Good luck! I'm not sure how they work by you, but here in New York we have "CPS", i.e. "Child Protective Services." They can and will, legally, repsond to any phoned in complaint - even if it's anoymomous. They will come to your house and ask to come in to look around. If you refuse, they call the cops and then force their way in. Note also - if they find nothing wrong - the occupants of the house still get put on a State-register "watch list" for 10 years. I'm on it. Why? One day I was out in the field running my tractor. Somebody phoned in a report that I had an unattended baby in the house while I was outside (probably my ex-wife). So, the investigators came. The "baby" was out with his mom, i.e., not home. Regardless they came in, checked the baby's room, took paint samples to check for lead paint, etc. They finally decided the report was officially "unfounded." That means it was bogus. And me? I am now on the State watch-list anyway. My wife isn't, I guess because she was not home at the time.

My first wife worked for CPS for many years. She was a tolerable "wack-job" when she started there, and a complete power-mad "mental-case" within a few years. That basically from getting a little power over people and it went to what was left of her head. She finally married a cop, who later lost his job after some sort of mental-breakdown. Sounds like they're made for each other.

Now? My ex-wife, ex-CPS worker who now lives on mental disability just did this. She is taking our 27 year-old daughter to court, trying to get court-ordered grandparnetal "custody and visitation" rights. That because my daughter cut off all visits from her mom to her own daughter (my grand-daughter). Note my ex-wife self-medicates, drinks (a lot),and also takes a brew of legally prescribed brain-fixing drugs. She also spent a year as an in-patient in a mental hospital. She has also claimed to have killed her own mother who had been living in a nursing home (with rat poison). I told the family court judge about that claim, and he dismissed it as "not rellevant" since the alledged event took place over 20 years ago. My argument was/is - it makes little difference if she really did it, or it's all in her mind. Either way, she's a bit scary.

So now my daughter has to borrow money to pay a lawyer, to defend her rights as a parent - to protect her own daughter - from her wacked-out ex-CPS worker mom.

I laughed the whole thing off a first. But after doing some research, I'm finding that many family courts are actually awarding such rights to angry grandparents.
