I think my son is abusing my grandchild. What can I do?

I'm not certain but some of the signs are there. My son does not speak to me so I cannot speak to him about my concern.

    My parents abused me and my grandparents did know. My grandparents did nothing when they could of. DO SOMETHING! I hate my entire family and have nothing to do with ANY of them (including distant relatives like grandparents).

    Either contact the social services, or contact his school and arrange a visit. There will be someone there that you can talk to and give you good confidential advice.

    This is a very difficult time for you but be assured there are people who will help, if you are not satisfied then contact the Police, sometimes they can be really helpful and know exactly what to do.

    I hope all goes well for all of you, don't let anyone put you off follow it through for the sake of your Grandchild who is unable to fight for himself.

    there replaced into a matching prepare to this on Dr. Phil at present. The MIL appeared a littler wackier, and the DIL appeared a littler saner. this is often not basic to tell what's quite happening, because of fact I on no account have faith the guy telling the story. You seem glossing over some baby abuse. in case you prefer to regain a relationship along with your son, i might recommend which you save your critiques to your self. I reference which you're saying: I gave my son my opinion while requested. That replaced right into a catch, sweetie. they do in comparison to your critiques, I promise. in the Dr. Phil prepare, he pronounced that the guy and his mom communicate approximately each little thing yet kinfolk. That way the guy and his mom might desire to party without it threatening his marriage. Your son has chosen his spouse and their toddlers. this is admirable. in case you decide on a relationship with him, end threatening it. i think of you're being dramatic approximately your son's protection. He does not prefer to speak to you, and you're pretending that she won't permit him. once you talked to him, did he have bruises or broken bones? See a therapist your self. Come to words with why you son prefers to have you ever out of his existence. i'm one hundred% specific there's a reason. in case you may turn that habit around, i'm specific they assist you to back in. EDIT: for sure this is an fairly longstanding, complicated project. the reality which you write back to me frivolously is an illustration which you're perchance much less of the priority than she exhibits. :) I nevertheless might say, avail your self of a therapist. it could make it easier to to experience extra effective approximately issues over which you have not any administration. i wish which you will see the Dr Phil episode. It got here to a favorable end. perhaps you will possibly be able to desire to ask for a matching relationship along with your son in writing. I quite have a tangled relationship with an impaired baby residing along with her dad, whom i'm very apprehensive approximately. In that regard I quite have very a lot of compassion to your concerns approximately your baby. i wish that issues come to a extra helpful place for all of you. btw, grandparents rights are almost non-existent in all 50 states, sorry.

    you need to make it clear to your son that you really need to talk to him. You need to find a way to grasp his attention. You need to spell it out to him that you are concerned and that if he doesn't explain himself, you will reffer to third party for help. Let him know that you CARE about him, that you LOVE him and you don't wont neither of them to get HURT. Explain to your son that this is important and that you're only there to help. If he refuses all of that listed above, you need to talk to his church minister, or someone who is very close to him. If that doesn't help either, you need to call abuse hot line.

    it depends on if by abuse you mean a spanking or if you mean beating the hell out of him if its a spanking i would ignore it if he is beating him i would tell him that if he didn't stop i was gonna have to call cps and take the child away because no kid should be abused but unless your son was abused he probably isn't abusing his kid

    I'm sure your community has a social services department and a Child protection service. IF you have a phone you can call them.

  • 1 decade ago

    Report him to child services (as far as i know you will be anonymous you can check into that), that way if something drastic ever did happen you will know you tried to prevent it, or if your concerns are true your grandson will get the protection that he needs.

    Wheres his mum?

    REPORT him, your grandson deserves protection.
