What should I do??

What the Expert Says:

From your description sounds that your grandson is in a very dysfunctional environment that may not be conductive to a safe and healthy development for any child. Your grandson clearly needs help with his mental health. If you cannot get him help and you think that his environment is harmful to him emotionally, physically, or in any other way, you may need to contact the local child protective services for assistance.

Best regards.
