Grandchildren in care

My 3 young grandsons have been taken into care, I have offered to take them but failed the assessment due to them being 150 miles from me and a load of nonsense. Social services are now threatening to have the children adopted. I feel so useless because I can't do anything and am really worried about my daughters mental health if the children are taken away permanently as she has a history of self harm. I haven't slept in weeks and don't know where to start.

I suspect the ‘load of nonsense’ is actually some very serious concerns and that is why the OP has not returned to clarify the issue. Dismissing SS’s reasons for not placing children with their grandmother as ‘nonsense’ underlines the validity of those reasons.
