LookInsideYourself asked:
Would it be considered “abandoment” if minimal contact was maintained and no support was given, even though the parents have money and they say they will support their own children but don’t? How do the grandparents protect the grandchildren and get the parents to use “tough love” on themselves and take responsibility instead of “taking the glory but not the responsibility”? (Grandchildren taken in during hard times but now parents are solvent and able, but won’t step back up to the plate.)
