[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 640359, member: 1550"] This is tragic. I forgot you were in the UK, but it's not better in the US either. The social workers we had, and they had a high "quit" rate, tended to be little more than kids who never raised a child and did not know much about life. It was appalling. Also, I adopted a now young man who had autism and I am again appalled that the SS is not taking his special issues into consideration. My son would have been a mess if he'd been dragged all over the place...he needed, and still prefers, predictability, stability, and the knowledge that he knows what will happen each day. I am angry for you that this poor little boy is being sacrificed for the mother...not that your daughter is horrible...but she isn't equipped to be anyone's mother right now...and you are. It is heartbreaking. Kids can be resilient though. You are the stability he needs. He knows he can count on you. He will learn more and better ways to cope as he gets older. My son is doing so much better. Autism, unlike some other disorders, often improves as the person gets older. I am in awe, after knowing the whole story, of the love you hold in your heart for both of your loved ones, but your commitment to your grandson is nothing short of inspiring. I guess going to a lawyer may not be helpful in the UK. We have these little differences country to country. You are doing so much for this little guy and he won't forget it. Ever. [/QUOTE]
