*575LOUIS J. CECI, J.
(concurring). The sad result of this case is that loving grandparents have effectively become "nonpersons" as a consequence of the law involved in this case. Unfortunately, this result is required by the facts of this case and the language of secs. 48.92(1) and (2) and 767.245, Stats. The obvious intent of the legislature in enacting the "grandparents' rights" section of the statutes, sec. 767.245, is stifled when that section is read with sec. 48.92(1) and (2).
Perhaps the legislature will see the need to revise these sections of the statutes.
I am authorized to state that Justice Roland B. Day joins in this concurring opinion.
