I live in Texas and each state has differing laws regarding this, so I do not feel that I can adequately answer you. Call your local police dept and give them the bare basic facts regarding this case. They should be able to tell you if your son must take his son back into the home or not. In the meantime, are there any friends that might take the boy in on a temporary basis? I know this might prove difficult if they are aware of his problems..if they do not know, .they should definitely be made aware if they agree to help. How about a homeless shelter? Many churches have free meals, perhaps he can make use of one of those facilities. If he is, as you say, involved in drugs, perhaps a rehab unit is the place to look to for assistance. Once he is clean and is recovering, perhaps his Dad would be more likely to welcome him home. Kids can ruin not only their lives but the lives of everyone that loves them when they become involved in drugs but you obviously know this. Perhaps after this event your grandson would be more than willing to take the steps needed to get clean and off drugs for good...for every-one's sake, I hope so.
