It honestly sounds as though they don't know how to be parents, and the person they are living with are enabling them to be this way.
I don't know if there would be any way for you to get custody, since the child is already in a house where he is being taken care of by the grandmother.
If you want to move forward, Take pictures or video and then bring it to CPS, where they will require the parents to go to parenting class.
Also, the parents may not realize that the coughing has to do with the baby being around smoke, you may want to gently suggest to them that this is the cause.
This is a sticky situation, and one that will be very hard on the family if you do try to get custody, so tread gently!
