My husband and I are caring for our 17 month old grandson. this has benn an-on-and-off thing, whenever our daughhter,age 17 can't or won't care for him. she runs with a drug crowd, and takes him for a 'while' every few days. Problem: he comes back a different child, from angellic to abrasive. He calls me mommie, has for a long time. The three of us signed a personal agreement that she would not take him from our home until she could care for him properly. reports of concern have been made by his pediatrician to DFS, no results. our fear is when she takes him with her, the exposures and dangers ( no carseat, presence of drugs,etc.) What can we do? I understand it is not abandonment if she isn't gone at least 6 months, or tells people she wants him back. We are afraid for our grandson because of the lifestle of the mom, couch tocouch, job, no jonb, etc. I am considering petitioning for temp guardianship, but i don't know if i have a good case. child's dAd abused daughter, left to jersey, won't contact son. what can we do? Our daughter was banned from the apartment complex we live in due to her abrasive behavior, and i do not feel safe around her. Hubby and I are in counceling for this issue. Thanks for any suggestions. Granny at age 34.
