My parents (54 F & 56 M) drank while being with my daughter (2.5 F)

Last Thursday, my sister (18) and brother (23) called asking me to call my parents because they were not picking up and they didn't know where they had been all morning. And worst of all, my daughter was with them.

I freaked out, a little, but I calmly called my mom and dad. My dad picked up after the second or third call, not sure now, and I asked if everything was ok, he said it was. Then I asked where had they been, because my siblings were worried. To this, my dad answered that my sister was rude and being awful to my mother and then he said he had things to do and hang up.

I got deeply worried now. I called my sister and first thing I asked was, -Where is my daughter? She was safe and sound with my sister in my sister's bedroom. Second question, -What in the name of God is going on? Dad said this and that about you. She said that when she woke up around 9am my parents were not there. My brother received a call from them at 9:30am asking him to go to this particular house where my mom had said she would take care of two kids (4 or 5F and 8 or 9 months, male) for a couple of hours while their mom went to do some errands. So, she sent my brother and sister to take care of children she had said she was going to take care of! When my brother and sister went back to the house around 1pm, my parents were still not there. They began calling, no answer. That's when they called me. After they hang up on me, my parents arrived, drunk and with this woman I personally don't know, but my brother and sister had seen in the past. My sister got mad and asked them where had they been all morning, my mother said she didn't have to know where they had been. My sister told my mom in a very angry tone that her niece was with them and that they were being irresponsible because they were drinking and it was dangerous and on top, my mother had other things to do. The other woman said to my sister that she shouldn't be talking to my mom in that way. So my sister said to the other woman, "Excuse me, but I'm talking with my mother." That's when my dad jumped in and sent my sister to her room. She went to her room with my daughter. After all this had happened, that's when I had finally spoken with my dad and he had told me what he did about my sister.

To this point, my sister was crying. I called my mom and she picked up. She was really bad, you could hear in her voice how bad she was. I still asked if they were drinking, she said she had. I asked her with what money she had been drinking, she said I didn't have to know. I asked her this because I give her money for taking care of my daughter. There's no overtime anymore at work, so this last paycheck I was left with Q63 (around $8) because the rest of the money I had given it to her so she could pay / buy stuff for my daughter and something for her and /or the rest of the family. I told her I didn't mind given her almost my entire paycheck, but what hurted was that she was taking that money for getting drunk with my daughter, if she had so much money, I asked her to please give it back to me then. She hang up. My dad called me back, she said I also was a disgrace to my family just like my sister for talking in such disrespectful ways to my mother. I told him they were being irresponsible because they were out drinking with a stranger, to me, and with my daughter. He said then that I should look for somebody else to take care of my daughter while I was at work and hang up on me. To this point, I called my husband and told him what was going on. He told me to ask for permission and that we were going to pick my daughter up immediately and that we should start looking for a day care.

My dad doesn't talk to me now and my mother apologized and asked me for another opportunity. My husband doesn't want to give them another chance. But I know that if I tell him to reconsider, he would.

Should I even be reconsidering giving my parents another chance? My problem is because my daughter doesn't eat that much and she has to be taking vitamins and this syrup to increase her appetite and I'm afraid that in a day care, they won't be taken the same care she used to have with my mom (when she wasn't drinking, obviously). I'm afraid for my baby. That's all.

TL;DR: My mom went out to do some errands with my dad. While running the errands, they found a "friend" of theirs who got them to drink while they were with my daughter.
