Grandparents rights for custody and visitation

Dont wait until department of children's services take custody of your grandchildren to find out u have no rights to custody and/ or visitation.

Department of children services can take your grandchildren ! Grandparents have no rights in the state of Tennessee . My grandchildren were taken and I filed for custody but was denied because the children was my sons children . They did not give a relative replacement a chance. The parents of the mother are very sick and could not take the children. My sister remodeled her house just for my grandchildren and she was denied custody. The department made up all sorts of things as to why neither of us could have custody. The d c s didn't even give my petition a chance. I had other friends and family that could have helped but d c s had already decided to adopt them out. D c s refused to help the parents with a plan for reunification of the family. I will never stop fighting for my family . I will persevere even if it means till they are 18. Foster families are not required to keep the children after the age of 18. Look around on the streets and in the homeless shelters and talk to the young people and you won't believe your own ears. I have helped some of these young people in Cleveland, tn. I can put you in touch with them. Do you wonder why our youth is so broke and hurt? Do you wonder why the crime rate is increasing.
