They could but it would be illegal. You can not keep your grand kids with you if their parent(s) want them returned. If you refuse to return them you can be arrested. If you take them without the consent of both parents you can be charged with kidnapping as well.
The child can get some help and good advice by calling the CHILDHELP National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-CHILD.
Another way to get help is to try to explain what has been going on to an unrelated adult who they trust such as a teacher, doctor, neighbor or a friend's parent. If there is no one else such as the persons mentioned in that list then call the police when no one is around and tell them you are being abused and need help.
Not all the time, and not all grandparents, but, yes, grandparents do abuse their grandchildren. Often, the now-grandparent abused their child as well.
The baby's grandparents could get custody.
Usually the State child welfare/protective services agency will intervene in such a case. Before someone obtains permanent legal custody, the parents' rights must be terminated, either voluntarily or by court order.
Only after approval of an Emergency Petition for Custody for a Child In Need of Care.
If the grandparents have had custody the parents of the child have to pay them child support. If you by child care mean daycare that is also the parents who pay for that.
The grandparents should file for court ordered custody and child support, retroactive for 12 years.

Yes.
maybe if they have custody they could get child benefits
For the grandparents to get the custody over the parent, they have to go through a court case and prove to their case to have custody.
It depends on who has legal custody.
If the baby's parents agree to it.Another View: To gain LEGAL custody: onlyif the grandparents petition the court for the childs custody and the court awards it to them.
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.
That's a matter for the courts to revoke the custody agreement.

The grandparents can request custody but unless there is a very good reason the court will award custody to the biological parent(s).The grandparents can request custody but unless there is a very good reason the court will award custody to the biological parent(s).The grandparents can request custody but unless there is a very good reason the court will award custody to the biological parent(s).The grandparents can request custody but unless there is a very good reason the court will award custody to the biological parent(s).
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.
