That's horrible. Do they not have insurance? The best thing for them may be to have the child in care so the child is in a stable environment and the parents can take care of what they need to take care of. I would worry about you getting taken advantage. Maybe not intentionally but it can happen. What do the parents want/need? I would suggest asking them as we can sometimes assume what is helpful in times of crisis but maybe we don't always know the answer as this is different for every family.
