The question tells us that you do have a problem with a potentially lethal electric installation.
Your description of the situation does not allow any conclusions to be drawn with any certainty and the answers tell you to get professional help before someone gets killed.
I have also, as has Bill, seen US installations that are beyond belief (Bill is in Canada and I am in Sweden) and, given that kind of experience, we do not like the idea that your Ryan family be exposed to experiments that may be the result of what you read (and possibly misinterpret) here.
Bill's recommendation was not a joke. It was a serious recommendation given so as to avoid accidents before you have got the help you need. Be prepared to pay for it.

Get professional help. You need it given the public safety aspect. This is not a problem to be solved by getting on-line tips.

When I posted my reply, I was not aware of any incident involving Sgt. Ryan. My apologies and regrets.
Had I known I would have been more diplomatic in my reply. You know by now, be very careful of, and around any wiring on a recent overseas US installation, whether military or civil.
The good news is that it was also reported that a group of qualified electricians has been hired and sent overseas to try to avert similar issues in the future. Let us pray that they are in time to avert any more tragedies.
Yours
Bill
