Quote From: lsc777My grandson has been removed from his Dads home due to being beaten.. He does not want to go back there... But it looks like due to first offense that they will simply put him back there... His case worker doesn't seem to want to help him as he tells her he does not want to go back and she tells him he has no say.. He is 16. He wants to live with us (his grandparents)...
I have tried to contact his case worker and my calls are not returned... I need help.. I don't know what to do or where to go.. He is living with a non-blood relative.. His step mothers brother who has 3 little ones himself due to his wife running off.
My husband and I would love to have him but what can we do??
Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated..
I really don't understand the whole child protective services program...how many times does it take before they remove a child permanently??
Can you talk with DAD, and offer to take your grandson? Where is his MOM? Legally, your hands are tied...children's services can't give out information to you without DAD's consent...However, your grandson is 16...in some states, he is legal to leave his dad, and live where he wants to...check with the laws in your grandson's state...can you hire a lawyer for your grandson? That might help in the process of getting him away from his abusive dad, and into your home, if that is what your grandson chooses.
