What is the name of your state? MS
Last week a juvenile gave my adult daughter a puppy. My daughter called the child's guardian with witnesses present and asked if the child could give her the puppy. Grandmother agreed. Now, a week later, the old hag wants the puppy. The kids have cared for the puppy including giving her shots for over a week. The kids want the cost of the care they gave the puppy.
Last night the hag kept calling our home until I blocked her from calling again. She wants the puppy back or $100. She threatened to sign charges against us and our daughter and her husband. This morning she talked another neighbor into calling us about the dog. Today a deputy showed up and urged us to find the dog and return it to the hag. He didn't go as far as to say they allowed her to sign charges.
My husband and I are truck drivers. We were not anywhere around when the puppy was given to our daughter. I'm not worried about us being convicted, but I know this county well enough to know we can be arrested.
First, is possession really 9/10 of the law? Second, if all four adults in this home are arrested, there are two children who will be traumatized. What recourse do we have?
