It's a weird situation. Basically in May my cousin asked aunt/uncle to pick the kids up from daycare and she hasn't taken care of them since. She has got them for a day or two a few times but that's it. The only way they got enrolled in school was the other grandmother(mom of the dad in jail) got him to sign something so they could be enrolled. Neither parents will give up custody even though neither of them are fit parents. CPS was involved at first but closed the case because the kids are in a good home now. But they also told us it wasn't a good idea to let the mom have them yet they won't actually do anything. Its super frustrating. No lawyers have been involved yet, but I just don't know if there is any chance my aunt/uncle could even get the kids even though they are taken care of with them whereas they are around drugs/abusive people with the mom. HELP!!

So my aunt and uncle have been taking care of 3 of my cousins kids since May 2016 because she got back on drugs, split up with her husband and both have been in and out of jail. there are a lot of details that I won't mention but I just want to know if there is ANY CHANCE possible that my aunt and uncle could get legal custody. The dad of the kids is in prison at the moment, and the mom (my cousin) is living with one of her ex's in some disgusting dirty house (told to us by the kids, she gets them when she feels like it) I know if she tries to keep them for good they won't be taken care of, won't get to school or anything. Both my cousin and the guy she is with have a lot of stuff on their records. CPS hasn't done anything so far and I am very worried about the kids being around that guy because he can be abusive. I just don't know if there is anything that can be done.
