I am sending a similar letter to everyone on your committee after my family s ordeal with forced grandparent visitation. Setting aside abuse, there is no reason for the government to tell parents whom their children can or cannot visit with. I have talked to many people, including parents and grandparents. It would appear to me that people get two issues confused.
First issue is custody.
Visitation by grandma isn t going to help an abused child. My reply is , drop the visitation lawsuit and file the custody lawsuit. To me, it s that simple. The other issue is visitation. The government and God charge the parents with raising their children.
