Laws Need to Be Changed For Grandparents Rights

my granddaughter whom I have not been allowed to see. 11 months ago I spoke up to the fathers mom about a situation the step mom was doing and it was putting the children in danger. My thank You was a warrant sworn out for me because the step mom told the cops I threatened to kidnap my grandaughter, this was false and the charge was dropped after my evidence and witnesses told what really happened. I was still slapped with a no contact order and I am not allowed near my grandchild. This kind of thing happens on a daily basis to not just me but thousands of grandparents around the world and it is unfair and un just and we need to step up and make the lawmaker change the laws.

I am tired of hearing that Grandparents have no rights to love their grandchildren and be in their lives just because we anger the parents. I believe that there should be a law to keep grandparents away only if they have harmed the child or the grandparent is unstable. I also believe that if the Grandparent has had any type of criminal record of any type or any drug or alcohol issues they should be kept away.
However I do not believe the Grandparent who has been a part of the Childs life from birth and has never done anything to hurt the child except love and nurture them is ripped
away without so much as a goodbye because a step parent or parent feels threatened by the love and bond between the child and grandparent. I feel that if the grandparent can show that they have been in the Childs life on a regular basis and have never hurt the child should have every right to be in the Childs life and they should be allowed visitation. So many parents know the law is on there side are lying and fabricating stories to keep the grandparent away, when they in fact are the ones causing the turmoil in the Childs life by being vindictive because the grandparent didnt do as they say. The step mom is victimizing my granddaughter, the courts told her not to tell this child a thing about what is going in court but every chance she gets she tells this child lies like I am trying to take her away from her family. she tells her I am a bad person and so on, this is pure lies. All I want is to be able to see her not take her away. The step mom yells at her if she tries to talk about how much she misses me. She has banned the grandparents on the fathers side from also seeing the children. We have told the courts this and they are still siding with them. Justice my rear end.
Parents now a day only think of themselves and how they can get even with their parents by using the children as a Pawn. Dont they realize that in the end they lose? When these children grow up and find out why the grandparent was kept away it will be the parent that is hated not the grandparent and all this nonsense will back fire. It is a proven statistic. Lets stop this insanity by signing this petition to give to law makers to show them that they need to change these laws back to where they were years ago when Grandparents did have rights to see there grandchildren. Signing this petition will help. Its hurtful and unfair to keep a child away from their heritage and family. Please help me get my granddaughter back and sign.

Thank You.
