How can they find out since it is the weekend??

Re: Grandparent Custody

Tell you sister to call the police, and report that her daughter was abducted. Grandparents have visitation rights, but not custodial rights. Nevertheless, there is never a right to abduct a child from the custodial parent, even if there is a custody battle. Hire a lawyer immediately.
