I think that when the courts are involved it becomes difficult to decide where the line is drawn and when. For example, which grand parent? what about a now divorced step-parent? where can the line stop? I agree that in circumstances like the one you describe, grandparent visitiation is important.

To go through so much at such a young age will make her strong. Keep up the fight and know that you will get through this, you will be a survivor. What a powerful poem.

I personally know what it is like to go without support, if anything I hope it emabarasses the deadbeat parent. I think this is a great idea.

If it was not for this right then our grandchild would only have step-grandparents who are not ideal. In a recent family crisis our grandchild was left several times with the step-step-grandmother and her family. While the step grandpa was at work our grandchild was kicked by an adult,and treated very badly until the step-grandfather came home. Then the attitude and treatment of our grandchild totally turned around so the child would not be believed when he complained. Also one step grandparent told him that he was the cause for the new sibling being in the hospital with a heart defect. That was devestating to our grandchild. But it was good natured teasing on the grandpa's part! He was also told by the step-mother that only retarded people wore glasses and that they teased people who wore glasses in schoolwhen he had to start wearing them.<br/> As the natural grandmother of this child who raised him for the first 5 years after the mother was taken so suddendly I am very resentful of these things. We would never treat any child this way but they can get away with it because who is going to believe a child when they all get together and say the child is lying? <br/>Children need their natural grandparents. Esepcially when the real parent is not able to see what really goes on in a home when he is not there and he believes his wife because it is easier for him to believe her instead of hearing the truth. She lies to get what she wants. This is one of the very best rights that a young child has. If it was not for this right then our grandchild would only have step-grandparents who are not ideal.
