What to do now?

Yeah, especially since grand-mama apparently had the information back then. She's willing to put her nose where it doesn't belong now, why not say something to someone who can do something about it WHEN IT'S HAPPENING??? Imagine, her daughter's boyfriend is ABUSING her grandson and she says nothing. He comes back into the picture and he's the anti-christ. Sounds to me more like she doesn't like boyfriend and will do anything to make daughter leave him, including threatening her with her kids. Call me a skeptic, but something stinks about this whole thing (and not on the OP's part).

And if it did happen, why he didn't tell you about it sooner? Time to open up a dialogue with your boy about being able to tell you anything, anytime without fear. That you are there to protect him, but you can only do that if you tell him.

Ya know, I was thinking if GM had knowledge that this was going on (child abuse) she had a duty to report this to the authorities. Why didn't she? (If her concern is 100% about the kiddos.)

I agree with CC. It's time to open up a dialogue with your son.

I doubt she has the LEGAL duty (i.e. mandated reporter) to report to the authorities, however, my God, as a grandmother, why WOULDN'T you say something.

We are on the same page. Wasn't speaking necessarily of legal. I was speaking of duty as in doing the right thing. As a grandmother. At a minimum, what a genuinely concerned person would under the same circumstance.

I totally agree!

Yeah I am thinking the same thing she is out to get the bf or dissappointed that her daughter got help getting away from him without involving anyone else and now upset that she is putting herself and the kids back in harms way. Who knows!
