[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.... thank you everyone for your quick responses... I called the CPS hotline and am now waiting for 2 case workers to arrive at my home, we were given a case number and taken much more seriously by them then by the FC PD ....I do have photos,and granddaughter reported this to school and to her sub school yesterday and they said they would contact CPS , however our call is the 1st to CPS... 
I am thankful for your help and will update asap. Blessings to all of you[/quote]

This is very good news that you are waiting for the arrival of the CPS workers.   Unfortunately, as you or a PP indicated, as a grandparent you don't have any rights here.  The police are correct that if the mother demands the child be returned to the home then the child must be returned unless there is a finding against the parent by CPS or the PD.  Our legal system is seriously f'd up where the rights of a parent trump the rights of a child to be safe.

Also please call the Boys Town hotline as suggested above.  It is good for children that we have CPS but you need to realize that sometimes CPS is curtailed by organizational requirements and laws into what they can do and say.  Staff at CPS will act within the parameters of their organization's rules and staff can only give you advice that meets their protocols.  The people at Boys Town have only the interest of your granddaughter's safety at heart.  They will be able to give you advice as to your role as a grandparent and what you can do to help your granddaughter be safe.

Please keep advocating for your granddaughter.  It sounds like you're the only person she has right now.  Good luck.[/quote]
