As far as a legal answer goes, if you want to gain sole custody of her you should speak to an attorney about terminating the mother's and father's parental rights. Then you may be able to adopt her and give her some stability. A less drastic step would be to get the parents to agree to giving you a guardianship over her. I would also suggest family counseling.
