This petition is being put together for the welfare of Baby Andrew. Baby Andrew was a victim of child abuse, the alleged abuser Austin Griffitt was arrested and released on 5,000 bond. His mother Savannah Marie Porter still has parental consent on this child. Since he has been in the hospital December 9th, she has been to visit him 4 times. His Nanny and Papa (Cynthia Owens and Charles Owens) have been by his side since the moment they were notified that day. His mother is still standing by Mr Griffitts side and has not been involved with Andrews recovery whatsoever. We have all come together and have been following this story ever since via facebook. We are petitioning that his maternal grandparents The Owens be granted physical and primary custody once he leaves the hospital. The fact that his abuser is back on the street and his mother is still planning to be with him, makes us very nervous for him to return to her care. This baby is an absolute Miracle and has overcome all the doctors prognosis's. He is making a speedy recovery, although he has much more to do. Please help us support this and sign this petition for his grandparent's to receive custody once he leaves the hospital. He needs to be in a safe environment and that is with Cynthia and Charles Owens.

Thank You for Your Time

please allow custody to the Owens. i have followed Baby Andrew and his story since day 1. His mother seems as if she does not care that her boyfriend almost killed her 6 week old son. Andrews young mother sounds very immature and shows no remorse.

This child is miracle and testimony to a grandparents never ending love and God has a plan. Please make sure he is safe. The onlybway to guarantee that is to send him home with his grand parents who have sacrificed so much for this precious child.

His Nanny and Papa deserve custody! They have not left little Andrew's side, and have been there for every battle he's overcome and held his hand to comfort him during times of pain. He deserves the love and care they are able to sufficiently provide.

This baby needs to be safe and away from the mother who not only left her son with the person who inflicted such awful abuse but she also stands by him and is intending to marry this monster! Baby Andrew needs to be safe with his loving grandparents.

Andrew needs to be in the custody of his grandparents. He faced death once by being with his mother. This child deserve a chance at life and to not have to worry about having his life cut short by being in the wrong hands. do what is right for Andrew
