The family member will die -- but the child has a long life to lead.
The husband may be shocked and disappointed at the treatment his wife gave a child he loved -- but the child was the one subjected to abuse.
Calling themselves "grandparents" does not make them "grandparents".
If you are going to be the child's parents/guardians, then you must protect the child from all harm, including the harm of a toxic family. If other family members do not understand, then make them "distant" relatives!
