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.

yes this is what I would do with all the experience I have.... totally sucks however once the gov is involved it's very hard to get rid of them. and the gov really sucks IMHO
if the parents won't agree tell them you're going to have them arrested. and do have them arrested if they won't comply.
those 2 are responsible for their behaviors. children need protection. you need protection. after you get the kids safe get as far away as possible from the crack-heads. nothing you can do except watch the the 'train wreck' from a safe distance.
I really don't see any other 'workable' solution
