In the article linked to below, there is an evidence-based solution being out forward to raise emotionally healthy children.
In a 2011 Brigham Young University study, children in both two-parent and single-parent homes who felt close to at least one grandparent exhibited "higher pro-social behavior." (Pro-social behaviors tend to benefit others: helping, sharing, donating, volunteering, cooperating, etc.)
"The bottom line," the researchers say, "is that grandparents have a positive influence on their grandkids that is distinct from the effect of the parent-child relationship."

Once grandparents are not a source of trauma and abuse for children but can promote healthy values, give unconditional love and provide children a reprieve from stress at home or school, this seems like a win-win situation.
