ive been reading through all the stories you guys are sending me and its heartbreaking to see how many people are in this exact same position. im pushing to get a meeting with some people at the capitol who might actually listen and honestly having all of your support is the only reason theyll even talk to me.

im honestly overwhelmed by how much support this is getting because it shows im not the only one feeling this way. seeing this take off like this gives me so much hope that we can finally get these laws to change.

There should be a law passed when Parents are in s legal battle over visitstion. That the grandparents can have rights for that visitation until things are settled.
Laws in every state should provide grandparents rights for visitation . There would, of course, be exceptions if visiting grandparents could impose danger or harm the children in any way( Drug or alcohol use abuse, etc.)
I just lost the battle of fighting for my grandchildren and now have to get Grandparent visitation rights from the courts.. Heartbroken is not the correct word I feel but it close to it. I love my grandchildren far more than the courts think they know.
I don't think adult children should be allowed to keep their parents from seeing the grandchildren because they are angry about something. To keep a child from knowing an entire portion of their family is just wrong. If a grandparent can prove they are fit, loving, and stable, they should be allowed to visit their grandchildren.
I am a grandmother who has been cut off from my grandchildren due to a family dispute regarding mistakes that my DAUGHTER made. She cannot and will not accept the consequences of her own decisions, and has lashed out at me as a grandparent, using her children as weapons. This is cruel, not only to me, but to my grandchildren, who are to young to understand why I have suddenly disappeared from their lives. Grandparents should at least be given the right to see their grandchildren, regardless of what their relationship is to their parents.
Grandparent should have the right to protect their grandchildren even if it’s from their parents
I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A NIGHTMARE OF A CASE INVOLVING 3 OF MY GRANDCHILDREN, WHICH BY THE WAY I WAS GIVEN CUSTODY OF 2,BUT THE 3RD AND YOUNGEST DCFS LEFT WITH ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER,NOT THE PARENTS, EVEN THOUGH I STOOD IN COURT AND ASKED FOR ALL THREE, AND NOW THEY ARE MOVING FORWAD WITH ADOPTION,AND TELL ME I HAVE NO RIGHTS AS A GRANDPARENT, ACCORDING TO DCFS,WHICH WILL MANIPULATE EVERYONE INVOLVED. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO STEP IN AND CREATE A PROGRAM THAT DCFS HAS TO ANSWER TO, AS OF NOW THEY ARE GOD IN THEY STATE OF LOUISIANA. THEY ANSWER TO NO ONE, AND TOLD ME SO.YES THE STATE OF LOUISIANA NEEDS CHANGES IN THE LAWS CONCERNING GRANDPARENTS, THAT WANT THEIR GRANDCHILDREN!!!....I SIGN THIS PETITION IN HOPES THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE. IF WE HAVE TO MARCH ON THE STEPS OF THE STATE CAPITAL TO GET SOME ATTENTION WE NEED TO DO SO!! PRAYERS FORALL FAMILIES IN THE STATE OF LOUISIANA THAT EVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH DCFS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A GRANDPARENT.

This is needed because grandchildren are being used as pawns for the parents of the child to control grandparents for money or anything & the grandchildren suffer the most emotionally & physically!
