I am currently getting a Special Guardian Order for my 4 month old grandson. Social services have said my daughter can only see her son once a week when he's with me (which is less than she sees him now in supervised contact)
This has hugely upset my daughter as she wants much more regular access.
He was taken from her at birth as she is an addict and used throughout her pregnancy (she did not know she was pregnant until 7 months gone) she has since kicked the drugs and has been clean since he was born, however is obviously in no position to care for him at the moment.
What I'm asking is how strict are social services with her contact? All contact she has will be supervised and within reason - I was imagining a few days a week so was shocked when I was told it is to be so limited. I'm am completely willing to do what is best for my grandson, and if that means no contact with my daughter if she takes a turn for the worst then so be it. however I feel just 1 day a week is not sufficient, he needs to bond with his mum as well as me.
