A lot will depend on the outcome of the trial IMO - If she is found guilty, then she will probably be put on the SOR and the child may well be permanently removed.What will happen to the Baby girl?
Will she be adopted?
Will she stay in foster family for the time being?
What about the father?
He is still a minor, under 18, no?
Will he be involved in daughter's life?
Will he get custody of her later on?
I'm worried about this child.
Maybe grandparents can take care of the little girl.
Better to stay with family.
In those circumstances I would doubt that Ms Joynes' parent would be awarded guardianship. Obviously that's MOO, but in my experience kinship care requires that strict conditions are attached to how/when/where contact between the child and the parent takes place. If RJ lives with her parents then that would obviously not be possible and, even if she were to move out, I would imagine that SS and the Family Courts would have concerns about the ability of the senior Joynes' to say "no" to their daughter.
The father is a minor and a SA victim - any custody awarded to him or his parents would necessitate them having contact with Ms Joynes themselves - which I doubt would be seen as ideal.
