That depends on state law where you live and where the child legally resides if it is different and no legal custody order is in place. No one can give you an answer without that information

A grandmother is a grandmother, whether she died before the grandchild was born or years after. If she died long before the grandchild was born, she may not know when she became a grandmother, but that is another matter. The English language does not have a word or phrase for a grandparent who died before the grandchild was born. If you absolutely require a phrase, the proper description would be "deceased grandmother" or "dead grandmother."

And in all cases, any extenuating circumstances are considered. For instance, if a parent is indigent, incarcerated, hospitalized, etc., the may not be found to have abandoned their child.

Criminal abandonment in Illinois is basically leaving a child under the age of 13 w/o supervision twenty-four hours or more. This means that if there is someone over the age of fourteen in the household, the law will not apply unless the children were left in "unsafe or unfit conditions"; those terms are oiutlined in the exceptions of the abandonment law.
