      <description><![CDATA[Mrs. Susanne Hayes, Ramseur, NC, United States of America<p>Paternal grandparents are particularly excluded from the lives of their grandchildren as more young girls deliberately impregnate themselves with the intent to eradicate the father completely from the picture if he doesn&#039;t want to marry them. These aren&#039;t deadbeat dads. These are boys duped &amp; forced into fatherhood all for the sake of a little girl&#039;s whim to have a living breathing baby doll.  The child is cheated not only of a father but of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and future siblings. We need laws to protect these poor innocent children from the selfishness of their mothers. These children grow up with a sense of abandonment that is never alleviated believing their father &amp; his family wanted nothing to do with them.  The current laws do nothing to provide any recourse for relatives desperately wishing to be included in the lives of their own flesh &amp; blood. Society finds it acceptable for a child to grow up without a father &amp; his relatives but it is never acceptable to the child. We have got to open our eyes to this ever growing problem &amp; the far reaching consequences to a society raising fatherless children. Whatever happened to &quot;in the best interests&quot; of the child?</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mrs Jerry And Ava Cloud, Pittsview, Alabama, United States of America<p>I have a daughter in law who left 2 years ago to visit her family in Hamtonville NC when our grandaughter was  3 weeks old and has never come back. I understand there may be problems between the parents but we as grandparents want the right to visit and have her visit us on some holidays and summers. If the daughter in law wants the dad to not be around then we can have that happen. we love our granddaughter and want to be an acti9ve part of her life</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Anonymous, Palm Springs, Ca., United States of America<p>My daughter never married the father of my grandson. The father lives in England and has never been involved in my grandsons life. I have been there from the day my daughter was pregnant to the day he was born and then some. She moved from Calif to North Carolina and now lives with a man but they are not married. I have been refused visitation without an explanation. I share a very close relationship with my grandson and have in fact requested many times if I could pay to fly him to CA. for a visit. Always denied. I also requested if I could come and visited him on NC. I get no response. I have asked for explanations over and over again and it falls on deaf ears. I would like to know what  I can do to petition the NC courts for some visitation each year. I discovered she has been untruthful to others about her past. I believe she fears if I meet her boyfriend and her new family the truth may come out. It is the farthest thing from my mind. I do not want to lose contact with my grandson. I write him weekly and he writes back. I have every letter with her words expressing how much he misses and wants to see me. I can&#039;t tell him it is his mother who is standing between us.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mrs Angela Swanson, Lenoir, NC, United States of America<p>Long story short, my son&#039;s girlfriend got pregnant and they got married. Her sister couldn&#039;t have children and I found out that her mother had been trying to get her to have a baby for her sister. The night the baby was born, her sister told me that she told my son&#039;s wife she would give her $6000 for a baby. She left my son and they threatened him with anything that can be thought of. He gave in and signed papers giving custody to the sister and brother-in-law. We haven&#039;t seen the child in 2 yrs</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mrs. Teresa Lancaster, Mooresboro, NC, United States of America<p>It has been 2 years since we have seen our granddaughters.  Filed to intervene and the court allowed us to intervene.  Girls spent 6 mos out of the year with us up until their Mother married and stopped visitation.  We went to court and asked for joint custody and/or visitation and were denied.  This was a new Judge in the courts in this county and we understand she has  been just as crude with other cases following ours.  Our hearts are broken and all we are told is there is nothing we can do.</p>]]></description>

We found out who the father is and let them keep him overnight whenever they wanted him.  Now we very seldom get to see him.  They live in S.C. and we live in N.C.  He is also on drugs but his family refuse to acknowledge it.  what can we do to get some type of visitation??? Please help!!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Anonymous, Elon, NC, United States of America<p>I do not like my daughter&#039;s &quot;boyfriend.&quot;  He dropped out of school, refuses to work and is part of gang.  She was in college when she became pregnant and has always worked through high school and been independent. Now that she is with him, he is &quot;bringing her down&quot; and all he talks about is how they can &quot;live off the goverment.&quot;  Since I do not like him, he has talked her into denying me visitation. I am not the only family member who feels this way towards him.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Ms Barbara Mezo, Durham, NC, United States of America<p>My son and his wife both lived with me after they were married in Egypt. I had signed her immigrant papers for her support. She gave birth to my grandson while they were residing with me and I provided support to them all. After they moved to their own place, she does not want me having any contact with my grandson. She is also birthing another child today and her mother came from Egypt to be with my grandchildren instead of me. I live only 1 mile away from them. I want to see my grandchildren.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mrs Ruby Stine, Oxford, NC, United States of America<p>My daughter died in a car accident in April and her children had to go live with their father.  He has been turned over to social services for child abuse/neglect and now he does not let the children see me.  I went to 3 attorneys only to be told that NC has no grandparents rights and there was nothing that I could do but bide time.  This is pathetic especially being the 10 year old is begging to live with me and now he won&#039;t even let her visit me.  I just don&#039;t understand the law.  Thanks.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Ms. Annitta Crook, Lexington, North Carolina, United States of America<p>I have always had a close relationship with my 10 yr. old grandaughter . She was placed in my home by dss.  My son came and got her since then I have been allowed no contact. My son is on drugs and no one wants to listen to what is in the best interest of the child. So many grandparents are in the same boat the grandchildren are used as pons to punish the grandparents. There should be laws affording decent people to see their grandchildren.</p>]]></description>
