I remember your post about that horrible situation. I am so grateful he is sitting in jail where he can't harm any more little ones. I hope he's there for a good, long while!

The babies need all the help they can get. I hope your son is strong; he needs to be.

There are no words for the grandparents; well there are, but this is an open forum. I'm so sorry........

Keep us posted; keep yourself and the babies safe.

How horrible! You must be feeling absolutely devastated and indescribably :

His mother and father KNEW ABOUT IT? Not only could they have prevented what happened to your granddaughter--they knew what he did to their own daughter! How could they let another child endure what their daughter had to go through?

I'm so glad he's in jail and I'm guessing that he will not enjoy his time in prison. I'm sick to my stomach just thinking about what he did. I am so, so, so sorry. I hope you can all begin to heal now that he's been stopped but I know it will be a long way to go.

And that "the dad" is your son and "the mother" is his partner/former partner.

Does CPS think that mom and dad are culpable for the actions of mom's stepbrother?

culpable. They don't believe the parents of my grand daughter (my son and his wife) are culpable. Hope that helps clear it up.
