Based on what little facts we have, I side with LD. HOWEVER, OP really needs to have a talk with dad. Under no situation is she ever having to allow the children go with someone she does NOT know. However she doesn't even know what dad's plans are. If dad picks up the children for his time, he can leave them with whoever he wants. But if he is not there, then mom does NOT have to let them go with stepgrandma or paternal grandma or aunt Bessie.
Thank you OG. Not for validating my opinion but for making sure that the parent in this case got correct legal advice.
