After woman disappears, grandparents fight for custody of granddaughter
This is going to get ugly IMO. Poor little girl.
This is the last thing this child needs I would think.
My thought is if Andreen had her mother as the child's caregiver and trusted in that, she would want the child with her mother as she trusted her mother to be the main caregiver of an autistic child. That says quite a bit I feel.
I am a bit at a loss as to why they are in the family home--I take that to mean the McDonald home? He may be charged with tampering with evidence, but it surprises me they can keep his home from him and/or that they have rights to it on behalf of the child? I am totally confused on that one. He is not even charged with murder nor has she probably even been declared dead legally. He has also not been convicted of anything. I wish he was but the fact remains he has not been so how is it they have rights to the home?
Is he fighting for his daughter as well (the husband/child's father/suspected perp)? He is named as a defendant but none of the article states he is represented nor trying to maintain custody of his own child. What does that say?
If the two grandparents are purely concerned for the child and her welfare, after what this child has been through, one would hope they could work something out, however, it is clear the grandmother has been involved in her daily life and worked at the home run by Andreen as well. Sometimes things cannot be worked out depending on the motives of each. The grandmother again was clearly involved in daily life with her daughter and granddaughter, therefore I think the child would be more comfortable with her. As far as assets, I would hope and think there is something that can be done to ensure they are protected for the child and her needs.
The one thing that stands out to me is the grandmother was okay with her ex and wife living in the home because they were all grieving, yet he gave her not one hint he was going to challenge for custody.
In reading between the lines, I do not like that.
Based on the little we know and my opinion is subject to change based on more information but that is my two cents worth at this time and jmo.
