I strongly want to protect them from harm. I used to say if I ever became a parent myself, I wouldn't want my parents around my children because I don't want them to hurt my children in the same ways they have wounded me. I don't know why they are doing this to them. Of course, I never understood why they did the things to me, either.
I don't think CPS can do anything if there's no physical harm/severe neglect/physical danger/drug abuse? Though I am not entirely sure. You could call the exchange program director and speak with them about your concerns? Maybe the teens can be placed elsewhere if you speak up?

I really don't understand your parents' motive for having exchange students. I'm scratching my head. They seem like the complete opposite of parents who would.
