Madmother2010 here is a link about federal law on kinship relative care...
http://www.cwla.org/programs/kinship/faq.htm scroll down on the article until you come to How Do Federal Laws Impact etc....
You can petition the court. CPS is to follow federal law when it comes to relatives...best advice I can give u on this matter is to not approach doing this on your own. Find a lawyer who fights cps cases and says so and make sure he knows it an is not just lipping it to get a case.
Their are too many grandparents who think they can fight this on their own and end up in a tangled mess not knowing their rights and the laws.
How long ago was your daughter in their care? Is your name still on the Central Registry? Some states have a time line on how long your name is on it. This is another reason you need a lawyer. If your name is suppose to be off of it then he will have to get it expunged for you to proceed.
Never take their word for anything. They don't want to give up their monies and want you out of the picture.
**********************************
This is not legal advice;hopefully wisdom
To put it in simple terms…when the authorities ARE the perpetrators and the perpetrators ARE the authorities, there is no earthly justice or recourse, at the end of the day (unless the American people wake up).
Therefore, those who have achieved the highest levels of power seek to ‘enjoy’ the most grievous and extreme injustices. For many of those in the highest circles of power, the greatest statement of power is to perpetrate the greatest possible injustice…the savage, brutal traumatization and abuse of an innocent child.
