The same laws that protect drunk, unconscious, disabled, senile, or otherwise incapacitated people would still apply. Here, the 18-year-old with a child’s mind would be deemed incompetent, and assigned a guardian.

There’s got to be something more concrete than that, should the guardian be the problem…

  Laws are for generalities. Courts are for specificities. The situation you describe is resolved in the courts, not by legislation.
  
  If the guardian is the problem, the courts assign a new guardian. That guardian can be another relative, or it could be a department of the state.
