My sister lost her kids (Hailey and Josh) in the midst of a divorce. The father took the kids from Alberta to BC In the middle of the school year to live with his mom at a church that is almost on the verge of being shut down. The Dad's mother has no job and I am not too sure what her husban does. The father himself does not have a job as of yet . The kids are being provided either with offerings received at the church or other peoples generosity. The kids are not able to go to a proper school and get a proper education. Hailey is partially blind and needs proper eyewear and regular eye check-ups as well as medications for her ADHD which cannot be provided. Josh has now developed a speech impediment (probably due to the stress of his parents separating) and has a difficulty communicating with others around him.

If you have more to offer...Go for it! It couldn't hurt! It looks like the father just took them from your sister for spite....then dumped them on his mother...who is clueless if she lives in and off a church. What could you do to them that could possibly be worse? Try it. You just may save their lives and the future of their offspring. If you can't care for them as they need, at least you will call the court's attention to the neglect they're experiencing now.

You can petition the probate, sometimes called family court, for custody. Be ready to prove that the father isn't adequately providing for the children, and you should address their special needs. It's difficult to get custody from a parent, but it can be done. Best of luck!

First thing you need to do is get a Lawyer right away. Then they can help you go from there. Try to get as much info on the children's home life as you can. Good Luck & May God Bless You...
