When our daughter, M., was drying off her 5 yo daughter, G., on Tuesday night, she noticed what looked like brush burns on G's shoulder blades. Both G and her brother R, said that daughter's ex, T's fiancee , A., had pushed G against a motel wall this past weekend where they attended a rodeo with their dad,T. and his fiancee, A. . Daughter called police and filed a report in the town in which she lives. Yesterday, she went to file for a protective order. The judge denied it because there is a custody agreement in place. Our daughter was not asking for the order to be vacated, she's trying to protect G. This morning, my husband brought G to her pediatrician to have this on file. M had called the pediatrician to ask what she can do and this is what he suggested.

Today, M is going to the town where the incident occurred to try to file charges there. M texted me a few minutes ago asking that I ask everyone for prayers. I am so disgusted by the judge. T's dad is a bigwig at the local college. He has consistently gotten T off the hook from DUIs, leaving the scene of an accident, almost beating a guy to death. HATE who you know and who you blow justice system that refuses to protect a child.

Please send up prayers for our granddaughter G, her mom, M. and our family. Pray that justice is done to protect our darling little G.

UPDATE: The police detective she met with today took the abuse seriously. He will investigate! Thanks a million for your prayers!!!

UPDATE 2: Judge today refused an emergency custody order. She happens to be a neighbor of the ex.
