What is the name of your state? Colorado
I have raised my niece since she was eleven years old. Now, she is in her mid thirties with three children of her own. I have acted in the capacity of a grandmother since the day each child was born and have a close relationship with each of them.
Recently, my niece was arrested on drug and prositituion charges. Social Services became involved: her two ten year old twins were sent to live with me and her three year old daughter was allowed to stay with her father (who was living with my neice when the drug abuse and prositution were said to be occurring).
I am afraid that the children are not spending a lot of time with each other. The boys miss their sister as they were very close to their her. Do I have any rights (perhaps as a grandparent) to gain visitation with the little girl, so that the boys can visit with their sister?
Does anyone have any other ideas as to steps one can take to allow the children to spend more time together if the father continues to refuse such visits?
Thank you for reading this message.
