Watch the video above and answer the discussion. The video is a few years old, but is very relevant to current situations. In recent years, there have been many court cases in which attention has been drawn to the issue of grandparents rights (custody and visitation). Due to divorce or other family conflict, some grandparents have been denied access to their grandchildren when they are related to the non-custodial parent.

What do you think about the issue of grandparents rights? Should grandparents have visitation rights? Why or why not?

Often, we expect the grandparents to care for their grandchildren when the parents go to jail, have drug or alcohol problems, or have been deemed unfit parents. Should we expect the grandparents to take responsibility in this situation? Why or why not?
