Hello, I am crying out for help w/autistic granchilden.

To Whomever might me reading this:

In June of 1988, I was living in El Paso, TX with my husband and my daughter of three years old. My older son was with his father from my first marriage. I would always see my son on his birthday to spend time with him. I flew to my country which is the Dominican Republic on June 13, 1988. I left my daughter Natalie Randall in the care of her father Jonathan Randall and babysitter that was assisting us at the time. When I arrived in the Dominican Republic and called home to see if everything was fine and the babysitter informed me that my husband had kidnapped my daughter. I went through psychological trauma through the whole time that I was looking for my daughter. I met a lot of people that could help me such as Missing Children of America, but the people that had also lost their children were in the same kind of trauma that I was, if not worse. I ate from the garbage, slept in churches, in the hope of finding my daughter. It took me one year to find my daughter and I found her on mother’s day the next year. I decided to go back with my husband and daughter for the sake of my daughter’s safety and wellbeing. She was raised hearing my husband mentally abuse me for years and years. When my daughter was 7 years old, he started to torture her mentally as well. He would tell her such things such as, “I hope you fall down and break your neck”. This was clearly not a sane person telling their daughter these things. The time passed and my daughter graduated from high school, but the everlasting effects of being mentally abused from her childhood made her turn to drugs to cope with the abuse. From this daughter I have two grandchildren who were both born with autism. In November of 2008, when my grandson Elijah was born Child Protective Services became involved in his life because cocaine was found in his blood that came from cocaine abuse from his mother. My daughter Natalie was unable to take care of her two children because of her drug problems, so I have been raising my grandchildren since they were born. Three months after Elijah was born, my daughter went to jail because of violation of parole. I told her that she was going to be cured from her drug habit because of the time she was spending in jail but two weeks after she was released, she relapsed into Heroine abuse. Child Protective Services gave me an ultimatum which was to either keep my grandchildren or kick my daughter out or they would take the children away. To protect my grandchildren their mother Natalie was forced to leave my residence because this was the best thing to do for them. To make the story worse, on January 29, 2010, my husband put a pistol to my head and he said that he was going to blow my head off. I called the police and two policemen came to my door. One was Anglo and the other was Latino. Instead of the police officers protecting me, they sided with my husband and asked him if they wanted him to throw me out of the house. In March of the same year, my husband abandoned my grandchildren and me. He left us with no money and cut off all of the utilities. I made a formal complaint because I felt discriminated by the police man where I was clearly the victim and my voice was not heard. On May 23, 2010, I went to the police station because I wanted justice to be done because of what my husband had done to me. When I arrived at the police station, there was an investigator there and I asked him for his assistance to follow up with a case against my husband. I was with my grandson Elijah and everything went well, the investigator was courteous in the beginning. He asked me to please wait and I did for about 45 minutes without knowing anything. When he came back out, he yelled at me, “GET OUT, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO HERE”. On my way out, I called internal affairs and he overheard and brought me back into the station and put me in handcuffs without telling me why I was being handcuffed. He booked me and called Child Protective Services. Two ladies came in from C.P.S. and started to interrogate me and they were ready to take me to jail and they told me that I needed to get a ‘VACATION’ and that they were going to take my grandchildren away from me. A month later I saw my grandchildren they were with a C.P.S. worker named Priscilla Flores they were telling me that they didn’t want to take my grandchildren away from me so cut the visit short because I had a feeling that they were lying to me. I went to the court house and I found out that the following day I had a court date and they did not say anything to me. I showed up to the court date and I gave the card to my lawyer, 15 minutes later they told me they was not going to be a court date and another C.P.S. worker ran out of there. The C.P.S. workers were trying to cover themselves. I have people that are willing to testify that my children have never been neglected, they were loved and cared for since they day they were born. They are not slow children as the C.P.S. workers have said, they are intelligent children. I did not see my grandchildren for over a month after this without knowing their whereabouts. I called consumer affairs and tried to speak to the C.P.S. supervisor and they said that they were going to start an investigation so I called the local C.P.S. department and I spoke with one of the secretaries and told her that there was a ‘booming investigation going underway’. She intentionally said that I had said ‘bomb’, only later finding out, and the secretary said that I was going to place a bomb their offices, which was false information. I had already lost my grandson Elijah because he was given to his father and they separated the children. One is in South Carolina and the other is still in the hands of C.P.S. I asked the judge if he would allow ‘home study’ so that I could bring my grandchildren and I was wrongfully denied. They are now claiming that I am mentally ill so I asked them to provide me with a psychological evaluation to prove to them that I was not mentally ill. This request was too, denied. I spoke to C.P.S. On December 23, 2010 and they told me that they will never considerate me as a candidate for release of my grandchild Isaiah and are only considering his grandfather, my ex-husband. He considers the children as incompetent and I am afraid that he is going to mentally torture him the same way he did to me and his daughter for years. He has no patience to truly take care of his grandchildren, even his own daughter. He doesn’t have any spiritual beliefs and does even believe in Christmas. I am trying to intervene with my lawyer and I was again DENIED. Now we are appealing but so far I am not going anywhere. I want C.P.S. to at least give my grandson to someone that loves him with the same love that I would have given him. Not to a man that wishes that his only daughter dies and is clearly insane. I did not know that C.P.S. can lie too much and make up stories to get their way to make the judge believe what they say and they are protecting them. My grandchildren have NEVER been neglected or left alone by me. I always gave them what they needed, especially Isaiah by giving him educational games and everything that he can learn to talk and express himself. I love my grandchildren will all my heart I hope there is someone out there that can help me, I am begging for help from anyone that will give their assistance. I still have not lost hope and with your help I know that my grandchildren will be returned to their sane, caring grandmother that they have had since day 1. Please if you read this letter, help me, I went for the Intervene and I was denied because they say that I was past the statute of limitations. They did not inform me of this. I do not want to lose my grandson, he was raised by me with love and care and I love him more than anything in this world. Particularly because he has autism and needs more love and attention that only someone that loves him the way I do can give him. C.P.S. has made up lies, used them in court and has everyone convinced that I am a bad grandmother and are determined to take away my grandson and place him with someone that does not understand his condition. I have concrete evidence that everything that C.P.S. is saying is WRONG.

If there is anything that you can say or give advice about, please let me know.

Thank you for reading,

Alexandra Randall

Here are two videos that I have uploaded to Youtube so that you can see who I am and my grandchildren as well.

You need a lawyer. Contact your local legal aid, projects for abused women, or similar. The issues you mentioned have nothing to do with raising an autistic child, so they are pretty well out of what we are capable of talking about here.
