If you cannot find an attorney to help, and I would if I were in your area, call child protection and tell them exactly what you wrote here. As a relative, if they would get involved, you would keep the children, and have the agency to assist you. Make sure you impress upon them that the parents will come get them as soon as they are let out of jail. If they will not help, go to your local juvenile court and tell them everything and ask for help.
