I know I have probably mentioned my oldest niece M before. She lives in another town and I don't hear from her too often. She usually calls her Grandma when she needs something. M is 20 yrs old (just this month), she had been living with some guy that is 9 years older than she, and they had a baby together. Little Jr. is 18 months old.
Mom was worried because she hadn't heard from M in a couple of months. M had called and wanted Grandma and Grandpa to co-sign so she and boyfriend could get a cell phone. The answer was NO, and she didn't call back. Dad called M's dad yesterday and found out that M had had her baby taken away from her by social services (or whoever does that) and M was living with some other guy now.
I never thought M was a great mom, but I didn't know for sure, and now I guess the "powers that be" think so also. And I am just guessing that either Jr's dad isn't the best or that he didn't want to take the kid. I don't know.
I guess M was too embarrest to call and say that she had lost her son. I don't know how to get in touch with her right now so I don't know.
Should someone in the family try to get Jr. I don't know. M's life had always had drama in it, but then I think her parents had some to do with that. I honestly believe that M's parents should not try to raise Jr. As far as me or Grandma or Grandpa? I just don't know. I hate to think that he will be in foster homes for who knows how long. Maybe whatever was going on M can fix it and get him back. If she wants him.

Eek! That's a mess! Honestly though, just from what little you described of her actions says she'll be a long time fixing what needs to be fixed in order to get her kid back. And whatever her parents did, she's an adult now so that's no longer an acceptable excuse. I ya can't take responsibility for your own actions then how on earth can you raise a child successsfully? JMHO! I dunno. Just throwing thoughts out there. :-)

When Social Services steps in it can get pretty ugly. I would imagine that M feels lost, but without a clue as to what to do. Chances are the agency will step in, maybe they will go through M to find a suitable parents. What a crazy responsibility. I hope the baby is rescued and settled soon. Race
