My grandchild has been living with my wife and I from the age of 4 months to 2 1/2 years old due to the mother asking us to care for the child because she had other small children in her home and it was stressful. Every 3 to 4 weeks we would take our grandchild to the mother to stay over for the weekend. We had no issues. On a few occasions, we would pick the child up after a weekend and noticed, a black eye and another time with a broken collarbone. We were told on both occasions the child fell out of the bed. Both times I took the child to the doctor. To make a long story short, child service got involved and at the end of their investigation, they took the child from us and placed permanently with the mother. As grandparents, we have no rights. The mother refuses to allow us to see our grandchild. What can we do?
