that guy knows a lot of gang members and i wouldnt want to risk my other kids getting hurt.

Answer 1

I think you shoul get your grandaughter because baby's are innocent. And you of all people should know your daughter better than anyone if you think she's acting funny you cant really make her leave her boyfriend but you can call the cops on him especially if he's wanted Also if you feel threatened by himor anyone else you can get a restraining order.

Answer 2

Well first of all, you sound like one of those crazy grandmothers who so desperately want attention and something to live for that they will try and steal their kids kids. So no, you definately should not have custody of that child. On the other hand if there is abuse, verbal or physical, you need to do something. If he is wanted by the police like you claim, then call and have him arrested. Personally I think you are lying about that. As for the burns, have another family member, a large one, teach that guy a lesson and make sure he stays away from your daugter. Like I said, the police will take him if he is wanted...otherwise you could always call and say you witnessed him hit your daughter and he will be arrested for domestic. That's not a bad idea, but only if you know he is abusive. Then the kid will still be able to stay with it's mom and the guy will be out of the house, until he gets out anyway, that's where the large family member comes into play again.

Answer 3

There are too many red flags and u as her loving mom and loving grandmother need to speak up or two graves may be dug
1 your daughter 2 your grand daughter. U have EVERY right to speak up on this one and u can't stand aside and allow this to keep happening. Ur daughter has to know that u notice all this, because ur not blind.

She may want u to do something abnd just don't want to come right out and say anything. She's ur flesh,blood and bone and u need to say something because this guy is abusing her and ur grand daughter u sitting back not saying anything u will hate ur self later if something should happen and u had the chance to say and do something about it.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SPEAKUP

Answer 4

What is wrong with you? Your baby granddaughter is being abused and you do nothing? It is one thing to not do anything for your daughter, as she has a choice. But this baby has no voice in the matter. You need to call DHS and have this investigated. I wouldn`t be having to ask strangers what to do either. I would have already done something. You say you are afraid of him as he knows gang members, but you intend on taking your grandchild. You do not think this is going to cause a problem with him? You should explain everything to the authorities and tell them you are afraid of him. If he threatens you get a restraining order.

Answer 5

Wow, I can't believe you'd come on here for an answer to that! Sounds like you already know something is wrong. I'm all for people making their own mistakes, but sounds like your daughter is in a horrible situation. Please save your granddaughter AND your daughter before it's too late! Go to the authorities. Get help for them. My mother was beaten so many times by her first husband. That lasted for 10 years. My big sister (although she was young) saw everything. She didn't know how to leave. He would tell her that no one else would want her. Your daughter could be in the same situation.

Please, go get help before you regret not doing anything.....

Answer 6

You can call child protective services. The police can help you find the right authorities to call.

Answer 7

your daughter is hiding what is really going on, get your grandbaby out of that situation now!!!!!!!!! and call the child protection services now. she will denie everything to you to protect her b/f. maybe cause he is threatining her if she tells she will be sorry. you have saw the proof. its in your daughters eyes and on your grandbabys body. get involved and stop it now!!!!

Answer 8

I agree with others.
You have knowledge of this child being abused, and you did'nt report it.
If the child were to die, YOU can be also held liable for that childs death.

Answer 9

TALK TO HER, IF SHE WON'T TALK TELL HER YOUR GOING TO THE POLICE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE BABY. IF SHE GETS MAD, SHE GETS MAD. YOU COULD HAVE THE POLICE THERE WHEN YOU TALK TO HER. GOOD LUCK. HOPE SHE DECIDES TO GROW UP SOON AND BE A GOOD MOTHER WITHOUT HIM IN HER LIFE.

Answer 10

If your gut instinct is telling you that this child is being harmed you MUST act immediatley.Your grand daughters safety is paramount. PLEASE do something NOW
