I constantly give the same advice in this kind of situations: Get the local child protective agency involved. In my experience it is never a good idea to throw your self into the unknown. It's very smart of you that you are already seeking information through this site. Go a step further and contact your local agencies. You'll be surprised how much help is out there. Good luck, be wise about your next step it may lead to lifelong consequences.
