Honest now it is. Clearly some outside help is needed in the family, but ...
what is the nature of the "assault"? Did he strike one or both of them after they struck him? Did they do anything to provoke what you call an assault? Do you even know anything about the boy or his family other than his age, address, and how much you will be paid to take him out of his home country, away from the protection of US laws and "program" supervision (lax as it is in some instances) ... and to a place that hardly has a good reputation for care, concern and therapeutic help of the teens they confine to their premises.
The FAMILY needs a program of help. Maybe the boy should go to a special facility, but there is zip (as in nothing, nada, zilch) you've written that comes anywhere close to the conclusion you've accepted to salve your conscience for getting the boy well screwed.
It is ---es like you who contribute to the bad.
