What is the name of your state? ca
A 16-year old girl had a baby boy in June 2004 (child is of mixed race)by my now 18 year old son (his birthday is in December) and because of her age, having no job and still in school she lives with her parents. Her parents refuses to let my son or me (grandmother) have anything to do with the baby. The 16-year old daughter says that she signed papers while in the hospital for emancipation but have no money and is still in school so she is dependent on her parents. She has had to sneak the baby over on 3 occasions but it is very stressful on her. Her father has been known to be abusive to her and her sister and she doesn't want to 'set him off'. I have called and spoke with her mother and was told that they do not want my son in the child's life because they do not like him. I have given the girl money for the child, but the parents found out and told her not to accept anything from his (my sons) family because they don't need our help or involvement in the child's life. The child has been sick since birth. I have told the daughter to have the child checked for several things that run in my family and it seems that the child is still sickly. I have tried to be patient with her parents hoping they will come around, but enough is enough. Due to the child always being sick it is time the both sides come together and figure out how to help this child. What are my rights as a maternal grandmother due to the other maternal grandparents not wanting my family to have anything to do with the child? It is not the girl but she is underage.
