i was told they could only give that information to the mom and dad,
she has already been ask who her next of kin is and she said me so i dont understand, she has no one else, i tried to get this across to the staff nurse but she made me feel like an interfering gran and thats not the way it is at all
Custody is not an issue here. It's a bit of a red herring. Nobody has disputed custody of the infant,[/html] nobody has alerted the Health Board that the infant is in any need of other care. The infant is with her mother and she is being well cared for. Presumably the father is not questioning that. Therefore the issue of custody simply doesnt arise.
Vanilla is right, its not a matter of custody, my Daughter is young but capable of caring for the child with the support of myself.
P.S. you get similar problems where the parents of a child are not married - even when they are cohabiting. Some hospitals etc. will not give info to the father unless they have received permission of the mother or the father has gone to family law court and was granted guardianship. Where guardianship and custodys are not automatic under law, it is always better to get them formally granted.
