What is the name of your state?DE
I have written before; I'll try again. Since my grandson and daughter have moved in with her boyfriend, he has had 3 unexplained bruises and now a broken arm. He will be 3 in a couple weeks. When he went to the ER, they told the MD they didn't know how it happened. When the arm was set the next week, they and my grandson said he fell off a trampoline. DFS investigated and told me today they are closing the case as unfounded. The worker said my only recourse is to go to family court to request guardianship. How likely is that? Also, when they visited me yesterday, I noticed an orange-sized bruise on my daughter's upper arm - I did not comment. Is there anything legally I can do if she doesn't admit the need for help? I am trying to just be there, but I truly fear for these 2 (I am NOT trying to be domineering), as this guy keeps a gun in the house. Is there any such thing as grandparents' rights in DE? If necessary, I will contact a lawyer, but I'm hoping to get some advice first on which way to go. Again, I'm not trying to take over, just maintain safety. Please help. Thanks. Kathy
