This may be long but please hang in here with me.. I need to rant..
Monday night at midnight.. A woman here in Utah reported her 4 year old boy missing. He had only been here in Utah for 10 days from Virginia as he was living with his father and just visiting his mother and her new husband.. To make a long story short, after many many hours of the police and many others searching for the boy and all the sex offenders in the area being approached, they called off the search near the appartments and found the poor little boys remains burried 30 miles away.. The mother and step father have now been arrested with the step father admitting to murder. I dont know the full story as they have not said yet.. I would imagine that some how it will have to do with drugs, as it usually does here, somehow some way.. soooooooooooo here is a big concern for me..
My finace has many grand kids and one of his grandkids has children.. three of them.. the youngest having major mental and physical problems including what is called *angel man* syndrome.. I have been told by many that his mother dropped him more then once when he was about three months old as she was so high on drugs.
A grandmother has been taking care of these children for 31/2 months because neither the father or the mother, recently divorced, wants the responsibilty of these three beautiful children.. I would take them but I am not able.. The mother of said children takes all the food stamp money and ss payments for the young child and buys drugs for her and her boyfriend. Her mother has finally came and picked up the kids and is making *Jessica* take care of them now..
Now my concern is that Jessica does not want this responsibility nor does her drug dealing boyfriend, or Als grandson that is the father. I am so afraid that she is going to take it out on these children and seeings as how they both do drugs infront of these kids and have scoundrels hanging around them all the time, that something of this nature could happen to one of these lovely children..
What is your opinion of what I might be able to do? I am just a *step grandmother* but I am really very concerned for the welfare of these beautiful children. Maybe I watch to much tv but I really believe that a travisty could really happen to one of these children. I want to step up to the plate before one of *my grandchildren* becomes a statistic..
Thanks for reading through... you guys rock....

I am so sorry hon. Honestly, if it were me, I would be calling protective services...anonomously, and reporting this case. Yes, it may be initially hard for the kids to be taken from the "parents" but it would be in their best interest. It must suck to have to worry about something this horrible hon, and I am so sorry you have to. Prayers for all of you, and hoping those kids will get a decent home to go to...xx

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
