Asked on Feb 28th, 2014 on Child Custody - Idaho
More details to this question:
My former fiance gained legal custody of her granddaughter. For 3 years I took care of her as my own 95% of time and raised her as my own and have continued 18 months after we split. Now she has pawned the child of on her elderly parents who are in bad health because she did not want to pay for daycare. When she was with her grandmother she would lock the 3 year old out of her room to talk on phone until I found out. It is utterly sickening what she has done to the child. The grandmother is mentally ill! I don’t want her to end up in a foster care and remain anonymous if I report this. What is your advice?

You need to speak with an experienced attorney. You may have grounds for a third party custody case under Minn. Stat. 257C. Absent a petition for custody, you only other real alternatives are that anonymous child protection report you mentioned without rights over the child there aren't means to make make bad parents be better.
