My oldest son was a biter. My mom thought this was so mean, but every time he bit, I would put a drop of vinegar on his tongue. That worked like a charm
Remove him from the situation efore he bites. You can tell him that he can't go with you when you visit his brother if he continues to bite and then follow up on your word, when you go visit his brother don't take him. And you are right about CPS and biting. They consider biting a child back as abuse. What stopped a playmate of my sister's was the day she bit my sister on the shoulder and my sister hauled off and smacked her so hard she landed on top of the coffeetable in our living room. That kid never bit anyone after that.
I'm not saying it will work for you but maybe sibling to sibling it will work. Time outs do work but you have to keep on using them over and over and over A few times then losing patience isn't going to cut it.

Is it the typical anger/ frustration bite? My lo randomly bites my forearm after a smooch and I cry out and he hugs me after. His is experimentational, I think, pants, arms. A shirt. We are trying, but with it being random and a sort of " I'm sorry" hug afterwards , it's a bit tough
If he bites out of anger, the common thing to do is say. We don't bite out family and friend. I can tell you are very upset right now, but I need to show you how bad it hurts when you bite more than food, I slight pressure bite to his hand with usually do it.
We are all so frightened of the state and disciplining our own children because of petrifying fear that EVERYTHING will have your child taken away. It just doesn't work that way!
It just doesn't. My mom worked for CPS and couldn't remove children from desperate situations because of regulations.
Parent your child , not parenting your children is why respect for rules in society are completely ignored by the new working generation now.

Most kids bite out of frustration because they cannot verbalized what they are feeling or need. Give your child those skills. Remove him from the situation and talk to him about why biting hurts. Ask WHY he's biting and give him the words needed to ease his frustration. Also, giving a frozen washcloth or raw potato to bite on helps, especially if its a teething issue.
