you won't be 'giving up' you'll be helping the best you can by finding safety for the children and allowing the 'crack heads' to figure out where to go from 'here' ... whether it be skid row or to a meeting.
there is nothing else you can do. (except break your own heart)

So basically what you're saying is that all we can do is just make sure the kids are placed in a safe environment... hopefully without having CPS or the law get involved, and then let them be until they're ready to get help on their own?
We want to get my nephews out of there and their grandmother has already offered a couple of times to keep them for a while but they (the parents) refuse. I'm not sure it's going to be possible without getting CPS involved, and that's really a last resort option.
What you're saying makes sense. It's just really hard to turn your back on somebody you care about so much and watch the self-destruct. But if that's the path they insist on following, I'll be damned if I'm going to let them take my nephews down that path with them.
