Hello, On May 20, 2008, my three grandchildren were taken away from me for failing to protect them as well as neglect. A man who used to be my boyfriend along with his family theatened to murder my children and grandchildren if I left. I did try to leave and even sought out the assistance of the Pomona Police Department, and the Santa Monica Police Department. I was told to get a restraining order. I couldn't get a permanent restraining order because the judge said I needed an address for the all parties involved--otherwise he couldn't grant it. My ex-boyfriend and his family planned on holding my ex-husband at gunpoint to rob him in the home. The ex-boyfriend tried to get me to draw a diagram of my home. I told him no and was severely punished. I don't know what to do.
