Very gently I write to you that this is not a case of custody. It is child neglect and abuse. From your posts, the kids are not attending school and are not homeschooled. Mom is using meth and threatening to commit suicide if they tell. That’s emotional abuse. Mom had your grandson arrested under false pretenses. That is beyond comprehension. Unfortunately, it is their word against hers. But there are other ways to determine neglect. Have your grands had regular dental check ups or physical exams?
Don’t let the CPS worker gaslight you. They routinely remove kids from homes. Who knows what the mom may be saying on the other end? She is most likely more concerned about the SS benefits than the health and welfare of her own children. It’s just an awful situation LMS.
I’m sorry, this hits so close to my ordeal with my grands. We can only do so much, especially if the kids are trained to stick up for the abusive parent and to fear authority figures. There’s not much you can do unless your grandson is willing to push for his rights.
Your being available to your grandkids is a shining light and lifeline for them.
Hang in there. Prayers for answers and solutions.
