Granparents deserve rights in Kentucky!!!
Grandparents are raising grandchildren all over the place, yet they have no rights? Having NO rights is NOT OK!
Why is this important?
This is important because there are some children whose grandparents are their sole caretakers. It makes it really hard when children are left with grandparents to raise, and take care of emotionally/physically and financially, but the biological parent can just come and rip them away at any time. This is traumatic to the children, and it's hard on the grandparents as well. If we have the right to take these kids to the doctor, and administer medications, buy clothing and food and diapers and take them to school, etc etc, then we should be able to have rights. It's really sad when you are the only "parent" a child knows, and then the biological parent comes and takes the child from you, and is completely unfit, and the child's life and health is endangered, and we are told "I'm sorry, grandparent's have no rights in Kentucky" and we can't do anything to help them! Grandparents need and deserve rights in Kentucky!!!
