" Grandma’s fear is stunting you son’s growth. Grandma will not live forever nor will she be able to care for him much longer.

If he does not get an education he will not be able to function independently, find employment, have a normal life.


Explain this to her.

Then tell her you are going to call the police.

Wait 1 hour. Then CALL THE POLICE.

Grandma through misguided love is destroying his future.

My life is a giant blessing from GOD. And God used education as His miracle to all my other blessings. "

" It is a long shot but would it be worth going back to your son's grandmom to talk this through with her. That way she may eventually see the error of her ways and do the right thing. There are obviously unresolved issues for her which is probably why she is digging her heels. Sorry I could not have been more helpful "

" explain to her that since it is a goverment issued id, she IS violating fedral law and could face a fine or worse, if the cops are called. "

" his grandmom can't really do that it is like telling someone you can't do anything. you should talk to your mom and tell her she shouldn't take away his education or funding for him that is not fair for him that is like treating him like a child stand up and just tell her not to take that away from or you can go to the goverment and tell them what is going on I am disabled my self
