Hi everyone

So…

Some years ago my eldest fell off the rails badly, went into the sex industry, was involved in drugs and criminals she’s had two attempts on her life in the past, much much longer story consequently we took our granddaughter into our care with our daughters consent all underpinned by an SGO

Since this time our daughter has worked hard move away from certain people and has done so; also to develop a relationship with her daughter and they see each other regularly and it’s a positive relationship.

Recently our daughter met a guy; she’s stopped her work and sees him as a saviour… talking of moving in and so on.. he’s changed his name recently he’s nowhere on social media and we highly suspect he’s involved in dealing of course we could be wrong but doubt it and we all see the same red flags.

Our GD is now 11, I don’t see how we can continue to let her go to her Mums if what we think proves to be right

Any advice or guidance appreciated

Thanks

I remember your struggles earlier, how you wanted to give your small gd security and also keep your daughter onboard if possible.
Your gd is getting to the age where she may begin to question things like why she can’t be with her mother, adolescence is an awkward time but you will know this because you have been through your daughters adolescence.
I was a SW in child protection for many years and would be inclined to contact social services in the first instance for their advice/support.
Good wishes to you, your wife and granddaughter and your daughter too and hope you all get through this latest problem, well done.
