Legal Question in Family Law in California
My granddaughter who is13 got in trouble in school and was suspended for 2days. Her great aunt called my wife and told her they wanted to take her out of her school in bay point and if we would take her into our home and enroll her in school here in antioch. Of course we said yes because her brother and sister have been in our home since birth they are 11 & 12 years old.my concerns since her great grandmother has legal custody what are our rights? We also learned last night when they dropped her off she had a black eye and bruises on her body. Her mothers cousin the great aunts daughter last week Wednesday had beaten her all while her great grandmother is in the same room telling her not to leave any bruises. We don't no who to talk to or what we should do.can you help us?
