He got laid off back in Kansas and they were on the skids and I have no idea what went on back there but I know it wasn't good. That's why I tried to get them out here to get them stable.
Otherwise I don't know what else to do and the child is not my grandchild however yes I do know that a shitty situation for that kid. CPS in California is not as thorough in my county as one would hope
