We have been babysitting my little cousins lately who are involved
in a custody battle. Their mom was negligent and deserved to have
them taken away. The twin's dad has them now and is pressing for
custody and just might get it. Their half sister's grandma
complained that Misty could get to the kids easily. They are making
Brian switch babysitters and this woman lives in a filthy house, is
an hour away from their house, is absolutely insane and unstable and
is in her late sixties. She is in no way an acceptable babysitter
for twin 6 year old boys. It turns out the grandma told Misty where
the twins were and when to come over. She wanted the twins to
herself when they were babies but we were always watching them and
has held a grudge ever since. She feels if she can't have them, we
shouldn't either. How should we go about taking care of this? We
know those kids are happy here and the situation should not be
turned around. They have finally found a stable enviroment after
years of turmoil. We know this does not need to happen but how do
we stop it without messing up Brian's chances of keeping the kids?
If anything goes wrong, the kids go to a foster home with complete
strangers. They need to be with someone who loves them, foster care
would ruin their lives more than they have already been messed up.
