Just to add to this discussion, yes they do not have any rights to seek custody or pursue some sort of civil case against LV like she seems to be asserting.
What we are seeing is that the state has instituted a child protection action (that one is sealed). Presumably the state has taken or will take custody of the children. A guardian ad litem has already been appointed and that is usually an attorney or other such professional that can objectively determine what is in the best interests of the children. The grandparents have asked for guardianship if the children become wards of the state and need to be placed somewhere. Most states prefer that children be placed with family members instead of in foster care or a group home situation. This is far different from seeking custody. This is all MOO.
Agreed. It is just confusing that everyone keeps referring to Kay Woodcock as the "grandparent".
At least she was the one "canary in the mine" that alerted LEO to the fact that JJ was gone. I wonder if she had not pursued this, that the police in Arizona and Idaho would not have connected in regards to Tammy Daybell and Charles vallow's deaths.
