I’ll be praying! 🙏🏻

This is why we need more multigenerational households.

Very sad. I’m glad someone is stepping in. I’ve seen too many times where the state didn’t when they should’ve. There were even family members willing to raise the kids as their own without any financial help from the state.

My grandparents raised me. My mom had me young. She was more interested in men and drugs than raising me. When I was 9 or 10, my biological dad wanted custody of me. I’d barely seen him. My grandparents lawyer told him he’d have to pay child support that he hadn’t for about 8 or 9 years. Or he could sign over his rights.

Thanks, Tops.

My thoughts are with them all. Are they in a financial position to help her grandson Beyond what the foster care system will provide? I hope so because he probably needs counseling and I can say with first-hand knowledge, the counselors they provide are not equipped to deal with complex situations, at least in this state.

She made a vow to her husband too. It sounds like this kid "needs" far more help than she will ever be able to give him. At 10 years of age the horrible years are just starting for a kid with issues. Her husband obviously knows it would not work out for the 3 of them together.

Who is “him” and why must she choose between him and the boy?

It’s amazing on how many children are being raised by their grandparents these days.

How sad, TQ! Praying for the entire family!

Wow, poor Rose. That’s a tough spot to be in. I know a couple who spent their retirement years raising 4 grandchildren for the same reason. It was very hard on them, but they had each other to lean on.

Oh my goodness gracious! That’s so difficult! I will definitely be praying for Rose and family. 💔

What a horrible situation! I'll pray for them all.
