[QUOTE="klmno, post: 287536, member: 3699"] I feel sure that it is illegal for them to tell anyone who just calls up whether or not a kid is even committed, much less what facility they are in. However, that doesn't stop miss GAL from running her mouth. As far as mail, my family can't mail to difficult child if they don't even know where he is. If GAL runs her mouth, it's a different story of course. The parent had no say-so as far as listing anything regarding who can contact the difficult child. This is what worries me- along with adding fuel to the fire with GAL. I am thinking about sending an email to my mother and kind of re-couping what we talked about. For one, this documents things with dates and she'll probably repsond and eventually, some things should become obvious. There were previous emails that I wrote about before on General that showed she clearly couldn't grasp the point of difficult child's status in school and stuff. It wasn't about critical matters but shows her inability to "get it" and interpret correctly. For another thing, if I email her and reiterate (sp) that she can visit if she comes up here it will show ANOTHER effort to keep her in difficult child's life. (She's the one that finds every excuse in the book not to ccome- so did my bro- then they both complained that I cut them out of difficult child's life.) And, I'm thinking that I can tell her she can send a letter to difficult child to me and as long as it's just supportive and light- no family carp- that I will forward it to him and he can write to her thru me as well. As long as they are talking about typical stuff I have no problem with that. This way, I can prove that I'm not trying to prevent a relationship, but I am monitoring it. I think that should be acceptable. Grandparents rights don't mean that parents still don't have more rights. I think this would be good for difficult child and lets my mother know that she can have a relationship with him- but she HAS to respect certain boundaries. Now, I still wouldn't be surprised at all if she calls and cries to the GAL and the GAL tells her whatever she wants to know and talks to the judge about it. All of that is against the rules, however, it wouldn't be the first time this GAL has done it. [/QUOTE]
