Be blessed

Don't be so quick to talk down on me cuz you realm don't know the story

I really think you are execrateing about the abuse and are bitter. Your daughter may have a very good reason for cutting you off. I think you may need some counselling. It may get you to understand why your daughter may be withholding her child from you. Shame on you for starting trouble and calling cps on her. I am sorry if this sounds mean but I think you need a wake up call. You protest too much. Read all the stuff you wrote on here.... hopefully you will understand why I say this. I think if you do not stop and get help you will lose both of them forever.

 My BIL got temporary custody of his grandchildren (lasted 4 years) when his daughter (the 2 children's mom) got caught by the police/CPS she was busy smoking pot and sleeping it off in the house and the kids (who were 18 months and almost 3) were running around in the street with no supervision.
My BIL didn't want the kids in foster care so he stepped in. His ex-wife didn't want part of the mess or the work, so she didn't do a thing, she STILL got visitations.
I DO believe that the mother of the kids agreed to her dad having the kids, but I think it's kind of rare that CPS puts kids in foster care over a family member.
So why is it that your daughter wants you to have no contact? If it's a petty reason (that you don't like the father of the child) I don't see that being a big factor here.
That is why I said, CALL CPS, find a lawyer and set up a meeting.

 I don't have any specifics but I have read of cases in the US and grandparents have fought for their rights to see their grandchildren. From what I understand, the parents cannot refuse for the grandparents to spend time with the children unless the grandparents are a risk or have something really bad (drugs etc) in their background.
As others have suggested, call CPS, talk to the casework/supervisor,anyone who has knowledge of what is going on and can possibly advise you. Also, I'd get a consultation with a laywer..know where you stand before you start.
Good luck!

 Grandparent rights vary from state to state but you really are hamstrung for the most part. Almost always visitation must be court ordered if the custodial parent won't allow it. You will have to prove it is in the child's best interest etc...but one thing is certain, you will need a lawyer. Good luck.

 You're in America, so it may be different, but my mum's cousin has joint custody of their daughter S's two children M & H because S was involved with dangerous people. M & H's father's are different, but they don't know that, so they've been raised to believe M's father is H's father too and M's paternal grandparents have main custody of them both, as M's dad isn't capable of raising them alone.
We can't give you much advice because it's case specific, so you need to consult a lawyer. Don't give up.
