I need to know more about grandparents rights- i looked under for state of indiana nothing much there. my daughter gets mad at us and she then will not let us see our 3 grandkids. iam tired of this charade and want to legally do something to insure we are a part of the grandchildrens life. They miss us and we certainly miss them. they sneak and contact us on instant message when their mom is at work. She neglects them, such as medical care, house has roaches all in it, she gets upset with me because i say something about her not taking them to dr and dentist - 1boy has teeth with numerous cavities down to gum line- another son of hers was sent home a letter from school saying he needed to be further tested for his hearing she has never got him looked at, her daughter had been molested was suppose to get her counceling - never got her help and it goes on and on - they sleep in roaches- water flows through by their beds as they sleep in a basement, animal feces around where they sleep. its awful please can you help me? thanks in advance,--name removed--walters
