I Dont Understand It

What did they say?

Seems to me that given their mother's behavior, the kids are being subjected to neglect and probably dangerous environments. Would a case worker be at least able to open a investigation to decide if your and the family's fears are of merit?

As to the reason she has 'chosen' this path? Damned if I know.

they interviewed the grand parents and "talked" with sister in law.

they found out where the children were "abandoned" and allowed the grandparents to go under sheriff escort to the residence of this stranger. It couldnt be labeled an abandonment case because sister in law claimed that she was out of town looking for a job and had left the kids with a friend for the remainder of the month.

when the children encountered the grandparents they were happy to see them.

the question was

"Do you want to go and stay with grandma and grandpa?"

it was explained that it would be a long time before their mom would come back for them... however the kids had been lied to.

the kids naively said

"mommy is coming to get us tomorrow... when she comes to get us we will come stay with you, but mommy said not to leave here with anyone."

the sheriff said that was all he could do at that point. since the kids elected to stay and wait for their mother the grandparents had to leave the individuals property immediately.

it would be another 2 weeks before "mommy" came and got the kids.

this was about a month and a half ago.

now we have learned that there is a custody battle between the sister and law - and a random boyfriend who is not the biological father of the children.

drug testing supposedly was commenced on both the mother and this "boyfriend" on Thursday or Friday.

no further news other than my in-laws have gotten themselves a lawyer.
