Grandparents Rights

Hi, I am a grandparent of two grandchildren and a mother of six children. I currently have grandchildren who are in foster care, they are in foster care because social services decided to give them back to there abusive father who does drugs. My daughter got invovled with the kids father when she was seventeen years old and she graduated from high school at eighteen years old the next thing I know she was pregnant. I was so happy to be a grandparent,but was worried about the way things was going. I would go over there to visit with my daughter and one day I asked her if she wanted to go for a walk around the marina and her boyfriend got mad at me for asking her if she wanted to go out and take a walk. I could see the signs of abuse and tried to tell my daughter that she should leave him before things got worse. As time went on she would call me up on the phone crying and telling me that he would hit her in the stomach while she was pregnant and call her all kinds of names sometimes he would get so out of control that he would break things in the house that they lived in,but when I would call the cops over there she would not press charges against him for the abuse. Later on I found  out that the father of my grandchildren was doing drugs and had got my daughter hooked on meth a very bad drug. It got so bad that he would not pay the rent where they lived and they got kicked out of the place they lived at and ended up living in a motel with two kids. My daughter got tired of the abuse and decided to leave him,so I helped her get into an apartment I paid the rent and deposit on the apartment and bought the food and diapers for her and the grandchildren. Little did I know she decided to move a man in the apartment while I was buying food and paying the bills. She didn't go out and look for a job and I felt like I was being taken advantage of and so I decided to stop paying the rent there. It had gotten so bad that the kids was not being taken care of and she asked me if I could take the kids for awhile until she got things straightened out, so I decided to take care of the grandchildren and I just had neck surgery on my neck and wasn't suppose to do any lifting at all so I called to see if social services would take care of the grandchildren until I got healed up. The social worker came over and picked the kids up and gave them back to there abusive father that does drugs and I couldn't understand why they did that because social services is supposed to be there to protect the kids,but they didn't. The next thing that I know the grandkids are back in foster care because the father was doing drugs around them and didn't take care of them and they was being underfed along with having major ear infections and colds. I was going to try and get my grandkids out of the system but social services said that I would have to become a foster parent and have to be finger printed. I only get to visit with my grandkids about once a month right now and if I do visit with them I have to be with my daughter when I go to the visits, so If me and my daughter are not getting along I don't get any visits with my grandkids. Since then my grandkids was adopted out and I have no grandparents rights because I told my daughter to fight for her parental rights at least thats what social services told me and the other grandparent gets visitation because her son gave up his parental rights doesn't this system sound screwed up well it is and I want to see it get changed  because I believe that social services treats us grandparents like we are criminals and I have seen the children in harms way such as placing them in unlicensed foster care homes or back with the parents that abused them to begin with. What kind of system is that, I thought they was suppose to protect the children, that is what they are paid for arn't they. Could you please help me change this system the last time I had a petitition on this site I had 35 signatures,but we need more signatures  to change the way this system works with children so that they are not placed back into the abusive homes and unlicensed foster care homes. Thanks,Dina Hamby
