I love and miss her very much. It is not my choice or hers. The law needs to be changed. Soon. It is in the best interest of both parties. She also needs her father in her life.

]]> Sat, 26 Jul 2014 01:17:36 UTC 17660735 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/15974124?utm_medium=rss Our Grandson was a huge part of our lives up through the age of 7 when his mother decided that we could no longer see him. She didn't want him to know that his Daddy (whom she receives child support) was our son (whom she kept away from Grandson until 3) and he was starting to ask questions about his uncles and if his actual daddy was his uncle. So instead of explaining the situation to him, she ripped him out of our lives and broke our hearts.

]]> Tue, 20 Mar 2012 04:50:44 UTC 12405760 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/12298927?utm_medium=rss It is a disgrace and a sin that there are no laws in many states to give grandparents the right to visitation with their grandchildren. It is a crime against the grandchildren. The states are "ALLOWING" the parents to punish the children for the anger they feel towards their own parents. My soul bleeds.

My grandpa was my hero, and raised me from birth till age eight. No one in power takes into account how damaging that sort of thing is to us children.

All they want is to be involved with thier grandchildren. Unless there is something that will harm them in any way I think that they should see them!

Young children after loosing a parent need that closeness with their grandparents. They have already lost their mother so why punish them more and take away their grandparents??

But, good news son has left the woman and we now have him and our grandaughter in our life, and she is a blessing, from the universe. Thank you, from our hearts.

If the grandparents were part of the childs life at birth they should allow to be part of there lives untill there passing if able too. Some parents hold the children over there heads to get what they want and when it stops they take them away. We all now that when someone is taken out of our lives its like a passing and it hurt all concerned especially to the children. Its unfair to all.

It is the worst and most selfish thing to use a child as leverage, it hurts the Children every bit as much as the Grandparents. For a parent to do this to their own child for their own selfish reasons is sickening!!! Other countries and states have laws that prevent this sort of behavior, why don't we???

]]> Mon, 28 Jun 2010 09:44:56 UTC 8029371 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/7924876?utm_medium=rss My Husband and I provided and cared for our granddaughter since the day she was born, then at 6 months our daughter left with her. There is no father involved. Her lifestyle puts the baby at risk. She will not let us see her. We have filed for guardianship and got temperary visitation but that could all end after the court date.

As a result of a bitter divorce and false accusations, these 2 boys continue to be the victims. It's the beginning of the 3rd summer that I have not seen nor heard from them. I try to find some comfort knowing the strength of our love and look forward to the day I can see/hug them again.

Right at this time I have no clue where my granddaughter is because they have removed her out of her home so the step father could move back in.

It is a crying shame and Dale and Dianne are the only link to their Mom that they have and that has been taken away by their "idiot" of a father. All that man cares about is himself. I hope people rally behind this petition and a new law will be made. I see how Dianne suffers with this and I feel suffering the loss of a child, now grandchildren.

As a teacher I have many grandparents who take an active role in their grandchild's life in many aspects. Parents are unable to meet some of the children's expectations growing up due to jobs and money situations. Many grandparents provide that stable nurturing that has been lost in today's busy society. It is important that their grandchild know who their families are.

This little boy deserves to grow up knowing who he is. He deserves to know who his mother was, how much she loved him, who his grandparents are, and his mother's closest living relative, her own brother and sister. He deserves to continue the relationship with his family that took care of him while his mother was dieing and continued to take care of him while his father was grieving. There's no such thing as too much love.

It's the Circle of Life. My daughter died at age 26 in 2006 but her wishes should be respected.
