Its time Grandparents and Families in Florida take back our children. Children and Family Services have misused their power given to them by the Government and are classified to many as a Legal Kidnapping Organization. Grandparents have Little to no rights over the power of the CPS. Most grandchildren hold a strong bond with their grandparents. It is more healthy for the child(ren) to be in the care of their grandparents than to face the trauma of being in shelter or in Foster care. Old records automatically eliminate grandparents from getting custody of the child(ren). Proof of Completion that satified the court will not be reviewed by the CPS. Many requests to care for grandchildren are denied due to these old records that may have nothing to do with child abuse. Please stop them from kidnapping our grandchildren and give us rights over the CPS. ( The only acception should be previous Child Abuse, Sexual abuse, murder or other serious charges)

My grandbabies deserve to be with family not strangers. This system is completely broken and needs a major overhaul.

Its ridiculous that an old mistake keeps me from seeing my own grandkids. Laws need to change now.

Family should always come first. My kids grew up with their grandma and it made them better people.

CPS took my grandkids away when I could have easily provided a better home. It was a nightmare for everyone involved.

THIS IS TRUE LEGAL KIDNAPPING. Let grandparents help the kids instead of throwing them to foster homes that dont want them.
