You talk as if there is help to be had.
Are you familiar with the US foster care or juvenile system? Trust me, you don't want to be... it's a nightmare. Whatever the child's problems are going in, they would be more severe upon release.
Certainly institutionalizing the child would protect the safety of the grandmother and other children.
