I'd confront them about their actions, depending on how serious it was... tell them how I felt about what they're doing, and if nothing changed, I would take appropriate actions to protect them.
I was acting out a lot when I was a teen, skipping school, running away from home. I got cops called on me, got sent to foster homes, got sent to a halfway house, and finally, got sent to a psychiatric hospital. I forgive my Mom... IDK what I would have done with me! My step-dad, is another story...
Sometimes its not until kids are adults themselves that they can see why their parents may have took such drastic measures.
Some parents may stand by for example and watch their grandkids get neglected, eg due to alcohol or drug misuse by their parents and feel they have to step in to protect the kids.
Other parents say nothing and can only blame themselves if something serious were to happen to them, as in the baby P case for example.
