Tough call - personally I would not take them back and stick to my guns ... I am a mean what I say and say what I mean type gal ... with children and with adults I rarely renegotiate a decision I have made because than it leads to people not taking me seriously and thinking anything I decide is 'negotiable' if they pester at me long enough. My advice to the clients was 'ya I am sorry it took me having to terminate for you to SEE that this was a problem - but my decision stands!
Seriously where was this hard ass approach when you were ASKING for help months, weeks, days before you reached your 'decision' to terminate ... where was this hard ass approach when their daughter stood in your driveway and disrespected you and the mother said NOTHING?
I cannot work with clients were it took me terminating them for their eyes to be opened that there was a problem and well even IF the kids behaviour was in a bit of a honeymoon of improvement this week - I cannot 'forgive or forget' the lack of support from the clients when I needed them or move forward trusting they would 'support' me again should another issue with their child arise or the honeymoon end again so to speak.
Ultimately your choice of course - I have no emotional connection to the family or child impacting my decision to say 'not on your life' ... but based on what you've shared on here - I would be so done!
