    I would say exactly the same in your place.

    I'm sorry that your sister's negligence is creating this pain for your family. I think you're justified in withdrawing from the relationship until they make a sincere effort to correct your niece's behaviour.

    What is to give light must endure burning.

    If I were you, I would give your DD that label for the cousin's behavior, so she will know it in the future when she sees it. That will help her be less likely to be sucked into being the victim.

    And of course we all want that perfect sibling/cousin relationship we've been lead to believe we should have.
