The Charter for Grandchildren was created by the Scottish Government having recognised the need for grandparents to be considered more in children's lives. It needs to be made legal for everyone to acknowledge it.
It is a family friendly charter and gives the rights to children (not the grandparents) to have their grandparents if able too care for them in crisis situations if their parents are not available. This will prevent children being taken into care or suffering forced adoption.
Removing children from their family devastates them and they become bitter, resentful/ unmanageable and destroy their self-esteem and very often they become non-achievers when they grow up. They often turn to gangs for that belongingness that was torn away from then.
Children need to be treated right and this is not happening today. The social service treat them like commodities as in a business deal Snatching, grooming them by telling them their family dose not want them. Then adopt them or the care system. This is killing families.
