Re: Grandparents rights
No, KY is not required to obtain consent of grandparents in such cases. You are advised to contact the KY agency responsible for child protective services to determine what your rights are. If the children have been removed from your daughter, the state may be receptive to allowing you to visit or be included in the life of the children, depending on the issues with your daughter. Such decisions are supposed to be based on the best interests of the child. Contact KY, express your interest, and perhaps you can help your grandchildren.
