What we personally consider to be dangerous is very different than what the law considers as dangerous. As far as drugs are concerned, you would have to prove, with hard cold evidence, that your daughter was not only using drugs, but was directly putting the children at risk at the same time....and that its happening now. So, if you can prove that she drives a car, with the children in it, while under the influence, you have something. However, your word is not proof. You need outside evidence.

As far as the molestation is concerned, you would have to prove that your daughter had the children in direct contact with someone now, who was a proven child molester.
Kids with the best parents in the world can be molested too. That is not a direct sign of an unfit parent.

It does not matter what individuals here think is dangerous. It matters how the law views it and I will tell you right now that unless you can prove that one of the parents have molested the child or can prove that the child has been molested by someone in the parent's life and that the parent has not taken steps to prevent such molestation from happening again then you will not get very far. Regarding drug use, you may find it illegal but the courts will not find it dangerous unless it directly interferes with the parent's ability to provide minimally for the children.

I just consulted a grandparent rights attorney here in San Diego and he is winning over 75% of his grandparent visitation cases and having huge success with grandparent custody cases as well.

That is nice and it means nothing to your particular case. Each case is different and is based on the individual facts. He is also losing over 20% of his cases according to the stats you have provided. If he had five cases he won four. And then you have to ask yourself how he won them -- did they settle? Does he consider that a win? What is his definition? What were the facts of those cases? How do they compare to your case? Does he take every case or just certain ones?
