You mean that the parents are using the child's name to obtain credit cards or other legal documents?  \n\nYou can let the parents know that you are aware of their actions, and want them to stop before you take it to the authorities.  Maybe they will do the right thing.\n\nIf not, you can contact the involved parties to let them know of the situation. and stop any further transactions from being made.\n\nYou could also ontact the police, identify theft is a crime.  I would think that would be a last resort, however, considering the consequences.  Possibly a call to Child Services would get an investigation started into the matter.

You're doing the right thing by not sharing too much info. It shouldn't be with just your grandaughter's mother that you are doing this with but with anybody. You've learned something....just when you think you can trust someone you find out they're not this trustworthy person that you thought they were. NEVER tell someone something that they can use as ammo against you.

Unfortunately not. In most states, grandparents have no rights where grandchildren are concerned. The only time this changes is if the parents are incarcerated or there is evidence of abuse. In either case CPS, and attorney and court must be involved.

The grandchild when it becomes of age. Unless specified by an attorney somewhere that a Parent may. Ask an attorney just call and ask should be free advice!

You're obviously not new so you must have another reason for asking. But I'd say internet security is priority. Teach them about Nortons or whatever they have. Especially the anti-virus program. Download ccleaner for them. Download Adaware for them. Show them how they work. Teach them to never click on links from people or sites they don't know. My dad was a "newbie" two years ago and had his paypal account hacked. Tell them to neverrrr give out any info. That's a good start.

In Florida grandparents do not have any rights.  That is true, but usually DCF has to try to place children with family members, unless the parents are working a plan to get the kids back and are showing some progress, or if no family members can pass the background search.  I would advise your parents to call a family lawyer that deals with DCF in the Daytona area (call the Bar Association in that area) to see what information they can get. DCF is a bear to work with, good luck.

Do you intend to make them victims of horrible crimes?   Consider their safety first.   Review websites like  http://kids.getnetwise.org/\n\nThen discuss this with their parents. \n\nGood luck

their your parents they are supposed to be in your business, they do it because they care nothing else. but if your really want them to stop make everything that you have accessable, they will eventually trust if they find nothing bad.

No you cant when signing the release forms for your child to be kept there you are also taking responsiblility for other childrens actions upon yours.  also remember that whatever was stolen is probably easily replaceable or the child will forget about soon enough.

You should have separate accounts for you and your child(ren), protected by passwords.  That way, you can set controls for your kids and not allow them access to any important files such as work folders and such.

call the child services and report kiddnapp. grandma do have rights, but the child has no voice or choice. You must report this before he leves country. In Calfornia there is lots of help, especialy, free-legal aide. But if YOU DO NOT WANT TO CAUSE PROBLEMS, then you really do not want this child back. Their always help for children, step up and take action.

Go Tools, then internet options.  Work on the security tab and content tabs.  If you have Nortons, it has a seperate Parental control tab.

The answers submitted thus far are partially correct.  You and your boyfirend, as the child's parents, have the primary say over who the child spends time with.  However, grandparents' rights vary greatly from state to state.\n\nFor instance, in California where I practice, grandparents do indeed have visitation rights in theory.  A grandparent can petition the court for visitation.  The court will be guided by what is in the best interests of the child, i.e. how close the child is to the grand-parent, how detrimental it would be for the child to not see the grand-parent, etc.  \n\nIt is also within the court's authority to put equittable restrictions/conditions upon visitation.  Yes, the court can order a psychological evaluation to determine if the grandparent should be allowed visitation.\n\nTalk to a child custody attorney in your area to see what rights may be available to the child's grandmother.  In the meantime, I would say that it is probably well within your rights to deny access to your child unless and until a court orders otherwise.
