[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 717476, member: 1233"] I am so sorry that you are having to endure all of this. I am also sorry that your grandchild also has to endure all of this. HIs thinking just flat makes no sense, but sadly that is irrelevant to those in power in the situation - him and baby mama. I pray that CPS does more for your grandson than it did for my niece. It is good that CPS appears to be on your side in this. Whatever happens, document everything. Document EVERY interaction with your son. Document all the texts (can you go online and print them out? Some phone providers let you do this. If you can, DO print them - even if there are tons of them!) and a summary of all phone calls. Take photos of any marks on the baby when you have them. Be sure to include something in the photo for reference - a ruler, a book, something of a standard size that can help judge the size of what is in the photo. Above all, get an attorney to protect your rights and to protect your grandbaby's rights. Grandbaby has the right to a violence free home. If you have had a relationship with him until now, both of you may have a legal right to continue that relationship. You may have to file suit to continue it, and there may be a time limit to file it. Grandparent rights vary greatly from state to state, so you need to see a lawyer now and explore it. Do google your state and "grandparents rights". Then go see the best family law attorney you can find. Be sure to explain whatever problems your son and his baby mama have and why CPS is involved, and what is going on with the baby not being taken to the only approved caregivers. See what your rights, and the baby's rights, are in that situation. The first meeting is often free, but even if it isn't, it may be worth it. I am sorry that you have to cope with all of this garbage. I know how hard it is for all involved. Make sure you have your bases covered, then take good care of yourself. Find some time every day to do something nice for yourself. Otherwise you won't be able to take care of your grandbaby when you need to. [/QUOTE]
