There are too many variables and too many details not stated in your question to provide you with an accurate answer. I suggest you hire a lawyer.

You don't say why grandmother has custody - may not even be legal. The parents should have the rights. If there's abuse, then you could tell CPS or if grandmother agreed to give you the kids, take them and file for guardianship.

Is there a guardianship in place? If so, then you may need to go the children's guardian ad litem and raise your concerns. If there is no guardianship in place, then you should move to be the guardian. Apparently the parents aren't involved. However, they will have to be notified of the proceeding.

Only with great difficulty. You will have to prove to the court that the mother poses a danger to the children.
