Family cannot afford to pay for rescue.

This, IMNSHO is BS. They should have to pay, even if it destroys them. Sell the house, whatever (they live in CA, they can sell even a cheap house and raise 300k, then move to Iowa or someplace cheap).

I'm actually fine with letting the kids do this, but the parents need to face enough financial problems in case of rescue that they at least take out some sort of insurance for this contingency or face financial ruin.
