I need help Please, this started with DSS, the process was started because there was a problem with my daughter. Yes, I am the grandmother. But throughout this twisted process, I was not considered for the task of taking my 3 grandchildren. An I asked the DSS worker many times. But the person that wanted the youngest boy so badly, was friends with the DSS worker, an the couple that desperately wanted the older girl, whom I have raised from birth, for themselves. Now, in the end, DSS is out of it, an custody was decided,an I wasn’t even given the chance. Now, a year + later, we aren’t allowed to see the middle little, do not know where she lives or goes to school. When my daughter asked where she stayed after school, she was told it was none of her **** business. The judge staed my daughter was to have at Least 2hrs visitation each week, an more if she wanted it. The unsupervised would be to thier discretion. As it stands now, the youngest little boy, Will, is with his Dad an doin beautifully. We talk to him an video chat all the time, only he lives 3 hrs away. The middle little girl is my main concern. Leanne, the we call her Petals (her middle name is Rose) the other grandchildren started with Petals an it stuck.

When that did not work, she fought for Petals out of spite, with the help she had from DSS we didn’t stand a chance. The oldest, Gracie, is with ‘stand in’ paternal grandparents. Who now won’t allow me or anyone to have any unsupervised time with her. There are many, many things big an small that has happened but I must try my best to get my granddaughters back. I will never give up. But I can’t afford an attorney, an I do Not know how to navigate this big mess without possibly making it worse. Please, I have no one to ask, or help
