Name: Anonymous on Nov 30, 2009State: FLCountry: USComments: Grandparents should be able to see their grandkids IF it is in tnhe best interest of the child. If you are one of those grandparents who just shows up whenever u feel like it and gives empty promises..(like sending a card saying a birthday package is on its way and it never shows up..) or just comingto visit unannounced and expect the child and mother to stop their lives for you..then thats wrong and thats not ok...but if you are a grandparent who has been around and has helped out and been a part of a childs life..then sure...but all of these part time/dead beat grandparents needs to get a gripFlag

Name: Samanthia Egana on Dec 3, 2009State: ALCountry: USComments: I have been raising my granddaughter for almost 6 years. She is 8 years old now. Her mother lives in Fl. The mother filed a petition for custody in August of 09. She abbandoned the child in 2004.We are fighting for custody. If she should be given custody, then I believe we should be able to have visitation. Especially since her mother is a virtual stranger to her.Flag

Name: Phyllis Wheeler on Dec 30, 2009State: FloridaCountry: United StatesComments: Along with grandparents rights to full custody, there are situations that discrimination plays a huge part in. My reason for signing this petition are my rights as a grandparent have been taken away by DCF with the help of Guardian Ad Litem. There was a conflict of interest on behalf of both parties. Staff members of both organizations were fully aware of what I wanted as a grandmother of oldest granddaughter for 9 years, and youngest granddaughter 16 months now. I was given cutodial rights of baby in August of 2009 when she left hospital, then 5 months later, I had to return to seeking employment , not fiancially capable of taking care of granddaughter any longer. Also our economy made finding a job immediately impossible. So a job took months to find.. I lost all rights at last court hearing because of a bias opinion of organizations and paternal grandparents (whom are in denial) about life there son and my daughter (parents of granddaughers) live. In fact these organizations failed to give Judge full facts of several events that were important. Without this information, and giving false testimony. Losing my rights also affected great grandparents, grandmothers, many aunts/uncles and cousins whom relationship was started with both of young girls. These events are devastating to all of us. And I've known 2 different people with organizations who left jobs, for the fact that there guidlines have been greatly abused. These were people with integrity. Dept. Of Children and Family Services in no longer the organization it used to be. It is in need of help immediately. Thank you Ocala, Fl.Flag

Name: Cathy O'Connor on Feb 17, 2010State: FloridaCountry: United StatesComments: These kids from the "entitlement generation" are using their children as pawns to get material things from thier parents because they are too lazy to earn it themselves. And in return, the laws in FL and other states give these ungrateful brats the right to keep the children from us Grandparents whenever it suits them. The Grandchildren are the ones who suffer. It is truly heartbreaking. All it seems we can do is pray for them.Flag

Name: Kelly Wegley on Mar 30, 2010State: FloridaCountry: United StatesComments: I as a grandparent am shocked that I have no rights! I have 3 children (23-21-18) and 3 grandchildren (6-3-2wks) whom all live with me. My oldest grandchildren have lived with me for over 3 yrs now. I have given $, food, shelter and a lot of unconditional love to all. Its not right that if my daughter decided you can't see them anymore that as a grandparent I have to say ok and never see them again. I would have been devestated if I was never allowed to see my grandparents, I would of went through hell and back to see them!Flag

Name: Anonymous on Apr 19, 2010State: FloridaCountry: United StatesComments: Separtion from loved ones are hard on everybody. When a child has had dependable stable care from his grandparents that love him and then because of their parent's death have been separated from that child, that separation causes more pain. Pain for the Grandparents and for the grandchild. This is where we are at. We have requested visits, are helping to support the mother finacially but are getting less and less visits. It is ashame we are suffering and we also know that the grandchild who is now 3 + is confused, and wants to stay with us when he sees us, even though it is more infrequent. Please anyone who gets this message please know good families are being hurt because we grandparents have little rights.Flag

Its foolish to give the child to a foster family, when their own grandparents are willing to raise them!Flag

It is frustrating to grandparents who are caring for their grandchild especially during the very young age to have no rights especially when the parents are not together and the mother is not cooperative.Flag

Name: Debby on Aug 25, 2012State: FloridaCountry: United StatesComments: Not allow grandchildren to see their grandparents or in my case my daughter and husband pick and choice who my granddaughter may seem. I was allowed to see my Granddaughter when she was 4 weeks old and now she is turning 6 yrs old and have never been allowed to see her since then. The only way I have seen what my granddaughter looks like is through Facebook pictures which they now stopped that. My daughter decided to reverse the role she is the parent and I am the child and everthing that I did or said to her during the growing up stage is now in her eyes WRONG along with alot of fabricated stories. If I bow down and beg I may be allowed to see my Granddaughter but if I take one step out of place or say one thing wrong than I am out again. Now if I shower my daughter with lots of gifts and money like her husbands Mother bought them with houses, trucks, boats, jobs etc etc, then I can be forever there. That epidose has been going on since my daugther was 16 and I could never compete then with her money, and even more less now. Since when did the child become the parent and make the parent feel terrible for raising them? And only do this to one parent? She not only had her natural Father but an adopted Father that she does not hold account for nothing and both of these individuals will say they do not know where she is coming from or where she gets her made up stories. Then you have the other Grandmother that comes with many GrandFathers who showers them with not only money but very expensive gifts etc. Then you got the adopted GrandFather that is more like a kid than a parent the granddaughter is allowed to cuss and do whatever she pleases at his house at the age of 6. But no one says nothing cause if you do then your on the outs with the Mother and Father of this child and will not be allowed to see or talk to her until they have you go through therapy. And please lets not exclude all the other family members involved from Aunts to Uncles, cousins and even wicked step GrandMothers that all seem to pick one family member to gang up on and decide whom this child can see or not see. How fair is it that all these adults have nothing else better to do in thier lives than to take an innoccent little girl and mold her mind in to believing this Grandparent is no good and you can't see them? All because you were mad that this parent wouldn't let you do this or that when you were a child. Or because now your the new wife so I don't want you in this child life? Or I have more money than you so I will buy my way in? What gives them the power to do this? How low and cruel will other human beings go just to destroy an other individual? What satification does another human being get from keeping an child from seeing or getting to know their grandmother just because they don't like this person? What has happened to peoplse morals, kindness? I just can't begin to tell you the pain this is. Not only loosing a daughter but now a Granddaughter. What is wrong with people? Why are their so many people in this world that actually get satisification out of seeing others hurt? Now to me those are the individuals that need therapy not me.Flag
