    Comments: My husband and I have been denied visitation with our 4 grandsons for almost 5 months now, yet so has their father even though he has court ordered visitation,ex has moved we can not locate her or the boys,school board refusing to give out info even though it is in violation of state law,our entire family has been harrassed, death threats and home broken into along with vandalism for almost 3 years now and it seems nothing can be done unless you have thousands of dollars for an attorney and then we are told we may not win, or as the ex and her family tell us,"sign away your rights to the boys and we will leave you alone."Our ex-daughter-in-law lived with us for a year and a half during which I cared for the oldest,since birth, after the second grandson was born,I cared for him also, then the twins as the mom was always running around while our son worked,after the divorce,our son was wiped out finacially and resided with us,then we were able to see the boys,we took them to church,the zoo, reading programs at the library,camping just playing,every afternoon we would have tea and sit and talk or read books or make crafts, now nothing as the mom and her boyfriend who the last we heard was married to someone else has dissolved into thin air.We feel no one cares about the children, it is like one police officer told us,"no one cares,the one with the most money wins". We now know his words are true.We even requested mediation form the court and the court did not even reply.

    Comments: grandparents should have a right to see their grandchildren. it's sad today that our own children ar so full of theirselves that they don't care about their own parents anymore. i worked three jobs providing for my son, to give him what he needed and today if he never sees me again it would not bother him one bit. i made sure he knew his grandparents and he spent a lot of time with them, one reason was because i had to work all the time to keep a roof over his head. i was a single mother, i had no choice. now because i was never home with him, i was not a good mother to him. i lost 80 pounds during that time because i ate bread so he could eat what he needed to be healthy. my daughter in law has disowned her parents and now i guess he has disowned me. i have provided for them since they have been married, i have put clothes on their back, food in their house, put a roof on their house, kept my grandchild in clothes, diapers, formula, shoes, food, toys,ect. for 18 months, now they want me to be no part of her life anymore because my daughter in law has treated me like crap since my granddaughter has been born. it does't bother her to call me at work and need me to buy something. i have help them out so she could stay home with her, now she says i'm trying to tell them how to raise her. i see her maybe twice a week. she loves me and i love her. she always cries to stay with me because they will not stay at our house very long at a time. we just start playing and they jerk her up and say they are going home. i love her so much and now i will never get to see her again because our laws are only for the people that are wrong in their decisions, and because the people making these decisions are to lazy to do anything about it. they are still our flesh and blood, does,t that count for anything any more. i don't want much, just to see her for a hour or two a week without her mother present so i can enjoy her. when she looks at her mother and tells her bye that says a whole lot. i would never make her stay if she didn,t want to, or let her cry for her mother. she loves her mother, but she loves her grandmother to. that should count for something.

    Comments: I have a very close friend who is not being allowed to see her 18 month old granddaughter by her son. My friend is bipolar and was recently unjustly fired from her place of employment which she had been at for 16 years. Since being terminated from her place of employment she has O.D.'ed and has cut her arm. She has not and would not do anything to herself in the presence of her grandaughter nor would she compromise or endanger the little girls physical or emotional safety in any way whatsoever. I don't consider it to be an emotional help for either my friend nor her young grandaughter to not be allowed to see each other. They had a very close and loving relationship when they were allowed to see each other and I do not feel that seperating them entirely is beneficial to the emotional and/or mental status of either. All my friend wants is the right to see and visit her grandaughter, whom she loves more than life itself, even if it's with supervised visitation. She misses her grandaughter very much and I have no doubt that the grandaughter misses the extremely close bond which the two of them shared with each other when they were allowed to be together. Not being allowed to see her grandaughter has very nearly pushed my friend to the very limits of her emotional edge. After losing everything but her car due to the termination of her employment, not being allowed to see her grandaughter has come very close to truly destroying her mental, emotional and physical well being. And I am sure that the grandaughter is being damaged by being denied the undeniable love, caring and bond that was extremely evident each and every time anyone was to see the two of them together. Thank you very much.

I have one grandchild here in the United States and one in the United Kingdom and she is denying me access to either child.

    Comments: I have a new grandson born Feb 8, 2006. He only weighs 2 lbs 8 oz. My daughter-in-law has denied me access to my grandson and will not give me the medical password so that I may check on his condition. I believe she knows that I will find out that this is a case of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. I don't know if I have any rights in my state or not...I am going to begin my search tomorrow. I hope that I do not meet a deadend. I believe that all grandparents should have rights to their grandchildren. Parents and the courts do not realize that grandchildren are one of the most precious of all gifts from God.

    Comments: My mother, father and myself have helped raise and are very close to my nephew. His mother died of cancer 3 years ago and my brother remarried within 4 months. The new wife has been expected to be treated as his mother since day one. She has complete control over when my nephew can visit my parents and for how long. The emotional effects on this child and our family are devasting. She also uses my nephew by keeping his from our family if she feels like it. My sister and I can not have children. This is the only grandchild my aging parents have. Is there anything that can be done Michelle Mclaughlin

    Comments: I have seen to many cases in which the grandparents were better parents than the one parent who has been given custody, the courts need to look at this. The grandchildren "DO" want to live with their grandparents, and are lucky to see their grandparents once a month or less. This has to stop. We must look at what is best and safest for the babies, not the hate filled custodial parent who is out to show who is boss. What about the children That should be the only concern by the courts. The courts MUST always listen to the grandchildren, and ask them direct questions. You may find out the life they are living with their custodial parent is horrible and do what's right for the grandchildren.
