Individual Project

I was the youngest of my two brothers and one sister, growing up in a sm exclusively urban center on the Eastern shore of Maryland. capital of Zimbabwe is the city name of my hometown. Our father died when I was at the young come on of four. My mother who was very strong willed and independent increase all of us on her own after daddy died. She raised us and taught us to do well in school and to make good grades. She instilled in all of us to be very loving and presentable children that enjoy our elders. We were brought up in the church and taught to say our effortless prayers before sacking to fare at night. Hygiene was a must and cleanliness was a daily routine.My grandson is nine years of age and he also lost his father(my son) at a early age, as we did. He use to come confabulate me during the summer and on holidays. He is a lovable child that had no will to do his best in anything. His mother is a deafen mute and very uncaring to her children. My grandson and his siblin gs have been removed from their homes by the put forward Dept. of Social Services over seven times since he has been born. They were taken away because the mother wouldnt send them to school, would not keep appointments for their dental consonant work or health checkups and leaving them unattended for more than 24 hours.Because of her neglect my grandson lost all hope of being anybody in his world. He has been placed in foster homes, unknowingly to me over the past triplet years of his life. The mother is in and out of jail. During her absence from their home has caused so many terrible events. The kids were attacked by a dog that they brought in the signboard off the streets of Baltimore. His two sisters were raped by friends of their mother. They have gone to bed without anything to eat or drink. I went to Baltimore and rescued my grandson from his mother and that terrible city of Baltimore.My daughter and I have taught him so much since hes been living with me for the past tw o years. He now knows how to bathe daily, drag in his teeth, match his clothes and shoes and most of all has been on the detect roll for the past two years in school. Ive filed for storage area of him. Im still waiting for the custody courts to grant me a decision. Im strongly leaning toward being granted doctor custody of him. My children are grown and one of them is deceased. I raised them in the footsteps of my mom raising me.This venture has been very stressful for me at times, that Im not going to give up on him. Im at the age of 55 and starting all over again raising a child. Im overjoy because my grandson is safe and well taken care of and very much loved. neglect is one of the main reasons for early age deaths of many children who are raised in the inner cities. Evidence and witnesses are needed to win a custody case. Even though the decision that the courts and custody hearings, I find that I should be awarded sole custody of my grandson.
