[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 648923, member: 1233"] Not sure of the rules in your state, but you need to document everything. If she is violent to anyone, call the cops. If the boyfriend is violent, call the cops. If they are intoxicated, driving intoxicated with the child or without, driving without a car seat, etc... call the cops. Also keep a log. Get a notebook and write down everything. Include date, time, all people who were there, what was said and what was done. The more you document, the better your chances. Keep calling CPS and reporting abuse when you see it. Have OTHER PEOPLE also call, ones who are not relatives. If all the calls are from you, your daughter can claim that you just want her daughter and are making things up or trying to cause trouble. If others call, then it is often taken more seriously. Get the Aspire app put out by Robin McGraw's foundation. It looks like a news app on your phone, but it records everything going on around you and it calls numbers that you designate. It is designed to provide rapid assistance, to let law enforcement know what is going on before they get into the situation, and to provide actual recordings to help in court if needed. Best of all???? It is totally FREE. Be aware that it may be hard to get custody. You would be best off doing it when your daughter spends a few days in jail or whatever that she cannot keep the baby for. Or if she goes off to a party for a couple of days, or if she asks you to babysit but does not come home for a day or two (if she does that). While you have the child and she is unable to for whatever reason/choice, go to the court and get a temp order. You may need an attorney for this and it may be hard. Around here it can either be super easy or take an act of the Lord himself for a grand to get custody or even for many parents to get sole physical custody. Two counties over it is really easy for parents to lose custody over drug, alcohol and abuse issues. So it varies a LOT based on where you live. I hope the child's best interests are what happens, and that she is not exposed to any more abuse. [/QUOTE]
