Result: Permanent care and custody ordered. The Respondent grandfather=s plan was not reasonable, sound or well received. He was the person who had raised his daughter (mother of he child) and had contributed to her best interests in her parenting. She was transient, not responsible and had been given very little guidance by her father.
