I'm replying to the OP, who wants, personally, to do something.

There are laws regulating who has access to minors. That's reality, and it shapes what can, and cannot, be done.

If you are licensed for foster parenting, or willing to become licensed, you can offer to take in this boy, and oversee his daily care and make sure he gets the mental health services he deserves.

What, exactly, can a village outside of those legally authorized to intervene do?

Give me your ideas.
