Thank you for all the support. We went to court today over my grandson. They charged my son with child abuse and returned the baby to it's mother even though my son was with her. They put a no contact order on my son for all witnesses. The mother was one of those witnesses. Some of you had asked where the mother was, she was standing right there watching my son hit the baby. The judge did order supervised visits with the child. But what a joke he lives with the mother and baby... The reason the child was returned to the mother is because they live in a differant county then I do or where the abuse took place. The county where they live already have an open case with the welfare department. so my county was out of juristiction. I spoke with the officer after court and he did tell me the mother could still be charged with child endagerment. I also call the superviser of the welfare worker working on there case, I faxed her a copy of the charges and the no contact order so maybe they will remove him when they get back home. But waiting to see what they do will be the hardest. I will keep all updated on what happends. I have also let them know if they take him away again I would like to have him with us.
oh god whats this planet coming to? you say the mother was there? im sorry but that child should b with you not with the mother or father they want putting on shark infested island and leaving there see your lawyer and fast before its too late
I really hope that the officer takes notice of your concern, as your grandson care is very important. There are many factors to this little boys life, and im sure that the department will be keeping a good watch on your grandsons living arrangements.Also most of the cases like this can be long and drawn out process and im sure you will be explained what the process is going to occur for the best interest of your grandsons wellbeing. I absolutely commend you for requesting the care of your grandson, and i hope that the department really look closely at this happening. What i would like to know, if it isnt 2 personal, is have you got agood relationship with your son and his partner, and if yes, could you unite together as one to make this little mans upbringing the best that he deserves. Goodluck and i pray that it all works out for u all
As adoptive mother of 3 sons who were severely abused as infants (who by all medical reasoning should be dead) DO NOT STOP YOUR PURSUIT! Stay on child welfare day and night...get an attorney...follow up...follow up...follow up. The system does not always work. My youngest was severely abused by the biological father while in the custody of bio mother (they were not married) and my adopted son was the second worst abuse case in the county at the time (a very large metropolitan county). Bio mom is serving 20 years no probation, father walked because she would not testify against him and she was considered responsible as the mother having custody.
I commend you beyond your wildest belief for what you are doing. Also, be certain the parents know that you are "on" this...even surprise them with at home visits and take a "witness" with you just in case you discover something.
Goodness sake well keep ringing the welfare this is a joke keep reminding them about the welfare of your grandson you have to keep onto them just shits me look at here yeaterday father shot his 2 and 6 year old and himself? this how serious this is find out about cases that have backfired due to there neglect(welfare)and remind them that this could happen to your grandson
I hope to god that your grandson will be safe and i commend you in doing everything you can good on ya nan
Thank u for update. Justice makes us feel like screaming our head off sometimes but don't give up. That little sweetpea needs u to be around and keep an open eye. Keep on calling the children aids in their county, call everyday if u have to.take care and thinking of u, ur daughter and that little sweetheart.
Oh boy I missed the first post on this, I'm sorry, and I commend you for being brave enough to stand up for the little one that can't defend himself. I would get legal advice and, if possible, apply for full custody of the child.
Keep reporting every little bump and bruise, every time you suspect even the slightest abuse, and encourage anyone else that knows them to do the same. The more reports that can be gathered by the authorities, the more chance you will have of being granted custody of that child.
