    Angry What Can a Grandparent Do to Protect a Grandchild

    My question involves guardianship in the State of: Arkansas

    I will try n make this as short as possible.. I have a 3yr old granbaby and I have seen and heard enough.. I try n stay away from my kids place because it just gets me irritated there r times when the house is clean(most of the time not) but it still doesnt hide the fact u can see roaches a leaking fridge leaking of old rotted food my child already has had city citations due to the filth outside I was told the roach problem was gone but its not its worse than ever I was recently there and couldnt believe my eyes I mean the conditions are not fit for a dog... Not to mention all the needles and drug paraphernalia laying around weird random druggies squatting there.. Physical abuse as well...Theres soo much more but im sure u get the picture....

    I have called the proper people about the meth lab as well as the DHS hotline and it seems like NOTHING is being done about either problem...

    I have called legal aid and I am soo hoping my application will get approved I am seeking guardianship
    For the most part I would say 85% of the time I have the baby with me... I have bought all of her clothes her food and any other needs..
    I felt like crap when I did the baby back over there I kept asking myself why did I keep doing so and it dawned on me because I was reassured by my ex-husband he was looking out after the baby.. Well come to find out he is also hooked on the needle and meth... (The baby tells me how she gets into trouble for messing with the needles) as well as asking me if I had weed and pills she could have "im like WOW REALLY?? Umm no baby those things are bad... Then I go on to distract her
    so now that I know my ex is just as neglectful as the rest of the them...

    It hit me I CANT TAKE THE BABY BACK!! I REFUSE!! and yes my child has been harassing me and normally im being begged to take the baby off her hands.. I was just like in total shock when I went there last week to get the baby and the conditions that are horrific it has been a VERY long time since ive been there let alone be inside


    Im pretty sure that my kid would call the police on me for kidnapping and I have thought ya know if u try n take the baby away I will spill ALL the beans about ur drug dealings.....


    I just dont know what to do...

    My kid is expecting and demanding the baby back by 8am 2marrow ....

    Im really thinking about driving to the police station with the baby and letting them know the situation and y I dont want to return the baby...
    Who in their right mind would tell me to return her no matter what is going on.. cuz I swear if anything happened I would sue my city for everything they had

    So what is everyones advice for me..

    Thank you in advance....

    Default Re: I Refuse to Return My Granbaby ( I Have No Legal Rights on Paper)

    You best give that child back the very second the parent demands the return.

    You have the words of a 3 year old who, unfortunately, sounds "coached" to begin with - this is NOT going to stand up in court.

    The fact that you're absolutely FINE with the parents' drug dealings if you're allowed to keep the child speaks volumes about you.

    If DHS have not seen fit to remove the child, that indicates that things are not as you describe.

    (Incidentally, you wouldn't have grounds to sue the city for anything. The city does, however, have the right to penalize you to the fullest extent of the law)
