Best Answer

The grandparents could file for guardianship of the minor in the appropriate state court. The court would then decide if the mother's parental rights should be terminated due to neglect and/or abuse of the minor child. The first step is to notify the state's department of children and family services and request an investigation be done of the minor's current situation. Unless there is substantiating evidence of abuse and/or neglect authorities will not take further action. Please be advised, disputes due to discipline issues, personal responsibility (chores, homework,etc.) or the minor simply not wanting to live with a custodial parent is not considered abuse or neglect of the minor child.
