Grandparent Visitation Rights Missouri

My grandson had been left in my care for over a year before his father decided to take him...he had told my grandson that he would stay with dad and his new girlfriend on school days and back with grandma on non school days..Never happened. My grandson has not been allowed to come back for some time now. I can see him when I do not announce my visit and then it is very limited. I have a hard time just going to see my grandson because it breaks my heart to stand there and hear him cry and beg me to please take him back home with me. I will sit with his father who is also my son and make arrangements to pick my grandson up for a weekend visit .At that time he says no problem ,when it is time for the visit I will either get a message that the child can not go or there just anyone home when I get there to pick him up. My question is can I get regular visits with my grandson

I was told I would eed an attorney I can not afford to do that or I would have while my grandson was in my care

I called last year not really sure what office I called but was told legal aid will not do child cases

I tried and it was so confusing did not know who I was to ask for...It gave me pages of names

no I have not tried that..how woud I do so

Also would my son be notified any time soon I would not want to lose what little time I get with my grandson

That would be best but sadly it does not work like that..My son and the childs mother seperated almost 3 years ago I also have a granddaughter that the mothe does not allow her to have contact with this side of the family and worse then that the children do not see one another..In the past 3 year

t in the past 3 years the children may have spent a total of * hours together

I know my son has talked to her about it but she will not

I did back in the first year when she left town and took her daughter and left her son with me. He would ask mommy over video chats the few that she answered he wanted mommy and sissy to come see him she said they would but never did Idid ask about counseling she flat out refused said the state did not need to know anything .Tried to talk her into at least getting counseling for her daughter.That ended any contact .My grandson is now going to counseling but my son told a lot of half truths so my grandson is not getting the right kind of help

that the child had became violent and was acting out. He did say the mother is not involved in his life but did not give the entire story...I did leave message for the counselor to contact me so that I could enlighten her so that my grandson could get the help he so badly needs

he goes to prefurred family health in trenton

her

this is the 2nd counselor he has had her name is Dianna and if you can give me a moment i have her last name written down

Dianna Herzinger

he just turned * in augest

there are none...I know that my son has hired an attorney to try to get custody of both children but so far has not really getting anywhere

that i do not know all i do know is that his current girlfriend had told him that she is who she used and she was fast and good...and the girlfriend and attorney are now friends on facebook. and i do think that the attorneys office is in kirksville

i

no i do not I know that both my son and the childrens mother have been to milan to see the GAL

She is right across from the courthouse think Kristen or Kristeen

i could map that and get a name

sure ill get back to you in just a few minutes

Kristen Williams

I do not know if I would want to. I had taken my son and grandson to her office for their visit and my grandson came out and told me that he had told her about mommy making him fight her boyfriends son. I knew this was going on the mothers views are a bit odd . But this child is about * and a big kid. My son said that he was talking to Kristen about something else and the child just chimed in with this. No reason for him to do so .I thought well this could be good for his case the child was not prompted in any way. I will say my grandson does this a lot. We would be talking about our day he and I did this evey night before bed..and he would be telling me for example what he did at school and then stop and say something like...Grandma do you remember when mommy made me stay at naunies and you and grandpa came to see me and sissy do you remember all the boo boos I had...Grandma I did not fall down mommy made us tell you that. Mommy and uncle was being mean to me and i cried for you and yelled for you to please come pick me up...you did not come for a long time. They locked me in the closet and hit me and pinched me and it hurt and I cried. Grandma i just want to stay here with you ok And then in the next breath he would continue with what happened in school that day. This baby has had a pretty bad life for being so young

i side tracked there i am sorry ...I did have a point for that

that he had done that in Kristen Williams office and when his mother had went in for her appointment it was if Ms Williams had forgotten because my son was here and had recieved a message from the attorney to contact williams office so he did and Ms Williams was so nasty to him said that she had talked with the childrens mother and everything he had told her was all lies nothing he had said was true in any form. Now I do not know what the mother had said but i do know that everything my son had said was true just because he had videoed and saved all conversations between himself and the kids mother just for this reason.Ms Williams did not and as far as i know still has not taken the time to watch any of them but i fast to make snap judgements without facts. So not real sure that she is someone i would want to talk with

I have and I did so back when it was going on. My son called a year or so later on a situation that was headed out of control and had mentioned my calls and was told they had decided not to do anything concerning my calls and I called a lot. They said I sounded like I was just trying to cause trouble. He asked what they had done about his calls and he was told that they called and set up a time to go meet with the mother and they saw nothing wrong ...Of coarse not you called and made an appointment..

I was on a crusade for awhile I messaged the child advocate about the abuse and child rights I went as far as contacting the mayors office I told anyone and everyone that would reply I told the situation both children were in . The school here in Humphreys had also called in on my granddaughter not enrolled in school and the stories that the mother had told them.I do know the mayors office looked into it they could not tell me what they had found out but did tell me that i needed to contact an attorney that i had a very good case and another agency had said i need an attorney that i would get my grandchildren .But as I said I can not afford an attorney I really tried to figure a way to do so

I did look but i get confused and lost on the bigger sights

this year he is in Newtown Harris for now ,,,he tells me that they are moving and wants grandma to move with him...

need to look that up too be right back

Madison Kaylee

yes and her * children

i dont think its the kids he has the most problems with

he has nightmares so he mainly slept in my bed it made him feel safe and i am good with that. They said they have a rule no kids in their bed.My grandson had nightmares went in and woke them and was told he was not a baby g back to bed. at that time he had no bed he slept on the couch. A bit later her daughter just walked in climbed in bed with them and that was ok .Madison would post on facebook after my son had left for work it would be her and her * kids in the no kids allowed bed both kids in he

in bed with her and you could see the door shut my grandson was always shut out. She would post family fun day when she did not send her kids to school and she would take them out for a fun day..My grandson not included . He of coarse gets upset and wants to go back home to grandmas to be told that is not his home and no he is not going to grandmas. When he gets sick i take him medicine or take him to the doctor and i will hold him and rock him it makes him feel better. I am told he is not a baby to stop treating him this way and as soon as i go home he gets yelled at for having grandma hold him he gets made fun of grandmas baby you little baby...He is still a baby he is only *. The nightmares very...I dont know if you know of rainbow friends and huggy wuggy..And he does not always remember but will be crying

but some are of past abuse that he does not really remember and i do not remind him of but i do know of. and times he will just say i just want to live with you please i will be good..he is a good boy concidering all that has happened... If the nightmares come before i go to lay down with him he will come running and crying and climbs on my lap and rocks will not talk.Iask if he had a bad dream and he will just hold on tighter. If i am already in bed he will get as close as he can and holds on tight....When I found out what this rainbow friends and huggy wuggy was i put a stop to it his mother on the other hand went and bought all these stuffed dolls of these things and sent them back here with them...They did not come into this house. Afterwords depending on what nightmare there are times he will sit in the recliner and be sad all day and not want to talk but just be held and for no reason can i leave his sight.There are nightmares that leave him mean and i think those are the crazy abuse nightmares because he will get hateful and remind me that he cried for me and would yell as loud as he could for me to come pick him up but i just left him there.

I have but in the past all that did was make his situation worse so i stopped

I call the hotline then i got a call from the cps worker and i would explain in detail what i saw or what my grandson told me and at that time that boy would not did not ever le even if he knew what he had done or said was wrong he did not lie to me ever, I did tell her that the child was terrified that he had called video chat and was hiding somewhere very dark and was crying but being careful not to be heard ..he was * at the time living with dad and his girlfriend at the time.Mom had been gone a few months at this time and again he had been left with me until i blew up on this girlfriend for laughing about my grandki

grandsons situation and how he would go hide anytime someone said anything about him talking to or going to see his mother.Isee no humor in any of it. It was 2 days after that that my son came and took him kicking and screaming out of my arms he left bloody scratches down my neck he was holding on so tight he did not want to go. When Igot the hiding crying video chat he said that the girlfriend was mean to him locked him in rooms all day by himself that she did not feed him or let him have anything to drink would tell him he would never see or talk to his grandma anymore that he did not have a grandma that she said his name was not Joshua it was JJ and he was confused she had taken him and cut all his hair and he did not like it. Iasked him if he had told daddy he said he did and she said he was lying...Again at this time that boy did not would not lie. He was trying to tell me more but was crying so hard i could not understand .Then he got real quite and i heard something fall i think and the phone disconnected. so i called the hotline and was told they would do a well check.The next day is when w

is when the cps worker called i told her everything he had said and how he was hiding and i was concerned i did tell her that she needed to get my grandson alone without the girlfriend and he would tell her everything that is happening but would say nothing as long as he was afraid. she called me back she did not talk to my grandson just the girlfriend and somehow made it out that i was just trying to make problems for them to leave them alone

this did not stop me from calling everytime my grandson told me about abuse i called ,I called when he said she locked him in a cage in the kitchen and left the house and did not come let him out until right before daddy came in the house i called when he said she would not let him eat but would tell daddy that she had fed him early so he did not get to eat with daddy anymore and he had lost a lot of weight and his eyes had sunk in and was pail .He would get to talk to his mom when daddy was home and from him and the mother he said he asked mommy to come get him but wanted her to take him back home with his grandma.Mom saw what he looked like she would call me and say the same things he had said but because he wanted to come bacck to grandma she refused to go get him.I had hotlined everything and found out later that the reason i no longer had any kind of contact with my grandson was because the cps worker was telling that i was the hotline caller

that girlfriend is no longer around

again i went on a crusade but its hard to get anyone to do anything when the cps worker reported i was just trying to create problems

this was 3 years ago these are some of his nightmares that still haunt him

i tried

am i not speaking to a person

what answer do i need to repeat
