Legally, as a relative you could be considered for placement if legal mother (bio grandma) is abusing or neglecting the child. As a practical matter, if the therapists and DCS workers do t believe the child and believe mom, it's going to be very hard. The abuse and neglect would have to be proven by clear and convincing evidence. It certainly sounds like a very difficult situation.
