Child Protective Services and Grandparents training part one

Watch all four regardless of where you are in the process. This is part one of a video collection regarding grandparents and extended family seeking custody when the parents are unable to care for the child(ren) appropriately or the state is removing the children unsubstantiated. The videos are geared towards family preservation.

I deleted your comment. Is she hitting you because you are rude and disrespectful like you were to me? If you don't want to be hit, then call CPS and go to foster care. They will remove you immediately.

This is terrible!!! Let me tell you, "grandparents rights" completely destroyed my family. Grandparents with power trips mixed with grandparents rights are a dangerous combination. A grandparent in particular harrassed my family with child protective services. None of the calls were substantiated. Let me tell you something, grandparents are grandparents, not parents. Enjoy your elder years, before they're over. Most grandparents dont have a history of good parenting either, we would know.

Adult children on drugs having babies they can't or won't take care of is a dangerous combination not grandparents wanting to protect and take care of damaged children by out of control parents. Lineage is what it is and grandparents are a critical part of grandchildren's lives.

Yeah well MyGrandMaHitsMe and I have the pics and vids to prove it.

She isn't addressing dysfunctional grandparents here but parents with serious concerns about the welfare of their grandchildren. I am sorry if your parents were crap and subsequently crap grandparents. She is trying to warn those grandparents of the evil's of CPS with regards to the corrupt system and how family courts operate.

grandparents is not always the way to go.

my friend's sister lost her own son because of her mate's touching in appropriately. One dozen years later, she has married this man and now they (the terrible two) have custody through the CAS of their three grandsons. Her ex-stepdaughter tells how horrible life was for her and her brother, yet these three innocent kids live with them. MONEY is the route of all EVIL.

Good Video Jan you missed one important part though. The fact that over seventy percent of children in state custody were never neglected or abused int the first place.  CPS and the state contrive many dependency's simply so they can traffic in babies...

As far as drugs are concerned, if drug related behavior is there yet no drugs are being used, then go get professional help. Drug behavior is very destructive and only those in active addiction disagree.

I am sorry you hate your parents so much that it blinds you to the sacredness of lineage but grandparents are often a critical component providing much needed support to parents. I do not have a god complex and your opinion is not the only one that is valid.

[legaias2009]

Alot of people also have this idea that a parent must be on drugs if things arent going their way. Unless you have hard evidence, photographs, video, audio, and not just "eye witness" accounts and "heard it from a little birdie" nonsence, its safe to say its a control issue. LIke I said above, your not the only ones capable. LIneage goes back further than a grandparent. That is a serious god complex.

[legaias2009]

You say grandparents are a critical part of grandchildrens lives, but what about kids who don't have grandparents? Are they scarred for life because they don't have grandparents? My guess is they are not. Grandparents are not the only family members available to take care of a child that is ACTUALLY being abused or damaged. Alot of grandparents have a notion that if things arent going their way, then its abuse. That is wrong.
