Hi and thank you for adding me to this Website A place I had hoped I would never have to find. I have been silently observing and praying for each and every post since I joined. Warning: this will probably be a long one.
I am a Grandma and was myself in the foster system as a teenager after enduring abuse at the hands of my father and other family members. I swore to be a better mom and raised my four boys into their adulthood.
Recently my 2 month old granddaughter had fallen off the bed and hit her face on a nightstand. When my son and his wife took her to the hospital he was arrested and charged with felony aggravated abuse and neglect.
CPS has so far allowed the baby to stay with her mom. My son was threatened and coerced into giving a confession and his Miranda rights were violated when he asked for an attorney.
We have court for the cps case on Oct 19. I live in a camper and am sure that, if CPS wanted to take her they would not allow me to have her due to my housing.
The mother does not have family that is even remotely safe as they are all abusive and addicts.
The felony court is not until Nov 14 and my son still does not have a lawyer because he has not been to court yet and his bond reduction was denied without his presence to ask for a public defender.
My son is the gentlest and kindest person ever, if it were one of my other boys I may believe it possible, but not with him!
We are gathering as many texts, character statements and photographic evidence of him being a gentle dad as we can.
Does anyone have any further suggestions to help us keep the baby and free my son?
