Dalila, I've been there, done that. In fact, I was seriously involved with Grandparent's "Rights" for quite some time. What I learned is that grandparents don't have any rights to their grandchildren unless there is serious abuse going on in their home. Then it becomes Grandparent Custody. If this couple was investigated, the kids would probably be removed because of the filth and unhealthy conditions of the home, but my husband and I wouldn't have a chance because we live in a small, one bedroom mobile home and we're at least 20 years older than the maternal grandparents. Besides, CPS is a really sick joke! They do more harm than good. If been down this road before.

It's been my experience that when grandparents do happen to get visitation, it's worse for the kids because when they are being kept from the grandparents, it's usually a power struggle to begin with. The parents will play the kids just like kids in a bad divorce. I wouldn't do that to my grandkids.

Worst of all? I'm in California and this state doesn't have any "Grandparent's rights."

Thanks anyway for answering and caring.
