I am going to guess he is England or another former British colony and not the US.

Additionally, having noted the user name, I doubt he will take advice from anyone that tells him he doesn't call the shots.

12 is such a wonderful age.

They "beats" you do they..What do the bobbies say when it was reported?

"Not the US" is my guess, too.

The bosses' post was tacked onto an archived thread so this thread was created for him/her from that post.

Regardless of the country, a 12 year old cannot be adopted by their grandmother without the parents' consent or that of the relevant child services agency.

It could depend on the country.

We don't know the country and cricket is a popular sport in several countries.

Of course they can't. Especially when it for the child to play cricket and, as an aside, a "beats" by the parent/s.

I will say it is rather nice to know that the stupid sense of entitlement is not just here in the states.

Not necessarily true. The laws in the US are not universal.

I know...

No, they're not. But as it happens, I know not a lot about the relevant laws in Canada, the UK, and Ireland, but enough to be able to make that assertion.

How about the law in India, a country where cricket is also popular?

Age of majority in India is 18 and there are no provisions whatsoever for it to be any earlier. India's laws regarding custody lean towards the mother but do not give the children rights to choose.

How about the Republic of South Africa (check the Children Act) or Sri Lanka or Pakistan or Bangladesh or New Zealand? Cricket is a more popular sport there than it is in the UK.

We do not have the information necessary to say anything about a grandparent adoption, including the most important information which is the country involved.

I agree that the odds seem slight that any adoption would be approved without parental consent if denying a child the opportunity to play cricket is the only factor considered.
