I need some help/advice and I havent a clue where to go or what to do!!
My son and his gf have just had a baby boy. He was born a month early at 5.5lbs, in my opinion, down to the mother's conduct whilst pregnant. A brief history:
My son's gf had a daughter removed from her care, last year, due to neglect. I cannot find out the ins and outs of this. The child now lives with her dad and my son's gf has supervised visitation. She also had an abortion last year. It has been reported to me that she has drank alcohol and smoked all through her pregnancy. I live 200 miles from them, so I only hear this from my family and friends. The child is one week old and is in the Special Care Baby Unit, but may be allowed out in the next few days. I have just found out that my son and his gf have been out drinking all weekend and not seen much of their boy and my concern is once they get him home, he will not be cared for properly, give her past history. As the paternal grandmother, do I have any rights to find out if social services are involved or get any help, as i feel helpless at the moment! I feel my son is lying to me to keep me happy, which I certainly as not. What should I do??
