My ex-inlaws are wanting to take my kids out of town for a day. 3 years ago these same people helped my ex, their father, to take my kids away. They would not let me talk to or see my kids for a week. They told a judge that I was abusing them. We went to court and the judge ordered their father to give the children back because they had no evidence what so ever to support abuse. My oldest son even told them they were not abused and that he wanted to live with me. They have not seen or heard from their dad since then. Now his family is wanting to take them for a day. Let me add that even after court his family still believed that I abused them. I still to this day am uncomfortable being around them or even talking to them. We were all got along before this happened but what they did is something I cannot forgive. Should I let them take them? I have full custody. Their dad refused joint custody. What should I do?
Last response was let the child go! So they can interrogate them?
This grandmother is the step-grandmother and she has not seen or talked to them in 3 years and we live in the same town.
 
The bigger the extended family that your kids are in contact with, the better for them. You really can't blame your ex's parents for believing what their son told them about abuse.

I'm sure that they miss their grandkids - and kids benefit from a relationship with grandparents too.

If you're worried about their motives, why not arrange to let them have shorter meetings first to re-establish a relationship before taking them on an all-day trip? Maybe they could meet the kids at a local McDonalds for an hour or so with you present too?

Follow your gut, but know that you don't have to let them take the kids anywhere, or even let them see them for that matter.
