of relationship and communication skills that will make talking to either or both of the parents it may be helpful in terms of their hearing you support them, but I'd caution you to go slowly and very carefully. If it were your own child you'd be likely be easily defensive, protective, embarrassed, etc., etc., so it may be best to lay low and remain passively supportive and understanding. The kid is simply TOO young to try to impose without more disadvantage than "help." As your nephew matures you may find opportunities to demonstrate acceptance and support without even having to be specific or "engaged." At this point however, I advise strong caution and passive support until asked for more. Hope you won't be offended and I'm sure you'll get plenty more perspectives!
