7. These parents sound a bit skeezy, and signing the paper was fraud
The grandma has been placed in some legal jeopardy (IMO, IANAL). That said, I don't think anyone else would be well-advised to get involved, unless this third-party was a sibling, child, or other close conection to the grandmother. Barring that, the most I'd do is advise the grandma to back off and protect herself...
