If the children are being neglected the grandparents should, by all means, try to have the parents deemed unfit and obtain legal custody through a petition for permanent guardianship. They should consult with an attorney who specializes in child custody issues.
The factors used to determine that a parent is unfit are generally governed by state laws with child endangerment being the determining factor. The following include some of the reasons a parent may be declared unfit:
- physical, emotional and sexual abuse
- excessive discipline
- failure to protect the child from abuse by others
- failure to report abuse of the child
- neglect- failure to provide food, clothing, proper hygiene, necessary medical treatment, schooling
- failure to provide proper medical care
- failure to provide day to day parental care
- serious illness or disability
- mental illness
- substance abuse or addiction
- Alcoholism
- criminal activity and/or associations
- incarceration
- conduct or conditions that are seriously detrimental to the child
- abandonment
- child endangerment
- leaving the child unattended or in the care and supervision of a child or otherwise incompetent person
- a failure to provide adequate supervision
- unsafe living conditions
- a medical condition that makes it impossible for the parent to adequately care for the child
