I called CPS on my sons live in girlfriend, when my grandson came home to his mother house after weekend visit w dad and girlfriend he had several bruises on his face and clear 'grab' marks on his forarm, I took pictures and called CPS.when in family court meadeation my son told them he didnt approve of me watching his son as I had mental issues and that I served 2 years in jail for welfare fraud. I am on disability for a major depressive disorder and 21 years ago there was a charge for fraud against me for 900 dollars. It was a book n release no jail time and i repaid the 900 dollars. In the report from the meadeator to the court it says that this person contacted CPS and there was one documented case refering to me . I called CPS and asked them about this one documented case, it was 2005 when I regained custody of my son from his dad for emotional abuse. but none of this was made clear to the court, and when the judge asked my son about the photos that were summitted and he said 'Those bruises happened when he was w my mom', no I wasent in the court room I was watching my grandson.And I now have visual supervision when with my grandson.what can I do? I have been my grandson only caregiver for 3 years of his 3 1/2 years of life this is so terrebly wrong . Im not wanting a visitation order I just want this supervision order lifted. No one has ever contacted me about anything my son said to ask if it were true. Ive been able to provide another person to be present when I watch my grandson for his mom so she can continue to work, I have recieved several text messages from my sons girlfriend with such verbal abuse as well as threats. my response was 'you have the wrong number and they stopped
 
This doesn't really have anything to do with "due process".

Have you seen the court order that requires your supervision? His mother should have a copy, or certainly is entitled to one
.
The mother apparently supports your continuing to care for the child.

No family court order is permanent, parents can go back time after time to ask for modifications. Any changes would need to sought by the child's mother. I suggest you continue the supervision until you know if it's an order. If it is, have the monitor make notes EVERY day in a journal noting your appropriate care, meals, activities, etc. Six months of this could be enough to change the order if the mom chooses to get it lifted.

Good luck.
