My grandson had low grade temp friday, now is in hospital with bloody stools?

Last week end my grandson was with non custodial male. He was acting odd, scared, and had bruises on his leg and his shoulder was really touchy. If I barely ran my hand over his shoulder bone, he'd grimace. He was taken to the Ped. and they said it was nothing. Now he is in the hospital with bloody stools. Some months ago he came home with 8 places on him. From black eye to bruises on ares and legs. The hospital acted as if it were abuse, yet cps said it wasn't conclusive enough for them.

I think this came from some sort of injury inflicted by this male and or the males father. My daughter is being told she can't prove he did any thing to my grandson. But the child cries not to go and comes home moody, angry, and nervous each time.

What can be done to make cps see this sorry dead beat is beating the child and getting away with it. Why don't they care? Why do they keep insisted she send her son back for more beatings?

We are both upset at his treatment by this org-er but we seem to be the only ones who care/want something done to protect the child.

Any one know how to reach the cold hearts of cps or the cops before my daughters son, my grandson is killed?

Every time we ask for help we get sent in circles and are told we must wait until there are broken bones, or there is only a lifeless child to get help....what kind of crack cocaine are these so called protectors of children on anyway???

    I'm sorry this is happening to you. CPS doesn't actually determine child custody. That is determined by family court. Your daughter needs to go to family court if she wants to change custody.

    Regarding CPS not believing the child is being abused...social workers are not doctors. If a child has marks or injuries they will insist the child be seen by a doctor (In california we have the child examined by a child abuse expert). If the doctor, who is the medical professional, says the child's injuries are the result of non-accidental trauma (ie abuse) then the social worker can file in court to remove the child and place in foster care. If the doctor says the injuries could be consistent with accidental trauma then the social worker has no case...the social worker is not a doctor, he or she has to go with the doctor's rulings.

    Next time the child has injuries take the child to the ER and ask that he be seen by a child abuse expert, they will then make a referral to CPS if they feel the injuries are the result of abuse.
