What is the name of your state? Georgia, however the case is in Calif.
My 22 year old daughter is living with my parents in Calif. (we live in Ga) with her now 9 month old daughter. In the last 4-5 months my daughter had been taking off for days at a time, leaving the baby with my parents. Both of my parents are medically unable to care for this baby. My father is a diabetic and on methadone for pain. My mother has back problems and is not suppose to pick anything up. It has been brought to my attention by a cousin that my daughter is back on drugs again. My question is, if I report this to children and family services, is there a chance they will do anything about this situation. And if they do and decide to remove the baby, do I have more rights then my parents (there is no father listed at all).
I feel as if I need to report this to children services but am afraid that the baby will be placed in foster care.
I do have a brother in the area but even though he wasn't charged it was filed that he committed incest. I would hope they would not place my grandchild with him.
A little history on my family- I am a stay at home mom with three other children that are all homeschooled, my husband is disabled and is also home 24 hours a day. While we don't have any extra money, we get by with what we have (VA comp, Social Security, and workers comp).
I know my parents are financially straped (at least that is what they have told me)
Also, my parents are known to try and get custody of other people's children. My husband and I went through a two year battle with them regarding the same daughter, the also sued my brothers ex girlfriend for custody of her child even after they found out he wasn't my brothers.
I don't have the money for another battle but I am in great fear for my grandchild and feel that if necessar we are better equipped to care for her.
Please help!!!!
