What percentage of children that are removed from parents are given to grandparents for permanent custody?

Not enough unfortunately. Usually, if the child is removed from both parents' care before legal guardianship is established, the child is remanded to the custody of the state. At that point, it becomes more difficult (and expensive) for grandparents to gain custody. There are heartbreaking stories all over the place of grandparents trying in vain to get custody of their grandchildren.

How do you regain primary custody after giving temporary custody to the grandparents?
If it was the court that awarded the grandparents temporary custody there must have been a reason. If the court considered you not to be a "fit" parent at the time you may have to offer convincing evidence that you are NOW a fit parent. File a motion with the court to regain custody of the child(ren). If the custody was ruled only 'temporary' the court realizes that it is not necessarily permanent situation.Generally when a person says they gave temporary custody to grandparents they actually mean to say they consented to the appointment of the grandparents as temporary guardians. The appointment is then made by the court. In that case the parties must return to court to terminate the guardianship order and the court will hear testimony to make certain the change is in the best interest of the child.
Can the police force grandparents of a child to give the child to the mother?
If the grandparents do not have legal permanent custody and the mother has proof she is the child's legal custodian, even if she has been absent in the child's life--yes, they can. If you believe the mother is unfit to care for the child or you have had physical custody for a long period of time with little or no contact from the mother, you can file an emergency appeal for custody with the courts. A temporary custody paper will not keep the child with you if she ever signed one as she can revoke it at anytime.
