Re: how long before child is considered abandon?
      06/29/04 08:17 PM

I have had this child in my home since he was brought home from the hospital. I believe the neglect is coming from the mom being mentally ill. She has mood swings that are so severe. One minute she is talking and being nice to my son and the next she is telling him she hates him and to get lost. Just yesterday someone called child protective services on the whole family, not me, but the mother and other grandmother. She has a drug addiction to pain killers. It is when she has babysat that my grandson has been found wondering. The mom leaves him with her so she can go out and have a good time. My son is letting the mom see the child right now, but her mom is not allowed to babysit or have him in the house. She is currently staying near her mom. Protective services reported that someone told them that her she has allowed her small children to drink. The other grandmother has 3 small child ages 7=11 in the house. The have raised themselves because of her addiction. From what I am hearing protective services interviewed everyone in the house, all 3 kids, grandmother, mother of my grandson and her girlfriend who was there and who she basically spends all of her time with. They interviewed everyone together in the same room and according to my grandsons mom they said everyone answered the questions correctly and they were not going to pursue the matter further. What a bunch of crap. According to the mom they didn't even ask where my grandson or his father were. My grandson was with me that day. However, they did get mad at my son and me and figured one of us called. What good did it do. They interview people who of course are going to sit there and lie to you to save there behind. All they have to do is watch the house and they would see the neglect etc. I can't believe they just asked questions and said very good goodbye.
