[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 97618, member: 30"] Thanks for the responses. I tried calling the two numbers we have for their cell phones again today and they are still shut off. I am going to try, to drive up to his school tomorrow and ask his dad or his girlfriend, whoever picks him up, if I can take him out for lunch and spend a couple of hours with him. I am not all about calling CPS on people. Our difficult child did that very thing to us and it wasn't cool at all, but I am concerned. I can usually read a situation correctly and do trust myself. I can't put my finger on what the problem is, but do feel that there is one. I am not thrilled about his living situation, or how his "parents" parent him. But, I firmly believe that children belong with their parents, except in the case of abuse or blatant neglect. My grandsons parental figures are immature, irresponsible, ignorant and selfish. I do believe that his father does love him and cares about him. I haven't witnessed the girlfriend do anything that I would consider abuse or neglect. I also believe that my difficult child daughter loves and cares about him too, but all those negative attributes listed above get in the way. I am hoping that with intervention from CPS, his current parental figures can learn appropriate ways of parenting and my grandson and his sister will have some sort of stability in their lives. The CPS supervisor I spoke to this week, told me that they could do psychological testing on my grandson and that they would visit him this week. I think that's a good idea. I have heard good and bad regarding having CPS doing the testing. I hope I will be able to see the results, I probably shouldn't be allowed to, but I have been amazed at the things these people have told me. MidwestMom, interesting that you asked if they were doing drugs. The lady from CPS asked me the same thing. That is what she thought it sounded like. I am not aware of any drug usage. Of course my difficult child daughter is no longer married to my grandsons father, but she is still friends with them. My difficult child oddly never had a problem telling me about things that she as a teen, especially a difficult child teen did. She told me all kinds of things she participated in without an ounce of embarrassment. She never mentioned that bio dad did drugs. [/QUOTE]
