With all you've listed and the age of the child I would only do a probation period if you really think the parents will kick it into high gear to fix things. If that isn't likely then give term notice.
If you do probation I would likely not do 4weeks. If everyone wants to see change happen it will be evident in 2 weeks...then give a second probation for 2 more weeks to continue progress. Stating that some but not enough progress is seen therefore probation will be extended.
