First off, family court of Phila.& De.Co.Pa. ordered my 2 year old to live with her pot smoking grandmother just because dad lives there, not because I ever did anything wrong. So what would any of us do in a situation like this? Go to the police and ask them to get your kid out of there. They told me they can't do that even though grandma is breaking the law. So I asked if they could watch her closely to see where she's buying her pot from so they can nail the guy, and the police said no. Then I asked if they could go in her home and inspect it hoping they might find pot lying around some where, and they said no. They told me to get a lawyer so I asked the lawyer what I could do to get my kid out of there and he said get a hair strand test done. So I looked into it calling all over the place and only 1 lab does it in the US & it's not easy to get. If judges and police refuse to help our kids what hope do we have? Lawyers? Are they the only ones who can help us? Scary, don't ya think?

I am sorry for your situation, but without proof, they can do little, your opinion or telling them has little value because you are appearing to be trying to get back at an "ex" over a custody issue.
And in our society a grandma smoking alittle pot is not considered a major deal. Courts have given custody to hooker moms where the court knew what they did.
Next the police do not have the manpower or the money to follow someone for merely pot smokng, and your statment about the drugs is not enough for a search warrant

Police are limited as what they can do without probable cause. They would have to have a search warrant to search her house. Police have to be cautious of entrapment laws. The other reason is because someone could say you are committing a crime because they are mad at you. So police have to have more the mere suspicion, they must have probable cause.
